The programme was a mighty one of ©4 dances, lunning a long way into the morning and it included three eightsome reels, two foursomes and one Caledonians, all of which were danced with the greatest spirit and, og already stated, in a vastly improved style. Halfway through came the event without which no Caledcmian Ball is complete—the procession of the "great chieftain of the pudding race." Headed by Pipers W. Maclennan, Cookes and Mackay (who did yuoman service throughout the evening, piping during intervals and for the reels) and the drums of the Mhanghai Scottish, the Haggis was Lorne aloft by Mr. Donald kenzie, whilst Mr. H. E. D, Adams carried the "'sauce," My. J. Macbeth the mull and Mr. Q. Ej; M. Thomson the snuff horns. During the march there wags much admiration of the historic regalia of the society. On this occasion, besides the snuff mul] and the horns, there was a silver challenge cup, presented for competitions at golf between St. George's and St. Andrew's Societies. It is this cup which St. Andrew's Society are hoping to win outright on Sunday. Two orchestras were kept busy for the dancing, the Municipal Band occupying a. platform on one side of the hall and the Hayes Bros.' Jazz Band being on the other, the two being under the control of Mr. A. V. Monk.
