'St. Andrew's Day, 1900, was celebrated' by a Ball, which in every respect was an unqualified success. This was no doubt in a large measure due to the efforts of your energetic and inde. fatigable President, the genial James McKies who, let us hope, is now enjoying a well-earned respite from business on his native heath (applause).

The tide was rather against it too, and some of the competitors drifted back two or three feet before they babbed up. Others were drified right round, so that their feet were towards the winning post. Hun- phreys proved an easy winner, covering 55 ft. 6in. by a very clean plunge.
