BURNS' NICHT.

HONGKONG SCOTS HONOUR

THE POET.",

MEMORABLE SPEECH.

There was a large gathering of focal Scots at the Volunteer Head- quarters last night, on the vecn- sion of the celebration, under the auspices of the Hongkong Saint Andrew's Society, of Burns Night. An appropriate scheme of de- carried out,

coration had beer with evergreens and bunting, and in the middle of the room àung a big lampshade formed of four Saint Andrew's crosses. For the work done in this direction the in- Saint Andrew's Society are debted to

Duncan, Mr. George O.B.E, who for several years has made himself responsible for de- corative "effects at Scottish celc- brations in Hongkong. At the opposite end of the hall to the main table was a portrait of Ro-) bert Burns, draped with the Scot- tish traditional flag.

At the far end of the hall was the Chieftain's table, at which Mr. D. Templeton, the President of the Saint Andrew's Society, pre- sided.

The menu included raany Seat tish dishes:

Prior to the commencement of the repast, Grace was said by the Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie.

The Haggis Comes in. The bringing in of the haggis followed the time-honoured cus- tom, it being carried in by Mr. A. McLeod, and piped in by Piper Nesbit, H.V.D.C., with Mr. B. Wylie carrying the Barley Bren, which was duly served to the Pre- sident and others at his table, from the qualch, according to the usual ceremonious abservance Piper Brown, H.VD.C., was also in attendance to pipe in the coma pany to dinner,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

I only mention this in passing as we are a modest people and too much given to hiding bu lights. But all the same who is like us? That Burns 'was a true Poet we have the witness of Tennyson who declared there never was immortal Poet if Burna be not one, and of Swinburne and Watson, two Masters of Melody, who have sung of Burns' in lines which stir the blood of every Sretanan. Doubtless you know them, but I may repeat a few verses if only to show how two such masters of words can turn them into music to do honour to

a rival in their own Art.

Then too there is a fine tribute from America by Lowell for Burns' Centenary, which deserves to be better known than it is..

For me to attempt to add to the burning words of these two poets would in the words of Shakes- peare be wasteful and ridiculous excess, But I will venture one remark.

The toast of The King was given by Mr. D. Templeton, and Htër in the evening he called upon Mr. Robert G. Shewan, à past Presi- dent of the Hongkong Saint An- drew's Society, to propose the Im- mortal Memory of Robert Burns. Mr. Shewan spoke eloquently, and the audience were no doubt con- vinced of the truth of the lings, appearing on the menu, "Wha says that Robbie Burns is deid? Wha says he dies below the weed,day.

Gray's line "the curfew tolls the knell of parting day" is fine, but does it come up to the quiet beauty and simplicity of "The wintry,sun Dell last the loans! but they hae the day has closed"? I do not think so. It is the difference be- tween the two

Mr. Shewan's Speech.

The two songs have gone round the world together and into many strange places, but, the one I refer to is buried even deeper in the memory of every Scottish lad from childhood, and wherever he may be his heart will beat and his breast will swell at the first sound of those noble old words.
