accept the offering. We were nearest the top of the room, and ours was,
therefore, the last gift to be received. Her Majesty was in quite a
flutter of pleasurable excitement and beaming with smiles. As the
President showed a few pages of our album, “I shall look over it,” said
the Queen, “very carefully, and not in a hurry.” Then she bowed to each
of us, and we felt happy.

ART CLUB COSTUME BALL
UNTIL Friday, 29th of November, 1889, nothing so good of the kind had
been seen in Glasgow. The destination of the proceeds was the Scottish
Artists’ Benevolent Fund, which had been formed in the previous
February, and which benefited to the extent of over £1300. In other ways
besides financially the ball was a great success, and had some purely
artistic features, such as the grand procession and tableau, the series
of dance programmes painted by members of the Art Club and hung up for
reference, also the sketches from life done in the “Studio” and
afterwards sold by auction along with the programmes for the benefit of
the fund.
The _Lillie_ here represented was Mrs. Langtry, who attracted
considerable notice, as one sees from the eyes following her; and the
_African_ _Lion_, in Moorish costume, was that amiable and distinguished
young traveller, Joseph Thomson, whose too early death took place not
many years after.

TABLEAUX IN REHEARSAL
THE entertainment in the Theatre Royal, for which this was a
preparation, a year later than the event last mentioned, had for its
object the benefit of the same Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association.
The Pen-and-Pencil Club and the Glasgow Society of Musicians furnished
the human material, which was shaped by Mr. William Glover into such
picturesque groups as “The Judgment of Paris,” “Cleopatra before Cæsar,”
“Finding the Body of Harold,” “Escape of Prince Charlie,” “Burns and
Highland Mary,” and “Tam-o’-Shanter.” Another feature of the evening was
a humorous toy symphony of Mr. Allan Macbeth’s, the orchestra being clad
in more or less inappropriate costume.

A BERLIOZ CONCERT
A PERFORMANCE in January 1885 of Berlioz’s “Messe des Morts,” which
demanded a considerable addition to the drums, and gave Sir August Manns
(as he is now) great scope for his unrivalled power as a conductor.

A MACKENZIE ORATORIO
AT the first of the season 1885-6, Sir A. Mackenzie conducted his
oratorio “The Rose of Sharon,” the instrumentation of which the musical
critic of _Quiz_ declares to be its strong point, and ranking with that
of any living master. He says also that the choral work is throughout
scholarly and original, and free from that slavish imitation of
Mendelssohn so much affected by recent writers.

DRAMATIC AMATEURS OF THE 5TH L.R.V.
A CLEVER performance (December 1885) in the Crown Halls, of two
well-known pieces, in both of which Miss Catherine Watson scored the
chief success among the ladies. The acting of Captain Harry MacDowall
and Captain F. L. Morrison is also memorable.

THE Dramatic Critic of _Quiz_ speaks in the highest praise of this
performance, given in the Queen’s Rooms in March 1886, and as he must
have seen the piece played many times he is qualified to speak, but so
far as I am aware none of the players was on that account tempted to go
on the professional boards.
An event of the same evening is also here portrayed, the Ball of the
Queen’s Own Yeomanry. That is Colonel Neilson in the corner proposing
“The Queen.”

THIS club gave an excellent rendering of _Dorothy_ at the Queen’s Rooms
in April 1888, almost entirely free from any amateur weakness, and
noteworthy for the performance of the young ladies, “Dorothy,” Miss
Eugenie Smyth, and “Lydia,” Miss Broadfoot, but especially for the
capital acting of Mr. J. W. Watson as “Lurcher.” Besides the names
appended to the sketches, the following are mentioned in the _Town

Helena Donald; at the harmonium, Mr. Rowland Wood; first violin, Mr. W.

A VOLUNTEER BAZAAR
THE 3rd L.R.V. and their lady friends had three days of amateur
shop-keeping with surroundings of a Chinese character in St. Andrews
Halls, October 1884. The dresses of the ladies looked smart, some
military, some naval and some Swiss or otherwise equally effective
national costume. The object of the bazaar was, if I remember rightly, a
Drill Hall, and it was entirely successful.

