A Note From The Past—The God-
erich Star is running a column of news
notes taken from its files of 40 years
ago, Last week it had, under the head-
ing.; "Lucknow Had Great Caledonian
Games," the following; "The most en-
thusiastic Caledonian could hardly
have hoped, at the inception of Luck-
now's society; eight years ago, that
their annual games would ever have
attained the proportions of the show
last Wednesday. That a village of
1,800 inhabitants should be able to se-
cure an attendance of 10,000 people in
one day means a host of unusual at-
tractions and a spirit of energy and en-
terprise on the part of the managers
not often found. Lucknow is Scotch,
and when its citizens undertake to cel-
ebrate the memory of Burns or the
Caledonian Games there are few who
are not willing to lend a helping hand,
