as plentiful as files around sugar barrel,
and the only that developed class was the one

team. aided by the speedy Harry Hillman, won.
closely pressed by the second team OF the same

third II a fast race, may be Judged by the
time-3 q SIS.
The two-rniIe military relay race resulted in a
creditable victory for the Sd Regiment In the

vantage. Wa1ther managed to Iead NJ Gels, Of the
list Regiment across the line by fifteen yards

merry within. From the moment detachment of
the New York Scottish Highlanders marched
around the armory 10 the tune The Campbells
Are Coming" There was never dull moment with
in the inclosure. Later in the evening the High
landers played the participants in an exhibition
of Gaelic figure dancing.
The bagppes were also in evidence Throughout
the Highland Fling competition for girls. 70 say
nothing of the several other dancing events that
appeal to the Scotch. When these artists in kits
got busy in the middle of the floor simultaneously
with the regular running contests the affair as
sumed the appearance OF a four-r1nged circus anu
the din terrific.
