+                               INTRODUCTION
+
+
+HERE is a book about Glasgow; not the Glasgow known to our young friends
+in their teens, or remembered by those in their early twenties, but the
+Glasgow familiar to their fathers and mothers when _they_ were in their
+teens and early twenties. That was away back in the ’eighties, before
+the days of electric light in the streets, electric cars, an intricate
+internal railway system, the new art galleries, and all the other
+improvements of which I--a stranger almost in Glasgow now--am only dimly
+cognisant. We considered Glasgow in those days, as many thousands do
+now, to be a very good place to live in. We had some rather jolly times.
+We took an easy and good-humoured view of things in general; and if the
+pages of this book convey any other impression, then they fail in their
+purpose. The two weekly papers in which the sketches originally appeared
+tried to minister to this easy-going good humour.
+
+One of these papers is dead; let us speak of it respectfully. The other
+was its senior, and is its survivor; let us speak even more respectfully
+of it--the _Bailie_, which, dating from 1872, has for over a generation
+been one of the recognised institutions of Glasgow. It is, and has
+always been, essentially a local journal. Though every now and then
+portraits of personages who are prominent outside Glasgow circles have
+appeared in its pages, it is Glasgow alone that forms the _Bailie’s_
+chief concern. As the experience of three and thirty years has shown,
+the life of Glasgow--municipal, political, social, artistic--abounds in
+ample material for criticism and comment, humorous or otherwise. All
+sorts and conditions of Glasgow folk have, I am told, contributed to the
+_Bailie_--Doctors of Divinity, Doctors of Laws, Doctors of Medicine,
+Members of Parliament, Bailies and Lord Provosts, among others--but the
+anonymity of the contributors has always been preserved, and to that
+anonymity may be ascribed some portion at least of the paper’s success.
+The one individuality that has become known to the citizens in
+connection with the _Bailie_, and whose name I may therefore be
+permitted to mention, is that of John D. Gray, who has occupied the
+position of manager from its origin to the present time. The _Bailie_ at
+its beginning had practically the same modest aspect that it has at
+present. It had fewer pages, and beyond the cartoon portrait of Lord
+Provost James Watson, it had no attempt at illustration. Of the more
+fully illustrated papers of the kind that had been tried in Glasgow,
+_Quiz_ was the only one that had anything like success. It published its
+first number in March 1881, and it lasted, through several changes of
+proprietorship, for about twenty years. Its first editor was William
+Robertson; its dramatic critic John Reid; its business manager Arnot
+Reid. These three friends did the greater part of the writing, both in
+prose and verse, in the earlier years. The design on the cover was by
+Martin Anderson, afterwards widely known as “Cynicus,” who contributed
+many of his quaint conceits to the paper, a later artist contributor
+being Harrington Mann. The great proportion of sketches fell to the lot
+of “Twym,” and it is from these that most of the present selection has
+been made.
+
+William Robertson, after a lingering illness that lasted for more than
+five years, died at his mother’s home in Alva on the 24th December 1889;
+and Arnot Reid, whose connection with _Quiz_ ceased when he went to
+London--and onwards to Singapore, where he edited the _Straits
+Times_--is buried at Tonbridge in Kent, where he died on the 21st July
+1901.
+
+As in the case of the _Bailie_, the writers in _Quiz_ were anonymous.
+The columns of gossip and criticism were signed, but only by pen-names
+that did not reveal the identity of the authors. There is no need now
+for withholding names. I have already mentioned John Reid, who was an
