Jan28g Eirthday An : ' ed in Feast, at Wauregan House. “The best laid plans o' mice and men aft gang aglee,” but such was not the case on Tuesday evening, when the 151st anniversary of the birth of-Scot- land’s national bard, Robert Burns, was most fittingly observed by one of the largest gptherings of Scotchmen and admirers of Burns that Norwich has ever scen. The observance was held at the Wauregan house, with 171 In at- tendance, surpassing in numbers what the committee had planned for, al- though all found room and the best ot service. Time and patience had not been spared in preparing for the affair and it proved a decided success in every particular, so much so that the committee in charge can now see fu— {ure similer duties staring them in the ce. The large dining room was well filled by the gathering of sons of bonny Scotland and their friends, the guests Dbeing seated at the head table with three other long ones extending down the room, while back of the head table a number of small ones were set to ac- commodate the extra attendance. About 8.30 o’clock, headed by C. Me- Kay in Scotch costume and playing the bagpipes, the large gathering marched into the dining room, followed by Mayor Lippitt, Hon. C. P. McLellan of New York and the others. As the large party was seated grace was said by Reid Mclntyre, after which the fol- lowing choice menu was served: Cream of Tomatoes. Celery. Baked Chicken Hallbut au_Gratin. Roast Turkey with Oyster Dressing. Mashed Potatoes. Mashed Turnips. Cranberry Sauce. Haggis. Neapolitan Ice Cream. Assortea Cake: Toasted Water Wafers. ‘Roquefort. Cofree, Cigars. During the banquet Tubbs’ orchestra furnished excellent music, the pro- gramme consisting of Scotch airs and songs, to the delight of the entire gathering. At each place was a small silk Scotch flag, while the menu cards bore the Scotch emblems. As toastmaster, John McDougall was at the proper station and there proved his thorough ability at presiding over such a large gathering. He proposed a toast to Robert Burns, @nd the re- sponse to it was made by Hon. C. P. McLelland of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., and for several terms state senator from Westchester county. Senator McLelland’s address showed him to have been a close student of the works of Robert Burns and his famil- iarity with his verse and songs was manifest throughout his review of the poet’s life and works. He reviewed the early life of the famous poet, the man of whom all Scotchman are proud, and said his father was a representative Scotch farmer, a type which has changed but little, and he knew but lit- tle of success in business venture. The son was the same, and on his arriving at school age gave no prom- ise of being an over-bright pupil or a world-wide poet. He became an en- thuslastic studenf. however, and at fourteen was studying _French and Latin, and at 15 wrote his first book of songs. In obedience to his irrepres- sible nature he gave the legacy which has reverted to Scotland’s credit and extended her fame. He was a genfus and was nature’s poet, and through nature he made manifest his ability as a poet. There has been much dis- cussion of what a higher education would have done for him and it is thought he would have showed up poorly. It would have robbed him of his native dialect and his view of nature and things. He could not help being a poet and his passions raged like so many demons. He has been much criticised and many of them are not to his credit, but those who have criticised show 'that they have not studied his work. The true charac- ter of man is bound to assert itself in what he says and does. He re- ferred to two Englishmen coming to this country to observe and criticise conditions and the wide difference in their reports. A man generally finds what he is looking for, said the speak- er, and so it is with the critics of Burns, Burns was not a saint and made no pretense of being. His life was not a blameless one, and he gave himself to social excesses. but when his genius asserted itelt he was the object of attention from every direc- tion and he was admired. He was ambitious for Scotland. Burns was a liberal or a democrat and lived far in advance of his gener- ation. His spirlt of Aindependence found expression in verse and he was oft reproved for expressing sympathy for the American cause. He was an honest man and writer in his success- es and fallures. His work was simple and true and shines with no luster but his own, He was poor and often boastful that it was honest poverty. He possessed & tender nature, and here the speaker referred to many of the poems of Burns and gave quota- tions to show his nature and the quick application of his gift, speaking in particular of The Mousé and the Daisy. Many of the readers of Burns' works locate the gems and fai) to seek fur- ther for more, and therefare fail to find many beautiful verses and songs. Carlyle says It will be small praise to rank him first of all song writers. Burns' teacher of church music said that he lagged behind all others in that particular line, but he became one of the greatest song writers of the world, He wrote as he spoke, in sim- ple_dialect. There is a wide difference as to what is his masterpiece. Among