A grand celebration, consisting of a concert, banquet and dance, was given in Sheill & Erickson's hall and hotel at Uameill Monday night in honor of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Hobert II it r n s—"Scotia's Ploughman Hard." This Is the third annual celebration of this nature giv en by the Scotch residents of Garneill and vicinity, and each meeting has excelled its predecessor to such an extent that the last would have done honor to any community of that ster ling nationality. Over 400 people attended the affair, and when the concert commenced at 8:30 only standing room was avail able in the hall. Hon. David Hilger of Lewistown, who was selected as chairman and toastmaster, opened the evening's enjoyment by introduc ing D. K. Anderson, the piper of the evening, who rendered several bag pipe selections which were enthusias tically greeted by the audience. Mr. Anderson is a piper of considerable renown, having among his many medals one received from Queen Vic toria. before whom he has played. The chairman then gave a titting address of welcome and made a few appropriate remarks, wherein he men tioned the great fame attained by Hums as a literary genius in the Scotch dialect, and the fact that many of the world's leaders have pointed to their Scotch ancestry with pride. Mr. Ililger is a genial, affable chair man and kept the throng in good humor throughout the evening. It is said that he has stated that he is not a Scotchman by birth, but is by mar riage. "Sound the Pibroch" was then sung by Neil L. McLardy, an artist in Scotch dialect and dances. Mr. Mc Lardy rendered the song with such feeling that a hearty applause follow ed, and he sang beautifully "Ah! Sing to Me the Auld Scotch Songs" as an encore. He has a stitnig bari tone voice, and is acknowledged as one of the best soloists in the north west. The management was indeed fortunate in securing such a capable gentleman as Mr. McLardy, who comes from Hutte. Miss Gracie Sheill then sang "Hlue Hells of Scotland" in such an effec tive manner with her childish, but clear voice, that the appreciation of the audience was strongly evinced by applause. The Misses Sheill and Neill follow ed with a "Threesome Heel," which was greatly enjoyed by all. Sam Teagarden of the Lewistown Daily News, then delivered an ora tion on Hums. Mr. Teagarden, who had but short notice to prepare for the occasion, having been requested to act in the absence of Tom Stout, who was unable to attend, certainly did remarkably well. In his clear, forceful manner, he started with the humble birth of Hums, how the fu ture author struggled with his father to keep the wolf from the door, and, after he commenced writing his musi cal poems, how they swept with popu lar favor the entire English speaking world. He further spoke of Hums as a songster of the home and lireside, and of the tender sentiments con tained in all his works. Mr. Tea garden delivered a masterful oration, showing himself to he a speaker of merit, and was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his address. The seventh number on the pro gram was a "Highland Fling," danc ed by the Misses Maude and Nettie Sheill, in full Highland costumes with bagpipe accompaniment. The Misses Sheill are probably unequalled by any young ladies in the northwest in dancing this favorite Scotch dance, and were called back by a hearty ap plause. John Hoss then sang a comic song. Mr. Hoss is no stranger in this neigh borhood and neither is be a novice at singing comic songs. A reading, "Howl About," was then given by Mr. McLardy. His rendi tion of this famous poem caused much merriment throughout the aud ience, and was greeted by loud ap plause. Mrs. K. G. Sheill then sang "Hon nie Doou" in a very pleasing manner, ! and the persistent applause brought back this lady and Mr. McLardy, j who sang "Hunting Tower," a very effective duet, and rendered by them in a most pathetic manner. The "Highland Fling" was next danced by Mr. McLardy, who is the champion dancer of Ireland, Scotland and the northwest. His dancing sure ly borders on the marvelous. Dan MacKay then effectually de livered a reading entitled "Hums' Address to a Daisie." A hearty ap plause followed his conclusion. "Tam o' Shanter," a pianoforte selection, was next rendered by Miss Helen Tenney, who played this classic in a masterly manner. Her expres sion and technic were perfect, and the conclusion of the rendition was greeted by applause from all. Mr. McLardy followed with a song, "The Star o' Robbie Hums." He answered with "Hums and Tanne', hill" as an encore. D. K. Anderson then played a bag pipe selection, "March Strathspey and Heel." Another comic song entitle«! "I Live a Lassie" was pleasingly sung by Mr. Hoss. "Tickling Jock" was sung as an encore. Miss Maude Sheill then sung in a pathetic manner "Ma Ain Folk." Of course she received a general applause and answered with "('nming Through the Rye" as an encore. Mr. McLardy danced the "Sword Dance" and answe ed with a "Sailor's Hornpipe" in full sailor's garb. The concert was concluded with votes of thanks bv K. G. Sheill, and the singing of "Anld Lang Syne" bv the company and the audience. Mr. Sheill concluded his talk with the statenitmt that because of the greatly increasing crowds gathering each year to pay homage to the birthday of Hums, that the celebration would in the future be held at Lewistown. The piano accompaniments for all the songs were played by Miss Helen Tenney, and the Scotch dances were accompaniHl by 1). K. Anderson «in the bagpipe. The seats in the ball were quickly removed and dancing commenced at onCe, the music being furnished by the Garneill orchestra. During the evening several Scotch country dances were given, which were much enjoyed by those participating and watching. At midnight the doors to the ban quet hall were tlirown open ami over three hundred people partook «if the sumptuous supper. Many Scotch dishes had been prepared tiy Mrs. R. G. Sheill, which were relishe«l by all and added much to the occasion to make the hampiet in acconlance with the celebration. The three large heavily laden tables were beautifully deimrated with cut (lowers and Scotch Heather for the center pieces. Among the Scotch dishes were three large haggises, oat meal cakes, several large currant buns, Scotch short bread, scone «rakes and raiseu buns. Many thanks are due Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Sheill for their efforts in mak ing the celebration a success, and especially to Mrs. Sheill for her un tiring work in making costumes and looking after the many details inci dent to a celebration of this extent. Thanks are also due Austin W. Warr, cashier of the Hank of Fergus County at Lewistown, who presented the management with a large and ex cellent Scotch bun cake, which held the place of honor on the largest table, and was wreathed with Scotch Heath er.