A GATHERING OF THE 1ST L.R.V.
THIS must have been a heavy evening’s work, in St. Andrews Halls,
December 1884. First of all there was a prize distribution by Colonel
Gildea, then a concert by the Regimental Glee Club, under Captain
McNabb, then an inspection of the prizes in the Berkeley Hall, followed
by a dance till the small hours. Plenteous refreshment no doubt came in
somewhere to sustain us through it all, but I find no note of it
anywhere.

W.S.R.A., Captain MacDowall and Mr. J. A. Aitken.

A BOYS’ BRIGADE INSPECTION
THE Parade Ground was Burnbank, the day the spring holiday of 1886,
rather more than two years after the formation of the first company of
the Boys’ Brigade, which, as everybody knows, owes its origin to Captain
W. A. Smith of the 1st L.R.V. Its admirable organisation making it at
once successful in Glasgow, led to the formation of companies all over
Great Britain and Ireland and in the Britains beyond the seas. This was
probably the earliest Battalion Parade. The Inspecting Officer was
Colonel J. Newbigging Smith of the 1st L.R.V., in which regiment the
Brigade President, Mr. J. Carfrae Alston, was at one time an officer.
The Church Parade took place in the Queen’s Rooms, where the boys were
addressed by the Rev. Dr. Marcus Dods, the most stimulating preacher
that could possibly have been chosen to arouse the interest of the
youngsters.

ON BOARD THE _DRAKE_
H.M.S. _Drake_ lay between the Suspension Bridge and Broomielaw Bridge.
She had once been of more imposing appearance, but her days of
usefulness were not yet over, for she served as the home of the local
detachment of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, who are here
represented at gun-drill.
The R.N.A.V. flamed with enthusiasm for some years and were then
supposed to be extinguished, but not long ago the extinguisher has been
lifted, and the Naval Volunteer spark is found to be unquenched.

WEST OF SCOTLAND SPORTS
IT used to be the correct thing, and I daresay it is so still, for every
self-respecting young man and maiden of the West-end to go to Hamilton
Crescent Grounds for this spring meeting. The less interested the young
man and maiden were in the sports, the better they were pleased, and if
they hadn’t a real lack of interest they assumed it. There must have
been a few unaffected enthusiasts who stood round the ropes and watched
the events eagerly, from the jumping competitions to the obstacle race
and the tug-of-war. I cannot claim to have been one of these, and it may
be observed that in this sketch the sports are got over in a
disgracefully slipshod fashion, while the pencil has been busy with
characteristic individuals in the general crowd of easy-going
promenaders.
[Illustration]
FOOTBALL
NOW here you find spectators who are enthusiastic watchers of the game,
genuinely interested in every kick and dribble, breathless when the ball
is making for the goal, gasping when it misses, and hysterical when it
passes through--moved either to great grief or great joy, according to
the party spirit that animates the watcher. This particular game was the
Charity Cup-Tie, Queen’s Park _v._ 3rd L.R.V., played at Cathkin Park,
26th of April, 1884.

HIGHLAND SPORTS
THESE were at Burnbank on 13th of September, 1884. They are of a highly
national character, with kilts and sporrans and pipes and a real
interest in the feats of strength and skill displayed.
The sketches seem to make an attempt to deal with the nominal purpose of
the meeting, and the spectators depicted are not inattentive.

CRICKET
THE match was between the Marylebone and the West of Scotland Clubs in
July 1885.
There are few things from which I would sooner stay away than from a
cricket match. I don’t know anything of the game, but I turn to the
paragraph in _Quiz_ dealing with this match and can therefore say that
the West made a good stand against the Marylebone, and did better than
most people expected; also that the match ended in a draw, the Scotch
team wanting 160 runs with seven wickets to fall.

WESTERN BATHS
THIS was not an inauguration, only a re-opening (1886). A chill October
evening outside; lots of people crowded on the banks of the pond and in
the galleries above making it a warm evening within; plenty of fun in
watching the expert swimmers, good music conducted by Mr. Cole, and a
little dance to follow.