his best the speaker considered The Bridge of Ayr, Tam _O'Shanter and The Cotters Saturday Night. Burns looked on Tam O'Shanter as the standard of his po- etic effort. The most popular, how- ever, is probably The Cotter’s Sat- urday Night. A review of these works was given by Senator McLellan in the closing of his address, showing the different sides of Burns' nature, and at the close he was given rounds of apnlause. James Hollin sang Rantin’, Rovin’ Robin in fine voice, the accompaniment being played by Prof. James White. He was loudly applauded. The Land We Live In. Archibald ¥, Mitchell proposed the toast, The Land We Live In, and the response was made by Mayor Costello Lippitt, who was given an ovation as he arose to speak. The mayor said he appreciated the outburst, and feels that it is the sentiment which pre- vails in every Scotch heart. The sub- iect to every right-thinking man is one prolific of thought and on whic most any citizen ought to feel compe- tent to speak. He referred to the discovery of this country and added that during it all the Scotchmen were waiting for the door of opportunity to open. “Then they began to come and lave been coming ever since. He ex- pressed his pleasure that they did and expressed the hope that they will con- tinue. He recalled some of tho old Scotch residents, Houstons, Gilmours, Lindsays, and MacDougalls, but they have become too numerous to know ail the names and he expressed pleasure at knowing that there is so large a representation of #o thrifty a people here. He declared that he realized that the future of the city is safe as he looked over the gathering. “You have gone in where the door of opportunity of Robert Eurns Fittingly Celebrat- and Song—171 at Eanquet Wwas open, gone into business, and are doing a grand business, and are mak- ing Norwich a grand city, besides taking part in the city affairs, and enilghtening the people,” added the mayor, “and what s true of Norwich :: t{:e of the rest of the :‘:;mlr’ 'l’n:: e greatest country sun_ev shone on and if you didn’t belleve it, you wouldn't be . It is up to us to see that the government we repre- sent and the nation we love shall be sustained and never allowed to perish from the earth.” ~He closed amidst great applause, The Land We Left. After The Star, Spangled Banner had been finely sung’ by Archibald P. Mc- Dougall, the entire gathering rising and Joining ‘in the chorus, James Hender- son proposed a toast to The Land We Left, and the response was made by Currie Gilmour. It was a masterly ef- fort and one which was received with an outburst of applause, the speaker being interrupted several times. He referred to Scotland maintaining its political institutions and its religious freedom and made reference to the highmindedness of the people as well as their tender heartedness. They are also clear-minded, as shown in poetry, philosophy and fiction. He referred o the love for the native land and pick- ed out four prominent Scotchmen who have goue up the ladder of fame, ex: pressing the standard characteristics Of the people. They are John Knox, Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and James Watt, all of whom had a djs- tinctiveness in_their line of work and @ worldwide prominence. At the close of Mr. Gllmour's ad- dress Hugh Kinder enthused the as- sembly with his beautifully rendered solo, Scotland Yet, and they would have liked an encore. Professor White accompanied. Raymond B. Eldred in his violin solo, Annie Laurie, with accompani- ment by Miss Eldred, captivated the gathering and a repetition was de- manded and finely given. Music and dancing was the feature of the remainder of the observance, it being ocarried out as follows: Chorus, ‘Scott’s Wha Hae,” double_quartette, John McDougall, A. P. McDougall, James Hollin, Reid Mcintyre, James Henderson, A. R. Blackledge, F. S. Brown and A. Mitchell, 4th: solo, Star of Glengarry, John McDougall; Tewa- ing, Mr. Lindsay: song, March of the Cameron Men, Hugh Kinder: violin solo, Humoresque, by Dvorak, R. B. Eldred; song, Where Has Scotiand Found ' Her Hame, A. P. McDougall; song, Flow Gently, Sweet Avon, Arthur T. Blackledge; chorus. Bonnie Doon, double quartette. The programme gosed with the singing of Auld Luns yne. The Highland fing was danced to the enjoyment of all by E. McLelland of this city, son of Senator McLelland, and he recéived an enthusiastic encore. the music being by Piper McKay. He was attired in Scottish costume. During the serving of the banquet the bringing in of the haggis, an old Scotch pudding, was accompanied by unusual demonstration. Piper MeKay marched about the hall, followed by R. MeLelland carrying the haggis over his head, and placing it before Mr. Lindsay, who recited a poem upon it. It was ‘then served and all had a chance to taste it, some of the Scotch- men, even, for the first time. At the front end of the large dining hall had been hung for the occasion a framed picture of Robert Burns, and above it were the American ang Scotch flags. The committee which made the ar- rangements for this gathering consist- ed of H. D. Mitchell, Reid McIntyre and James Hollls. There can be no doubt as to its success and it is prob- able that it will be continued from year to year hereafter on Jan.
