CALEDONIAN DANCE

CAMPBELL EVENING SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE A very successful evening was put on by the Campbell Clan of the Young Caledonians in the Caledonian Hall on Saturday. Admittance was by invitation and there was a good crowd present. Horry Waite at the piano was ably assisted by willing helpers on the drunks. The evening commenced with the piping in of Geo.

As an encore number he chose “Forty-Two Shillings a Bottle.” The audience was invited to join in the chorus and this they did. . The O’Rourke brothers gave two numbers, “Story of Two Cigarettes” and “I Love You.”
