Aikman-Smith, Scottish representative on the International Board, toasted Mi* E. G. Shaw, manager of the Waratahs, who had fired him with a desire to visit New South Wales. The dinner was most enjoyable, Lawton commandeering the bagpipes and playing round the banquet hall, Wallace following, carrying a dish of haggis,—A. and N.Z.
