Explore "Lines Read at St. Andrew's Anniversary 1868" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The following is a clipping from an old Ingenoll paper on St. Andrew's Anniversary, 30th November, 1868: The Anniversary of Scotia's tetular saint was celebrated on Monday with great éclat by a dinner at Mr. Douglass' Hotel. The spread on the occasion was excellent; not only Scotia's sons, but many who came from merry England and the Green Isle were present. After the cloth had been removed Mr. McIntyre took the chair, and Mr. Sorley the vice chair. Songs, speeches and toasts became the order of the evening. The following original piece was rendered by Mr. McIntyre in good style: --
Scotia's sons to-night we meet thee, / With kindly feelings we do greet thee, / In honor of the land of heather, / Around this board to-night we gather.
