States, however, and tomtit.* here; too, I think, "the real 'McCoy" is the preferred expression.' Which le right? : +, Well, in cases of usage, the gen- eral rule is that the phrase which comes into common practice is ac- cepted. Take O.K., for example: There are some people around who. deplore 'it, but almost everybody uses it and whether the purists like it ' or not, it'shere to stay. 'By tfiis rule, "the real MCCoy" is quite pro- per. on, this' side of the Atlantic. But let's be sure we don't get aver - proud of it and begin believing, as I have beard some Americans say, that it is the true and older form. It is not. In fact it's not too certain when it began. It may have started as late as the early 1920's during the era of prohibition and bootleggers. In those days almost every pur- veyor' of Illicit liquor either water- ed or adulterated the stuff he sold, but there was one honest bootleg- ger in New York, name of Bill Mc- Coy, who had a reputation for sell- ing real whiskey and. hence, some say, came the expression, "the real ';McCoy." On the other hand, there are those 'who plump for a more ancient source, around, 1895. These folk claim that it began with the amazing career 'of a U.S. boxer called Kid [McCoy. McCoy started• as a welterw'eight and was the best in his class; as he put on weight he became successively a middle- weight, a light -heavy -weight and- a heavy -weight, and won distinction 1 in dyert•c1ass. Ile Wag, ineborti i fecr 7 • V' lte +E at a11 • sounds' very con vlucghg until yow know the. story of "thee real Mackay." • Itr the *trot place I know that it was in use at least ten- years before Kid 'McCoy started' his career, because I-hhave read Min a letter of Robert 'Louis Stevenson, dated:18$6. But'it%prob. .ably gees back a lot farther than that. 'There are several Scotch whiskies which are described by their makers as "the real Mackay," but I don't think any of them orig- inated the phrase. 'The 'Mackay country;is north oaf Inverness and that happens -to be the Scotch whis- ky country too. I suspect that the distillers merely borrowed the phrase which was already in use. The 'traditional story is that there are two branched of the Clan Mackay—the Black Mackays and the Red Mackays, and these two factions were continual}y disputing, their priority. , Eventually the dis- pute was settled on 'Lord Reay; whose theirs have heen the chief- tains ever since. In short, they are "the real Mackays," a phrase designed to bolster their claim against all opposition. The orig- inal Lord 'Reay left Caithness in 1623 and that certainly places the beginning of the phrase a lot far- ther back than any of the U.S. claims for McCoy. There is not much doubt but that the phrase originated in Scotland in the seventeenth century, and much later got corrupted in Ameri- can usage either •by a prize-fighter or a bootlegger. It doesn't matter much either way. The one certain thins is that it looks• -as if "the real McCoy" is a fixture in our language. Personally, I prefer "the real Mackay," but maybe' it would be easier simply to' say "the real thing," Presbyterian WMS Mark Seventy -Fifth Anniversary The 75th anniversary sea -vice and fall thankoffering of the Women's Missionary +Society of First Pres- byterian 'Church was. held Tuesday afternoon- The service drew a large attendance of members, friends and .visitors, and was con- ducted. by the president, Mrs. D.
