DONALD DINNIE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir, —I was very much disgusted to-night to see the meagre reception accorded to our respected countryman, Donald Dinnie, at the hands of the Christchurch Caledonians. After distinguishing himself in the Highlands, where he won the reputation of champion athlete ot the Old Country, he journeyed afield, and proved himself the champion of the world in athletic feats. Now that his days for athletic contest); are over, and he is travelling with a variety company for a livelihood, I think the least his countrymen could do would be to give the man who has upheld the honour of the Highlands and Scotland generally some slight recognition of his merit. Instead of this, I regret to say, the Caledonians of Christchurch were conspicuous to-nignt by their absence. —Yours, tec, True Caledonian.
