A troup of 20 dancers, trained by Mr. W. Boyd, will dance the sword dance, Highland fling and reels, in Highland costume. After the concert is over there will be a dance in the concert chamber, all Scottish and old-time dancing.. The Hon. P. Fraser, Minister of Education, is chairman for the evening. A souvenir programme to celebrate the advent of a Scots Queen to the Throne has been prepared.