+untiring contributor. His “Chronicle of Small Beer” did not appear in
+_Quiz_, however, and indeed was not written till some time after he had
+stopped writing for the paper. Another writer was James Nicol Dunn,
+lately editor of the _Morning Post_, and now of the _Manchester
+Courier_; while contributions (chiefly poetical) from John Davidson, the
+late Dr. James H. Stoddart, and Sheriff Spens have also appeared in
+_Quiz_. I am speaking, of course, only of the first seven years or so,
+all I can speak of, in the career of _Quiz_. That some of the contents
+of the paper were of more than passing interest may be conceded, as
+several reprints have been made from its pages. We remember the “Martha
+Spreull” of Henry Johnston, the “Law Lyrics” of Robert Bird, and the
+“Sweet Briar” of James Strang, while the dainty “Wayside Vignettes” of
+William Canton are, most of them, to be found in his subsequently
+published volumes of poetry. The drawings of “Cynicus” also have been
+republished in various forms, and two albums of “Twym’s” sketches have
+been issued, 1882 and 1883.
+
+The identity of “Twym” was never much of a secret, I daresay. I used to
+be asked frequently what my pseudonym meant. If there are still any
+friends curious on the point, it may interest them to know that the word
+was only an arbitrary combination of letters, and had no meaning
+whatever.
+
+My last contribution to _Quiz_--the Prince and Princess of Wales at the
+Exhibition--appears in this volume, as does my first contribution to the
+_Bailie_, Lord Lytton at the University. One drawing has not appeared in
+either of these papers. The sketches I made when the Queen visited the
+exhibition were for the _Graphic_, and I have had permission to make use
+of the drawing done at the time from my sketches in making a new page
+for this book.
+
+It would not have occurred to me to drag these sketches from the
+obscurity of the past, were it not that an undoubted authority informed
+me, in a moment of confidence, that a book of this kind would be an
+unquestioned benefit to the men and women of Glasgow and to the
+strangers within their gates. He, in short, commanded their
+re-publication. And so the original proofs were looked out and selected.
+They were also carefully revised, a line being strengthened or added
+here, a line being lessened or eliminated there, and new blocks were
+made on a slightly reduced scale for the purposes of this volume.
+
+When I look over the faces and figures herein revived, and when I
+consider how many of those they are meant to represent have passed away
+for ever, the collection seems a trifle antiquated; but when I remember
+that many of the personages are still living and working, in Glasgow or
+in other parts of the world, some in the enjoyment of higher place and
+power and title, I am disposed to think the subjects quite modern,
+up-to-date, and possessed of sufficient interest to warrant their
+resuscitation.
+
+For the notes that accompany the sketches, I had thoughts of beseeching
+the aid of one or other of my Glasgow literary friends--my old comrade
+of _Quiz_, John Reid, perhaps, or Henry Johnston, or George Eyre-Todd,
+or J. J. Bell, or Neil Munro--or of my wife; but if any of these
+sparkling pens had come into play, where would my sketches have been
+beside their erudite romantic humour? As this book was meant more to be
+looked at than to be read, I thought that those who cared to inspect the
+drawings would not object to have a plain word or two from the man who
+made them, instead of something more brilliant from a real literary
+person.
+
+It is as something of a veteran that I speak in these notes, but I trust
+I am not too garrulous or egotistical. The notes are not meant to
+contain much information, but such as they do contain is, to the best of
+my knowledge, to be depended on.
+
+And now begins the little reminiscent show and the running commentary by
+the showman.

