II the Potomac had been the calm
Dundee. and If the daisy fields of Mar
shall Hall had been patches Of thstles,
+ the canny and uncanny Scots of the
! Caledonlan Club could not have felt more
at home than they did on their thirty
/ first annual excursion yesterday.
The yellow flag OF bonny Scotland was
! everywhere, on the masthead OF the
4 Charles Manchester, on the arch at
Marshall Hall, in the dance pavilion, on
the athletic field. and on the proud breasts
of the excursiorists. A thousand souls
/ accompanied by 1000 lunch baskets made
the trip.
! Hoot men wore the Gordon plaid, the
/ MacGregor plaid, the Tartan plaid. and
all the other symbols of the great Scot
/ fish clans-such display Of shaPely
knees has rarely been seen in the sedate
Maryland resort as graced the football
/ field when the Caledonian Club faced
/ their English opponents for a game Of as
/ ISOLATION. The pride OF Scotland wore
red Jockey caps red shirts. and white
pants. with the stockings Of their favor
/ lite plaid, while their rivals appeared in
blue shirts. with no fixed rule as 10
! trousers. When the referees whistle
/ blew, new departure in local athletics
was taken. for il was said TO be the
/ first match game ever played in this VI

field" and how "the Edinburgh pros were
/ beaten by Hampshire" After hard bat

awarded until another game can be
played.

awarded the first prize, while Helen
! Wetzei took the silver medal for second.
/ Then there were quoits. the old-fash-
