Scottish music was admirably rendered by the Stoneyburn Male Voice Choir. The pipe-band also gave selections of stirring Scottish airs, which were thoroughly enjoyed by the visitors. VISIT TO EAST LOTHIAN. The delegates who waited over the week-end were entertained on Sunday to a motor drive to Bolton, Haddington, and North Berwick, passing on their way through charming rural scenery. At Bolton, where Burns's mother, his brother Gilbert, and one of his sisters are buried, service was held in the Parish Church. The Rev. J. G. G. Nicolson, minister of Saltoun, who conducted the service, gave a short impressive address in which he spoke of the local Burns associations. On the way to Haddington the site of the old home of Gilbert Burns was passed at Grant's Braes. At Haddington the company visited the beautiful old Parish Church in which Gilbert Burns was an elder, and in the ruined choir of which lie the remains of Jane Welsh Carlyle. Leaving the birthplace of John Knox, the delegates then drove along the Tyne Valley to Tyninghame, and passed Whitekirk and Tantallon Castle. Tea was served at North Berwick, and on the motion of Mr. Jeffrey Hunter the thanks of the company were given to Sir Joseph and Lady Dobbie for their assiduous attention to the comforts of the delegates. Major Innes paid a similar compliment to the Edinburgh Association; and he was followed by Mr. Amos, who thanked the local Secretaries, Messrs. Robertson and Grant M'Laren, for all the time they had so willingly spent in order to organise and carry out so smoothly and successfully such a great undertaking. THOS. AMOS, Hon.
