Of course, it did not fail to include the traditional haggis, which was piped in with customary corė. mony, the piper leading the way, followed by the bearers of the haggis and the barley bree, which was issued according to traffi- tlonal custom.

The Company, said Mr. Fergu- son was dear indeed to the Scot tish community. They liked to ace the Company on review, and the sight of the kilt on such, oc- casions was indeed one to glad- den their hearts. It was a real pleasure to see them.

When their Scottish battalion. the R.O.S.B.. left, said Mr. Fer- guson, the Company would stand even greater in the eyes of the community, as they would then be the only Scottish unit in the Colony.. More recruita

would compensate for the removal of the 'KOS.B. from the Colony. The

Lottish nation, he anid, had al- ways been in the forefront during wars of every kind, and he hoped to see the fine spirit of the nation kept up.

Major Crake's Speech.

In a soldier-like speech, Major Crake pointed out that the regular army to-day was fading away. This was so, he said, after every war. People could trace events away back to the Napoleonic wars, the South African, and ether wars, to find the pld statement that the army was expensive and use- leas, and must be cut down.

The K.O.S.B., said Lieut Forsyth, had proved good friends to the Company. It had been a privilege to train with such a fine regiment. Once they had even fir ed against them on the range, and had not done so badly. At all

Thus it came about that, for events, said the speaker, the Com- Empire defence to-day, greater re- pany could always claim the disliance than ever, was placed upon tinetion of having mounted guard the Volunteer and Territorial for- with the K.O.S.B. at Edinburghces.
