THE CANADIAN "KILTIES."

NEXT MONDAY AFTERNOON AND

EVENING.

That the "Kilties," the world-renown-ed Scottish-Canadian Band is a musical triumph in itself, is shown by the fact that it is now in its eighth year of consecutive touring. In Great Britain, their triumphant orogress has never been equalled. Canada, United States and Mexico have all been visited by the "Kilties" and have all done homage to them. Their bright uniforms, the sturdy figures, the magnificent choir of 16 voices, and the troupe of Scottish pipers and dancers all make an unique and enjoyable organisation. It is to be congratulated upon the fact that the itinerary of this band includes this town, and those who hear it will listen to a musical organisation that is acknowledged to be second to none in the world. The "Kilties" put into their musical work all the brilliancy of their costumes, the spirit and verve of their native training and blood, with the result that they win their audiences at once, and one never leaves a "Kilties" conrert until the final note of the last number is played. The local Scotch Societies and bands are combining to give the "Kilties" a suitable reception.
