Glasgow, Jan. 12.
Next Saturday is Charities Day. Six thousand University students, all disguised, ascend on the city and literally take possession. They are Jout this year to establish a record in the amount they desire to collect. These students of our University are great fellows in more ways than one when it comes to getting money from the pockets of the citizens. Unless a manor woman has an immunity [badge (this costs a guinea) well he Jor she can be waylaid in public at any hour of the day. Cars, unless showing an immunity badge (this Jcosts the owner a pretty' penny) can [be stopped and boarded and they are, for the students on that day are neither respecters of persons or cars—nor for the matter of that are they of shops or offices. The latter are entered and their customers are aceetunless the shop keepers have made their shops immune by the securing for a considerable sum of the immunity badge. It is really a grand day, most people love it and fspprove of ft, though a few regard vas "a nuisance." ft would be that "ne it were' oftener— but as it only comes the once a year fand it does benefit considerably" the Hospitals—and Charitable Institutions the majority of the city's citizens jaladly pay up and look upon the day fas an anniversary that hes really come to stay.
