of Glasgow, and thereafter in eloquent terms proposed the toast of "The Burns Federation," which was ably acknowledged by Mr M'Naught. Provost Smith, Kilmarnock, proposed "The Corporation of Glasgow," to which the Chairman briefly replied. The company was thereafter shown through the Municipal Buildings and photographed in the quadrangle. The delegates were then conveyed in private Corporation cars through the west-end of Glasgow and back to the National Exhibition. The expense of this, as well as the entrance fee to the Exhibition, was generously defrayed by the Burns Clubs of Glasgow and District. The delegates met in the Historical Section of the Exhibition, which had been reserved for them, and Mr M'Naught gave an interesting description of the Burns portraits and some of the other exhibits in the Burns section. The delegates were afterwards entertained to high tea in the Atholl Restaurant by the local Burns Clubs. Ex-Provost Wilson, Pollokshaws, presided over a large gathering, and in the course of the proceedings several toasts were proposed and honoured. On the evening previous to the meeting a most successful smoking concert was held in Sloan's Arcade Café under the auspices of the Glasgow and District Burns Clubs, who entertained all the delegates from a distance. Under the genial chairmanship of Mr M'Coll an excellent programme was submitted to a most enthusiastic audience, which filled two large halls. The whole proceedings in connection with the Conference were most orderly, well-arranged, and enjoyable, and the thanks of the delegates are due to the Corporation of Glasgow and to the Glasgow and District Burns Clubs for their most generous hospitality. The whole of the local arrangements were admirably carried out by a willing band of workers, with Mr M'Coll as chairman and Mr Jeffrey Hunter as secretary. The Glasgow Conference will certainly rank as the best of the meetings held by the Federation. THOMAS AMOS, Hon Secy.