+                           THE FOUNDATION-STONE
+
+LET us begin with matters municipal and with a notable event. On the 6th
+of October, 1883, the foundation-stone of the new Municipal Buildings in
+George Square was laid. There had been a good deal of excitement and
+much preparation, for although Glasgow was making a purely domestic
+thing of it, a sort of family party, and was to be independent of
+Royalty or of any other distinguished person from the outside, there was
+to be a considerable spectacle, a procession of the trades with banners
+and all kinds of music. There were triumphal arches and other signs of
+gorgeousness in the Square. A great area was given up to grand stands
+and platforms for the accommodation of the innumerable people who wanted
+to see the deed done. The man who did the deed was one esteemed worthy
+the honour of doing it, Lord Provost John Ure, who was going out of
+office in a few weeks time. There is a back view of the Lord Provost
+here in the robes that were, if I mistake not, a new adjunct to the
+dignity of the Glasgow magistrates. But you will notice that when the
+real business of the day had to be undertaken, the Lord Provost doffed
+his robes and went to his work in a workmanlike manner.
+
+Everybody was pleased, everybody was proud, and as many as the City Hall
+could hold dined there in the evening and drank success to the building
+that would grow over the stone declared to be well and truly laid.

+
+IT fell to Lord Provost William McOnie, appropriately enough, to
+entertain the members of the Iron and Steel Institute when, in September
+1885, they held their conference in Glasgow under the presidency of Dr.
+John Percy. The reception was in the Corporation Galleries, where indeed
+the meetings of the Conference had been held. It was said that the
+pictures were in no way the worse by contact with the Conference, but
+how could Art suffer if Iron and Steel were happy?

+
+THE next municipal event herein recorded falls on the 16th of June,
+1887, on which date Glasgow celebrated the Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
+Lord Provost McOnie had given place to Lord Provost James King, by this
+time a Jubilee Knight, and Sir James presided over the local
+celebrations. There was a Volunteer review on the Green during the day,
+which was a hot one, and in the evening a ball given in St. Andrew’s
+Halls. That this was a festive gathering is perhaps sufficiently
+indicated in the sketches; that it was loyal may be taken for granted.

+                        OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION
+
+THE International Exhibition of 1888 was a large item in that part of
+Glasgow history with which we have to deal. We deal with the exhibition
+on its two great occasions only, the first being the opening ceremony by
+the then Prince and Princess of Wales, who brought a glorious day with
+them for the purpose.
+
+The day was the sixth of May. The Grand Hall of the Exhibition was
+crowded for hours before the advent of the Royal party. As there was
+music enough to listen to, and much to look at in the individuals
+composing the crowd, nobody felt the time hang heavy. After the Prince
+and Princess came and had taken up their position on the daïs, the
+formal opening of the Exhibition did not take long. Dr. Donald Macleod
+delivered the prayer; Sir Archibald Campbell read the Address; Sir James
+King presented to the Princess the Album containing water-colour
+sketches given by members of the Glasgow Art Club; Dr. A. C. Mackenzie
+conducted his “New Covenant,” and the Prince of Wales in a short speech
+declared the Exhibition open.

+
+
+                     QUEEN VICTORIA AT THE EXHIBITION
+
+THE Exhibition had been a success beyond all expectations, and its
+crowning glory was the visit of the Queen. Her Majesty paid two visits;
+one, in State, on the 22nd of August, and another privately on the 24th.
+Accompanying the Queen were the Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of
+Battenberg, the Grand Duke of Hesse and his son the Hereditary Grand
+Duke, besides his daughter the sweet-faced Princess Alix, who is now
+Empress of Russia. Her Majesty had not been in Glasgow since 1849, and
+comparatively few of those who saw her then can have turned out to see
+her nine-and-thirty years after. Few or many however, I have no doubt
+they were as enthusiastic in their welcome to the venerable Queen as
+they had been to her in their younger days, and as their younger fellow
+citizens were on these fine days of August ’88. The Queen was the guest
+of Sir Archibald and Lady Campbell at Blythswood, and besides going to
+the Exhibition, the Queen visited the Municipal Buildings and Queen
+Margaret College; Paisley also coming in for a share of the royal
+attention.
+
+Among those who were presented to the Queen at the Exhibition was the
+architect of the Buildings, Mr. James Sellars. His lamented death
+occurred in October, before the close of the great show he had done so
+much to make memorable.
+
+Mr. John Lavery was commissioned by the Executive to paint an important
+picture of the Queen in the Exhibition, and his work now hangs in the
+permanent collection at Kelvingrove.

