SCOTTISH LETTER, HIGHLAND GATHERING ON

DEESIDE

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]' ..

EDINBURGH, September 14th. "Highland games have only a casual relationship with the athletic enrnivals of the South. There is, of course, foot- racing, jumping, and pole vaulting, but they are merely auxiliaries, Agather, ing is mainly a demonstration of brawn and muscles, and harmer-throwers,

* stone-patters, and cabor-tossers are the heroes of the field. To get the full Bavour of such meetings, it is necessary to go North, and witness them in their native environment, by preference on Deeside. AL Aboyne and Braemar Aboyne. perhaps, is the better athletic display, Braemar, is more important, us & society spectacæ, This year, to the absence of the King and Queen, Braemar Gathering, was shorn of its usual eclat; but the Prince of Wales occupied the ebiet pasition, receiving the salutes of the clans, and was assisted by the Dre of York and Prince Henry, The muster of the elans used to supply the domin adt feature at Braemar, and tradition persists that clan demonstration is still its raison d'etre: ..But that claim is scarcely tenable. The explanation is that the valleys of Deeside, like tha, rest of the Highlands, are less rich in the human stock from whence the clansmen sprung Now-a-days the real significance of the Gathering lies not in a picturesque display of clan fealty, but in the holiday. hounge of all ranks of people, pria- cipally from a distaner, to the Crown and the Throne.

The kilt is de riguer for the Highland athlete, and sartoriarly the games on Deeside are a tartan festival. Piping and dancing are prominent on the pro grammes, and while the athletes are Throwing the hammer and tossing the enber, the platform in the centre of the feld is occupied by pipers and dancers. It is in these that the really grave note of a Highland Gathering finds expres vion. In the realm of music there is probably nothing more intensely serious than a bagpipe competition. And the gravity of the judges of Highland music surpasses the gravity of the judicial bench with a murder trial ir progres. On the village green of Aboyne, or far- ther up the Dee at Braemar, the judges discharge their duties with solemn dig- nity, and listen with understanding carf to laments, reels and strathspers, but even the liveliest strains do not affect their stern demeanour. The judges are not concerned with the emotions of the music, but with its aesthetics. It re- quires a trained ear to appreciate the subtler qualities of the music of the pipes, yet even untutored spectators can always find interest in the department. of pipers and dancers. These performers.

and while they pipe or dance the medals dangle aggressively. The dancer's steps are no doubt inspired by the music, but are also influenced by the garb be wears. Tho kilt, seems, inevitably to con tribute to pride of deportment; its wearer, whether piper or dancer, seems instinctively to emulate the pride of the peacock. That is always abundantly evident on Deeside; but is it not also witnessed in the piper who, in frayed tartan and bagpipes" with leaking chan-
