SCOTTISH HOLIDAY.
CaIedOnian Club of New York Is
Arranging for Labor Day.

OF late years Labor Day is con
sidered more or less a Scotch holiday
by orr fellow citizens of the ''land @
cakes and their descendants, for the
reason that the New York CALIFORNIAN
Club now hold their games on that
day.
The Scottish folk of New York and
adjacent states take advantage of the
games to have an annual reunion OF
the clans; no less than forty thousand
.e having attended on one C
in old Jones' Wood. Every state
in the east and the provinces of Can
ada are represented at these gather
ings.
AS most of those who attend wear
the picturesque tartans of their re-
spective clans. it is a pretty and in
spirating sight for the onlooker.
Many a "1assie'' meets her fate in
one of the f'braw laddies'' at these
meets.
1t is expected that the forty-ninth
annual games, which will be held on
Monday, September a, at Washing
ton Park and Casino, Grand street,
between Maspeth and Newtown, L.
l., will equal, if not excel, all former
efforts.
AS there are eighty-seven prizes
(frsts, seconds and thirds)s open TO
competition, aggregating $4,000 and
entries are received up to the start
ing of each event, a large entry list
is the result, more especially as it is
a rule of the club to pay all prizes in
cash Immediately after each event.
The park can be reached by either
the Roosevelt, Grand, Houston, 23rd,
Bath and 92nd street ferries, and
thence by trolley. The Flushing ave-
nue. and Ridgewood cars run direct to
the grounds from New York entrance
to Brooklyn bridge. The grounds car
also be reached by way OF New
Williamsburgh bridge at Delaney
street, via either Grand street OF
Broadway cars (Brooklyn), transfer
ring at Flushing avenue to Flushing
avenue cars, which pass entrance to
park.

pense connected with the purchase of cleo
trlcal apparatus for their own use they

An interesting booklet has been pub