+
+                            THE SHAH OF PERSIA
+
+NASR-ED-DIN, afterwards assassinated in the streets of his own capital,
+was what is called an “enlightened monarch,” and he wrote a book about
+his Western travels. At the time he visited Glasgow he was the guest of
+the Duke of Montrose. In the City he was taken first to the Council
+Chamber, where an exchange of compliments took place between His
+Oriental Majesty and the Lord Provost. After that he was conveyed to the
+Corporation Galleries, where a large party sat down with him to lunch.
+Prince Malcom Khan acted as interpreter of the formal speeches, but as
+for the conversation at lunch, so far as I remember noticing, there was
+nothing very animated. It is just possible that Sir James King had
+learned the Persian for “good,” “bad,” and “middling,” pronouncing these
+words emphatically or interrogatively to his guests on either hand as
+the various dishes came round. Even a Lord Provost can’t get up an
+entire Oriental language for only one occasion, but three words properly
+applied go a long way in making one’s self agreeable to an Asiatic
+Monarch.

+
+                FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN THE NEW CHAMBERS
+
+IN September 1888, when Queen Victoria had an Address presented to her
+in the courtyard of the new buildings, Her Majesty’s reply concluded
+with these words, “I gladly inaugurate these noble Municipal Buildings,
+which are worthy of the ancient renown and modern prosperity of your
+great city.” It was not for more than a year afterwards that this first
+Council meeting was held under the palatial roof. Sir James King, we
+see, is still Chief Magistrate, but Lord Provost John Muir is not far
+off.

+splendid possibilities of the new chambers for purposes of reception and
+entertainment, possibilities that have been amply demonstrated by Sir
+John Muir’s successors in office.

+
+                                  SHUNA
+
+THIS western isle, two-and-a-half miles by one-and-a-quarter, one
+hundred acres being arable land, has belonged since 1829 to Glasgow,
+having been presented by James Yates, a native of the city. Few
+opportunities have been taken by the Corporation of visiting this twig
+of the civic tree, though now and again a small deputation has inspected
+the island. On the 7th of August 1890, a large party of the Council and
+their friends went by special train to Oban, where Bailie John Neil had
+placed his steam-yacht _Myrtle_ at their disposal for the voyage to
+Shuna and back, a matter of two hours each way. It was a perfect day
+among the islands, one of those days that make the lot of even a Glasgow
+Magistrate a not unhappy one, one of those summer days that it is always
+pleasant to recall.
+
+On the island a ten-months-old baby was waiting to be christened, no
+minister having been on Shuna earlier in the infant’s career. The
+ceremony was performed by Dr. Edgar and Mr. Milligan, two clergymen who
+were of the municipal party. It was a proud quarter of an hour for the
+young shepherd and his wife, the parents, and the hat which was passed
+round obtained a substantial tocher for Mary Ann Myrtle, as the child
+had been named.

+                         JOHN BRIGHT, LORD RECTOR
+
+THIS is the most remote historical event recorded in our collection. The
+22nd of March 1883, was the day on which a great audience crowded St.
+Andrew’s Hall to hear John Bright deliver his address as Lord Rector of
+the University. This address, which I daresay had a good deal of the
+“Little England” element in it, is memorable chiefly for the speaker’s
+earnest appeal on behalf of the wretched poor, and one remembers its
+impressive simplicity of eloquence as perhaps the finest example of
+platform oratory it has ever been one’s lot to hear, even as the
+utterances of Principal John Caird live in the memory as being among the
+most eloquent ever delivered from the pulpit.
+
+As Mr. Bright was emphasising one of his points he struck the mace in
+front of him and its head gave way. This was promptly replaced by Mr.
+Janitor Macpherson with one of his benignant smiles amid the howls of
+the delighted students.
+
+Among the “new LL.D.s” in the sketch may be observed Mr. Henry
+Campbell-Bannerman, then a less prominent figure in the public eye than,
+as Sir Henry, he is in these later days.

