FAMOUS SCOTTISH FAMILY The late Colonel A. H. Far- quharson of Invercauld was more than the head of a famous Scot- tish family. He was a distinguish ed cavalry officer and essentially a man of the world. His tubbying to

gure and his jovial personality will be very much missed.

Invercauld is

one of the celebrated shootings in Scotland and has been let to many distin- guished people, including the late Lord Beatty.

King George shot there many times. So did King -Edward VII. The proximity, of Invercauld to Balmoral has given rise to the Jest that the rent de- manded for Invercauld includes £100 for the house, £1000 for the shooting, and £1000 for Balmoral. Farquharson of Invercauld Is a great name In Scoutish history The Farquharsons were Jacobites, and it was from Invercauld that the Earl of Mar called out the clans In 1715

A STAGE ARMY

One of the best known soldiers | in the family was a woman, "Co- lonel Anne" wife of the Mackin tosh of Mackintosh, who, with ive retainers, routed an entire govern- ment regiment in 1746.

It had come to arrest Bonnie Prince Charlle, who was her guest. almost unprotected, at Moy Hall. The retainers made such a nolaA with their shoutings and shootings that the chemy mistook them for the entire Jacobite army, and fled.

The difference arises in another

Arsenal are such direction. popular side that even when they have to play a mid-week League match away from home the atten- | dance is usually so big that they have scarcely any compensation to pay. The 38.000 at their match at Manchester last Wednesday was above the average for the ground this season. The average is taken Into account in assessing compen- sation to be paid to à club which loses a Saturday game because of a Cup-tle."

Arsenal have already made about £9000 clear profit out of the Cup: it is doubtful whether Grimsby made a penny.'

In view of the general terest which ho been aroused, not only in the Clan MacLeod case, as to the possi blitles of women becoming clan chiefs the MacLeod Society's view are eagerly awaited.

DAUGHTER'S POSITION When Sir Reginald MacLeod of MacLeod, 27th Chief of Clan Mac- Leod died last August and the Dunvegan estates were left to his daughter, Flora, Mrs. MacLeod of MacLeod, who has taken a parti- cularly deep interest in the clan's affairs, there was a widespread feeling that the mantle of chief- ship should tall on her shoulders. The problem of whether or not chiefship could only be held by an hetr-male may have been cased lor the, committee by the fact or an Australian claimant, stated to be a descendant of the MacLeod of Talisker, intimating that he had no desire to take steps to establish his clan.
