931 - L Dec. 1:4/4, 5 - The St. Andrew's society celebrated its 19th
anniversary last night, at Chapin's hall. The festival was largely
attended, and the hall was decorated with banners and flags. The banquet
was prepared by S. W. Garrett. Mr. Denham, president of the society,
called the assembly to order.
A toast, "Scotland and America, our native and adopted Homes," was
responded to by Mr. McReynolds in a pithy, ringing speech. He said that
Scotchmen came to this country from choice, not from necessity. He
boasted that half the blood in his veins was Scotch, but he was called
an Irishman because he was born in Ireland. Another toast, "Cleveland
with its Mayor and Authorities," was responded to by the band, which
rendered "Home, Sweet Home." John Proudfoot then read a capital metri-
cal report of the society for 1864. (25)
