T e S. 0. S. Celebration.
' As -w briefly stated last week the
S. 0. Si celebration in Sea,forth on
Wednesday of last week was not a
a
finncial success. But this was owing,
entirely to the un/ortunate weather
conditio s. The coznmittee in charge
of the celebratfon, Messrs. T. Rich-
ardson., J. Beattie and ,W. J. Mbffat
did everything that could be done to
give thel. people a good day of it, and
they weie successful o for the athletes
were he e, sthe pipers were here, and
the Hig laod daneing was pronounced
• by thos in a, position to speak, as
the bestl that could be seen any place.

day, says In part : The meet, which
Was nen under the auspices of the
Sens of Scotland in connection with
a program of H,ighland dancing and
baseball, was well carried out, and
only thq rain prevented it being a
huge 1 nancial success. The 800
people who turned out saw some
grand contests, with the best men in
western Ontario pitted against a good
field of Toronto men. TheprIzee were
