WANGANUI CALEDONIAN SOCIETY.
Fifteenth Annual Gathering. The above gathering was held on Saturday last on Victoria Park (Kaiherau). The spectators appeared happy and to thoroughly enjoy the outing. Not a hitch was made—punctuality was the order of the day, the events being got off to time, a rather unusual occurence. No accidents of a serious nature happened to mar the proceedings, but a few of the bykists bit the dust. The attendance was up to the usual standard and about /90 taken at the gates. The racing all round was fair, and some rattling finishes were made. The bagpipes were there in profusion; the dancing was all that could be desired, especially that of a little girl, about nine years of age, who was deservedly applauded. The ground was in excellent order as was proved by . the congratulatory remarks of the competitors. We were pleased to notice a couple of natives competing; this is as it should be, as it bears to strengthen the ties of good feeling and harmony now existing between the two races.
