Scotchmen are noticing if not patri-
otic. L hiquitous to a degree not
paralleled by the representatives of
any other nation penetrating a/den
beyond the confines of recognized
civilization, they still carry with them
the characteristics ae)d customs of their
belov ;d motherland. Their love for and
attachment to the institutions and
associations of their native (arid is
proverbial. Time does not weaken,
and distance cannot • annihilate- this
allegiahce ; and so wherever ' two or
three Scotch men are 2athe,ed together,
the emblems, traditions, and memories
of Autd Scotia receive respectful and
reverent homage. Even MacColl, one
of ourn
ioclern Scottish. l,arllc!
, well-
Enowuto many of our couriers, has
t
thus pictured the alleetioa of the -Scot
for the land of his nativity :

But while thus, strong in his devo-
tion to the land of "'mountain lakes,

accession ; generally prosperous, and
the right l:iud of material for the up
building of the nation. Though having
this characteristic of making himself
amenable to his sitaatiop, his patriot-
ism is.uoquinchable ; smouldering, it
may be,' but it becomes a living fire
when ..fed with the fuel that- awakens
the recollection of scenes and associa-
tions that are hallowed and dear.
One way of fostering this spirit of
regard abroad has been by the institu-
tion"of societies that have a community
of interest, and that take keen concern
in preserving all. desirable national
traits—Auld Scotia's language, her
literature, and her pastimes. In this
spirit was the Lucknow Caledonian
Society founded, and the 'Great North-
ern Caledonian Gaines institrci, ted
and' backed by .the dense and sentinien.t
of a comparatively largo Scotch popu.
lation, the organization, through good
and evil report, has gone forward'to
fifteen years of unbounded prcisperity.
The. Society held its first games in
1874 ; and duringr the intervening
period, while sister organizations have
flourished for a while and fallen by the
wayside, by reason of adverse circum-
stances, the Great Northern Caledonian
Games, the banner of 'America, hare
continued to add fresh laurels to a long
list of brilliant successes. / These
triumphs are solely due to the excel-
lent niariagement that has~ character-
ized these Games from their inception;
and given them, not only a continental,'
but a transatlantic reputation for
superiority. * goodly number of the
old stalwarts that have helped to make
their history are still at the helm,.

decorated, Campbell Street being es-
pecially. worthy of notice. Flags,
bunting and evergreens were.displaved
in profe1sion, and, in addition, two
flue arches spanned the street, the one
opposite the Post Oice being the
handiwork of Messrs. W. J. Brampton
and Malcolm Campbell, and the other
opposite the Whitely House' being the
enterprise 'of Mr. John McGarry, the
popular proprietor of that hostelry.
'The front of the hotel was also
bedecked with evergreens, and both
were beautiful at night under a liberal
supply of banners and Chinese lauteras.
Cain's Hotel was also nicelylired in
a dress of evergreens, festoned at night
with colored lights and Chinese ,lan-

• Tuesday is always looked upon as a
sort:of preliminary prepa-ation to. the
great day proper ;✓ but it is wonderful
what an amount of genuine enjoyment
is- usually crowded into this day. We
have frequently met not a few who
prefer the first day's proeeediugs, per-
haps on account of the many. pleasing
supr`,ises' in the way of old-time and
undreamed of faces, and hearty fellow-
ship that follows.
However this may be, last Tuesday
was no exception to the general rule •
The sun shone genially, and the tem-
perature was agreeable. Many old
faces, familiar to us in days gone by, •
were continually looming? up, on the
streets ; and• it was the remark of not
a few • that more of the "on boys"
were .putting in • appearance at the
games than has been the case for
several years past., For the sporting-
ni;;en, of course the great interest cen-
tered in the (limiting competitions in
the Caledonian Park ; but others, not
so interested, passed the time looking
up old friends. Between three and
four o'clock in the afternoon, the town

As usual, the quoiting • tournament
'•,rouelit together some of the most ex-
pert devotees of the iron rings"',in
the Dominion.. The, contests, on the
whole, were remarkable .exhibitions of
Skill and prowess, and were highly
eecitiog. Then they were genuinely
hunigrous, happy badinage and merry
" cracks" being; the order throughout,
uttered, . of course, in those mellow
notes ;.ailed the " Doric lucid." The
Scotchman takes to quoiting ea. nat-
urally as to curling.
Some old -tine feces were discerned
among the contestants, faces whoee
presence. always ensure a.keen bid for
horrors. There were such old acquaint•
anees as Messrs. 'F. Patterson, of
Blue vale ;;J. Cowan, of Bright ; .W.
-:Clement, of \Viin. hath ; at: infusion
of new blood in Messrs.. W.. R. Hen -
deism], of Gait ;. W. Errington, of
London; 5.• Leggett, of Winghanr,
besides numerous others • of local and
district renown. c.
Some two or•three huncl ed specta-
tors• watched the prelimin.ar:y contests
on Tuesday afternoon. in the two
classes there were ketween 20 :and 25
entries on the aggregate ; of which
only seven compete d in the heavy class.,
Messrs. J. S. Tennant, M.D..of Luck -
now ; and James Webster, of Kinloss,
acted as referees, and were enimently
judicious in their decisions, a most
pleasing thing to note 'indeed. In the
heavy weights, too such redoubtebles
as Patterson and Corrigan meeting
ensued a pretty—contest, the former
being victorious. Perhaps the most
exciting sti urgle of the day was that
between Messrs. Cowan and Elliott.
Mr. Elliott, who is one- of our most
promising local players, secured a good
lead on the veteran from Bright,and in
fact, had him pretty well in hand until
midway in, the twenties, when the•
old , war-horse made seine of the• most
brilliant "ends" of hie career, winning
eventually by two points. This con-
test eli ;iced much applause, The
contests abovel cited ,occurred in the
first draw. In the second draw, light
weights, Messrs. Henderson anuli Law-
son again• carne together for the second
tune this season, but this ,tinge the
Galtonian was the successful contest-
ant, after a "fast" genie. Taken
altogether, , the tournament was a suc-
cess in every respect. Appended is

morning broke bright ,and clear on
Wednesday morning,' and throughout
the whole day old Sol shone forth
all his splendor. In fact, the weather
could not be, more delightful, and from
an early hour visitors began 'pouring
into the pillage, Cheap Johns set tip
their tents, and by ten o'clock the
streets presented a lively appearance.'
The. half past ten train from the north
and the noon tL tin from the south
each brought Large consignments of
sight -seers,' -while the surroundings
townships were .also well represented.
Shortly after twelve o'clock the Officers.
and members of the Society formed
into procession at the Town Hall, and
headed by Pipes Smith, McKay and
Johnston,. marched , down Campbell
street to the beautiful park belonging
to the Caledonian Society, followed by
a large concourse of pleasure seekers.
On arriving, at the grounds the day's
pleasures began bya Scotch •reel 'on
