DARGAVILLE INGLESIDE
CEREMONY OF SERVING HAGGIS The Hon. Jas. Craigie, M.L.C., was a visitor to Dargaville during the latter part of last week. Ori Friday evening he attended tlie first Ingleside of the 1929 season of the Northern Wairoa Scottish Society. The evening was devoted to what might be termed a "Burns Night.” Mr. Craigie delighted the audience with a short address on the early life of Burns, in which he refuted the idea chat Burns was uneducated and had died as the result of excesses. Many of those present were treated to a novelty in the form of a real Scots Haggis. After Mr. Alex. Barlass had convinced those who were about to sample it for the first time that it was quite edible, the haggis was served with true ceremonial. Pipe-Major Rae preceded it, playing the pipes, and was followed by Chieftain "Sandy” Danks bearing the haggis on a dish, after which it was deposited on a table, and Mr. Barlass recited the haggis grace, and proceeded to carve it.
