PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. ^-'3 of the , followed by the wit and eloquence of the most gifted speakers, and which from the first association of Scotchmen in Prince Edward Island was an almost annual, was at length superseded by the social. The social, as it is called, af¬ fords the opportunity "to trip the light fan¬ tastic" and no wit, no eloquence can with¬ stand the fascination of the mazy dance. The Summerside Tourist Association invited the club to hold the field sports of 1904 in Summerside . The association had arranged a series of festivals or entertain¬ ments to continue for two weeks. Wednes¬ day, July 20th, was selected by the club and the gathering, as it has always been in ¬ merside, was quite successful. At the regu¬ lar monthly meeting in October of this year, the club appointed a committee of seven members to present an address to the Hon . D. A. McKinnon , one of our clansmen, on his appointment as Lieutenant Governor of this Province. The Charlottetown Tourist and Develop¬ ment Association, organized for the pur¬ pose of inducing tourists to visit the Island, solicited the co-operation of the club in the "Home Week" entertainments. The games or field sports were accordingly held in Charlottetown on the Wednesday of that week, and the net proceeds of the games were handed over to the Tourist Associa¬ tion. At the regular meeting of the month of February, 1906, a resolution was passed congratulating three of its members for their success in securing their election to the city council during the late civic elec¬ tions, namely: Mayor Paton and Council¬ lors Colonel Stewart and MacDonald. The most important events in the his¬ tory of the club since its organization in 1864 are related in this sketch. How well it has fulfilled its purpose may be learned, even from this brief relation. That it has done much to preserve here in this prov¬ ince the games of the motherland, the an¬ nual recurring field sports can testify; that it has created a taste for the poetry and music of "Auld Scotia" may be learned from the popularity of the Burns concerts; and that the history of' Scotland is not forgot¬ ten is manifest in the addresses at the St Andrew's dinners. Its yearly grants to aid the poor, irrespective of nationality and re¬ ligion, and its kindly feeling towards other national associations, show that it is doing its part in bringing about that good time. the dawn of which may lie discerned in the distance, when "Man to man, the world o'er Shall brlthera be for a* that" Officers and Members, 1906—Chief, Al¬ exander McDonald, Railway ; president, James Paton , mayor of Charlottetown ; first vice-president, James Calder ; second vice-president, Archibald McKay ; treasurer, John McEachern ; finan¬ cial secretary, John McSwain ; recording secretary, D.