WELLCROFT BOWLING-GREEN
TO those who are arrived at that time of life when violent athletics
become a burden, bowling affords a mild and agreeable substitute that
may be taken easily or arduously according to the disposition of the
individual. It is a pleasing game to watch--the careful aim, the knowing
twist given the ball at the outset of its career, the eager player
following it with his eyes or with his whole running body till the
journey is accomplished, and the look of dismay or exultation inspired
by the degree of success attained.
The unaccustomed bowler has a tendency to tear up the green, and nothing
causes a real bowler to frown more than this treatment of his beloved
turf. It ranks as an unpardonable sin with cutting the cloth of a
billiard-table.

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES’ DEMONSTRATION
THIS was in July 1887. There must be a rapture in demonstrating,
especially if the day be fine, and there must be something abundantly
satisfying in wearing the distinctive toggery of one’s order. As for the
banner-bearers, theirs is a quite fearful joy. I have never
ascertained--indeed I have never asked--whether a brother is made a
banner-bearer for reasons complimentary or punitive.

A PATRIOTIC DINNER
ST. ANDREW’S Day 1884, falling on a Sunday, the Glasgow St. Andrew’s
Society dined on December 1st. The gathering in McLean’s Hotel was
presided over by Colonel Malcolm of Poltalloch, then an ex-M.P.,
afterwards for six years member for Argyllshire, and later raised to the
peerage.
Sheriff Clark’s speech was distinguished by some old Glasgow
reminiscences, and I remember that Dr. Burns of the Cathedral referred
to St. Mungo as “my predecessor.” Bailie Salmond, who figured there as a
croupier, and who had the reputation along with Sir Daniel Macnee of
being one of the best after-dinner story-tellers, was probably the
Senior of the feast.

A COUNTY ASSOCIATION SOIRÉE
THIS form of entertainment may be still as much in vogue as it used to
be in unfashionable circles of Glasgow. These meetings were productive
of a good deal of genuine happiness, the tea and the cookies and the
service of fruit and the speeches and the songs--especially the
“comics”--and the assembly that followed, making up an evening’s
festivity that was not forgotten by the time the annual repetition of
the event came round again.
The festival here pictured, that of the Caithness Association, was of
rather more than usual importance, being a Jubilee celebration. It was
presided over by Mr. W. C. Coghill, and among the speakers was Mr. John
Rae, at that time editor of the _Contemporary Review._

A COUNTY SOCIETY DINNER
MORE circumscribed in its immediate sphere of influence than the
all-embracing soirée just referred to, the dinner has a dignity and
importance that demand recognition.
The Glasgow Ayrshire Society was founded only two years after the birth
of Robert Burns, so its primary object was not to keep his memory green,
but appropriately enough the men of Ayrshire in Glasgow choose his
birthday for their feast. The dinner of 1890 was held in St. Enoch’s
Hotel, under the presidency of Mr. J. G. A. Baird, M.P., and the
“Immortal Memory” was proposed by Mr. William Jolly.

AN ENGINEER’S ANNIVERSARY
UNTIL the year 1888 the celebration of James Watt’s birthday on the 21st
of January seems to have been the sole reason of existence for the
Association of Foreman Engineers, but on the occasion here recorded the
Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland and the
Philosophical Society of Glasgow joined and resolved to combine in
keeping the future anniversaries so that the Association of Foreman
Engineers dropped out of existence.
The dinner took place in the Grand Hotel with Mr. Kirk of Napier’s in
the chair. There was a large company, and among the unnamed heads in the
corner of the sketch may be recognised some familiar in the engineering
world, that of Mr. James Caldwell and Mr. John Hamilton, for instance,
while in the other corner, among the “Press,” I may point out Mr. James
Nicol Dunn--then on the Glasgow staff of the _Scotsman_--referred to in
an introductory page.

the shows of the variety sale-shop order, the place to spend a happy
evening and as many coins as you could spare besides. The collection was
formally opened by Sir James King, and the first week’s proceeds were
handed over to the City hospitals.

new premises in St. George’s Place on the 25th of January, 1888. On that
evening the learned and patriotic Marquess of Bute delivered an able
address on Scottish History to a large audience, and among the shorter
speeches was one by Sheriff Spens on his favourite literary
subject--Tennyson.

Glasgow University--to Govan and to Glasgow. It was a great day for
Govan, the 27th of June, 1885, and you can imagine the excitement of
that Saturday afternoon.
It was here I overheard the remark illustrated on a later page of this
