Bootsmen in the North were keenly in terested in the St. Andrew's Concert- arranged by the Tientsin Society last night. The programme, which was typically Scottish, included exhibition reels by a number of young ladies. A special train was put on to convey Peking Scotsmen back to the capital, and those who took advantage of it were able to get home by five o'clock this morning, a fact which shows that the sons of Scotia are as hardy and daring as ever. The proceeds of the concert were devoted to Scottish charities.