+
+                              THE BUTE HALL
+
+THE opening of this hall--named after its donor--in the University took
+place on the evening of 1st February 1884. Principal Caird in his robes
+received the guests in the Randolph Hall before they spread themselves
+over the floors and galleries of the larger apartment and penetrated to
+the museum. Everybody who had any claim to wear academic robes had put
+them on, and the effect as a whole was awe-inspiring, especially to
+those who felt comparatively unclothed in ordinary evening dress.
+
+I have not been in the Bute Hall for many a day, but the one-and-twenty
+years that have passed since the opening night have removed most of the
+faces that may be recognised in the sketch and must have toned down the
+walls and fittings, whose newness was the occasion of this reception,
+giving something of a suitable air of antiquity to that part of the
+ancient seat of learning.

+
+
+                      EDMUND LUSHINGTON, LORD RECTOR
+
+THE venerable Professor Lushington was made Lord Rector on strictly
+non-political and purely academic grounds. It was a personal compliment
+on the part of the University in which he had so long held a chair, as
+gracefully bestowed as it was graciously accepted. Professor
+Lushington--one must make the inevitable reference to his being
+brother-in-law of Tennyson, who had “said things” about him in
+verse--was the first to deliver a Rectorial address in the Bute Hall.
+His address cannot have been heard by many beyond his immediate
+vicinity. The voice of the aged Lord Rector was more than usually
+feeble, the students were more than usually noisy, and even the hint
+that Sir William Thomson (now Lord Kelvin) quite evidently gave the
+speaker produced little improvement.
+
+The wooden doll furtively placed under the reading-desk was of course a
+cause of some merriment. An umbrella wielded by the Janitor brought it
+down, but I never heard who retained the toy as a souvenir.

+
+
+                           A RECTORIAL ELECTION
+
+IN 1887, when Lord Rosebery and Lord Lytton were the candidates put
+forward for the chair of Lord Rector, the Liberal candidate had a
+majority of twenty-two votes overhead, but he had a majority in only two
+of the Nations. As Lord Lytton had also a majority in two of the
+Nations, the result was a draw, and the Chancellor of the University,
+Lord Stair, gave his casting-vote in favour of the Conservative
+candidate. Thus it came about that in the autumn of 1888 Lord Lytton, as
+Lord Rector, addressed the students in the Bute Hall. As shown in the
+frontispiece the amenities of the position were much as usual.
+
+At the next election on Saturday, the 15th of November 1890, the
+candidates were Mr. A. J. Balfour and Lord Aberdeen, the former being
+returned by a large majority after the customary hilarious proceedings

+
+ON the 1st and 3rd of October, 1884, were held two meetings, here rolled
+into one, with Lord Salisbury as chief speaker, and the whole local
+strength of the Conservative party backing him. At that time leader of
+the Opposition, Lord Salisbury was received with much enthusiasm in
+Glasgow--then not a Conservative city by any means--an enthusiasm said
+to have been greater than that accorded Lord Beaconsfield when he
+appeared as the University’s Lord Rector several years previously.
+
+Lord Salisbury was the guest of the laird of Blythswood, who was
+chairman at one of these meetings, the Duke of Montrose presiding at the
+other.

+that known in the political world of to-day. He is referred to in the
+’eighties as “St. Joseph of the Caucus and the abomination of the
+Conservatives.” At that period wasn’t Mr. Chamberlain touring with an
+“unauthorised programme”--something about Old Age Pensions, Workmen’s
+Compensation, and Three Acres and a Cow? Of course in Glasgow he had a
+tremendous and fascinated audience. Mr. Gilbert Beith, a Member of
+Parliament two months or so later, was chairman.

