A B T BURNS EULOGEZED ATANNUAL DINNER New Britain Scots Have Ban- quet, Social and Dance The Burns club of New Britain, meeting for its 1¢th annual dinner, concert and dapce at the Burritt| hotel last evening, stepped over the waters which come between New Britain and the land of heather for five hours. the Scots sat down to their ample repast until midnight when the or- chestra played the last note of the last ¢ in linborough. Rev. Samuel Suteliffe, rector of Mark's Episcopal church, was -aker and mentioned that al- though he had come prepared for w Scotch banquet which would leave him plenty of room in which theyclub had fooled him and he found himself so filled with good things to eat that he wished had written out his speech instead of trusting to a brain working with a full stomach beneath it. Rev, Mr. Sutcliffe's theme was “The Wealth of Burns,” given him Dby a slip of the tongue which the committce had picked up and pub- lished as his topic, he stated. He pointed out that as music was the greatest of all arts and poetry was second to that, the combination of the two lifted ieaven than any other power. “What can I say of the wealth of Burns? Upon reviewing his life we find that he died without a nickel and that at no time in his life was he successful in money matters. Surely he would be a poor subject on which to emphasize worldly pos- sessio ven the far-famed Scotch thrift was missing in him; he was never even well to do. What did he ever leave to the world behind him when he passed on? “Bobby Burns left a wealth of the marvelous love for humanity which stands out through all his poems. He left a realization that beauty and truth were things which were eternal. He left a love of fun which comes down 1o us today through the ages. He From 7 o'clock when | nee piece, the ballroom was| the listener nearer | the only| “He left all this not because he was | especially brilliant. Brilllant poets | have lived and died and have been | forgotten but Burns will live for- ever. It was because he touched each one of us with a universal language which gave us a source of inspiration which is needed in ‘each age. Inspirational poets are as much needed’ as statesmen, bankers or tradespeople. Once the world fors gets its poets it begins to rot. He transfigured the relations of every- day life and made them shine forth. He left the wealth of an absolute devotion to the simple virtues which brought love.” President James MacArthur open- ed the meeting with a brief sum- mary of the reason for the annual dinner. Henry E. C. Hill acted as toastmaster and had a lot of fun the expense of himself and the Scotch as a whole. A quartet composed of Mrs. Jane | Sartori Tuttle, contralto; Mrs, Ruth | Goodrich Horton, soprano; Charles | H. J. Stuhlman, tenor, and Arthur E. Howard, bass, rendered a selec- tion entitled “There Was = Lad Was | Born in Kyle.” Mr. Howard sang “Blue Bonnets Over the Border.” Mrs. Tuttle gave a selection entitled “My Heart is |Sair for Somebody.” Following the |address by Rev. Mr. Sutcliffe, the |quartet sang “Robin Adair,” and: Mr. |Stuhlmann sang “Lassie O’ Mine.” |Mrs. Horton sang ‘‘Scottish Blue Jells,” and the singing of *“Auld Lang § finished the singing part |of the program. Mrs. Roy Tuttle accompanied. The gathering sang many numbers throughout the meal. Following the program of singing, M. J. Kenney led the grand march and “all oor guests” followed with a Itz. A special exhibition of High- |land dancing was given by Miss Eleanor Brown of Hartford, accom- panied on the bagpipes by His Ma- jesty's Pipe Major James Tait, who |made the pipes skurl gayly while the {diminutive lassie’s feet twinkled be- neath her kilts.
