Two national dances to bagpipe inusic by Pipe-Major A. S. Kirkland, the casket reel and the foursome reel, were ineluded in a programme of modern dancing. Old Gaelic songs, "A Ilundred Pipers" and "The Road to the Isles," were sung by Mr. Len Kerr. In welcoming the guests to the first ingleside of the year the chief, Mr. J. S. Wilson, referred to the fine appearance of the society's pipe band in its new uniforms and thanked the people of New Plymouth and Inglewood for their help in providing the funds for their purchase. A suggestion had been made to him that a junior pipe band might be formed, Mr. Wilson said. He spoke in support of the proposal and considered the 4000 Scottish people in the district would be pleased to see a boys' pipe band heading the Boys' Brigade on parade. The haggis was piped in, the ode being recited by Mr. Wilson. Music for dancing was played by Martin's orchestra, and Mr. J. J. Corkill was master oi ceremonies.
