Duluth Scots will observe the ami
versary Of the birth Of Robert Burns,
Scotland's great bard, in the usual
way at the Spalding, Monday, January
26. The Burns banquet, given annu-
ally by the Order Of Scottish Clans for
the past rs years, Is always the lead
ing social event of the year in Du-
1uth. 1t is attended by Duluth's lead
ing citizens, and Of course by all good
sons of Scotia and their families.
The banquet this year, we are as
sured, will eclipse all former at
tempts. w. D. Gordon, deputy Royal
Chief of the Order Of Scottish Clans,
and formerly. a popular citizen Of this
city, will reply to the toast, Robert
Burns" the greatest democratic poet
Of all the ages Mr.. Gordon is thor
oughly familiar with the life and
works of the great bard, and a good
treat is promised all who hear, him.
The first gathering of Scottish peo-
pie ever held in Duluth was for the
purpose of celebrating the anniversary
of the birth of Robert Burns, and it
occurred 80 years ago.. The late Rev.
c. C. Salter was prominent inthe cele-