+dealt with Mr. Chamberlain’s “newly-fledged claims to be a Christian
+Philanthropist” was exceedingly happy. Lord George had not dressed for
+the occasion, and some people may have thought this evinced an
+aristocratic disregard for appearances, but it was really owing to the

+a General Election had taken place and the Liberal party was able to
+telegraph, after the counting of votes, “Glasgow’s message to Mr.
+Gladstone--‘we are seven.’” This meeting, over which Lord Rosebery
+presided, making one of his brilliant and witty speeches, was supposed
+to welcome the seven. Only two put in an appearance, Mr. Gilbert Beith
+and Mr. Mitchell Henry. There were plenty of speakers, however, as one
+may see from the opposite page.

+
+IN June 1886 the constituencies were again upturned by a General
+Election, Mr. Gladstone having decided to go to the country on the Irish
+Home Rule question. The Prime Minister, full of his new scheme, poured
+forth his eloquence in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Edinburgh naturally having
+a double share. It was at one of his Edinburgh meetings in the Music
+Hall that I first noticed that Mr. Gladstone’s left hand was minus the
+forefinger.
+
+I ought to make some excuse for putting what is really an Edinburgh
+drawing into a book about Glasgow, so I beg to plead Mr. Gladstone’s
+fascinating personality and my desire to give Edinburgh this little bit
+of a show. She very kindly allowed Mr. Gladstone to come to Glasgow for
+our edification.

+
+THE meeting was held in Hengler’s Circus. At one part of his speech Mr.
+Gladstone wished to read a quotation from Burke, but “the lift grew
+black” temporarily, and it was impossible to see the words on the paper.
+Mr. Gilbert Beith and Sir Charles Tennant stood by and made noble effort
+to lend the aid afforded by a box of matches. The quotation being a
+rather extended one demanded more than this fleeting illumination. But
+the fortunate arrival of some candles saved the situation, and indeed
+well-meaning candles kept coming on to the platform long after full
+justice had been done to the words of Mr. Burke.

+Gladstone’s meeting came the Marquess of Hartington (now Duke of
+Devonshire), whose calm judgment and deliberate manner made a good
+impression and had a considerable effect on the result of the elections
+in Glasgow as in other places. The seven Unionist Candidates were on the
+platform with Lord Hartington, and of these, three were returned as
+members--Mr. Baird, Mr. Corbett and Mr. Caldwell.

+THE sad-looking Mr. Michael Davitt had for his chairman Mr. John
+Ferguson, who arrived in the hall before the speaker of the evening, and
+assured the audience that Mr. Davitt would follow immediately. “I left
+him,” said Mr. Ferguson, “just finishing his tea.”
+
+It was Henry George who wrote “Progress and Poverty” and who was called
+the Apostle of Land Reform. As to the identity of his chairman when he
+lectured in Glasgow I have only a vague idea.
+
+We have here also M. Paul Blouet, known as “Max O’Rell,” lecturing in
+his charming way under the auspices of the Sunday Society; Professor
+Arminius Vambéry, of Buda Pesth, the famous traveller, lecturing in the
+Berkeley Hall to the members and friends of the then recently formed
+Scottish Geographical Society; the Claimant, a melancholy man who had
+done his term in Dartmoor prison, and whose Chairman was Mr. James
+Martin, one of the quaintest of Glasgow Town Councillors, and a firm
+believer that this and no other was “the real Sir Roger.” And then here
+is dear old George Macdonald and his family in their quaint and simple
+rendering of the “Pilgrim’s Progress,” with no attempt at realistic
+scenery as a background, but which had, with the appropriately
+decorative curtains hung round, the effect of a mediæval picture.
+
+On the day that I read the proof of the foregoing sentences came the
+announcement of the death of George Macdonald on the 18th of September
+at the age of eighty-one.

+                           AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE
+
+THE Scottish Society of Painters in Water Colour, not then called Royal,
+prepared as an offering to Queen Victoria at the Jubilee in 1887, a huge
+album containing a drawing from each member. The deputation who had the
+honour of delivering it to her Majesty consisted of the President, Mr.
+(now Sir) Francis Powell, Mr. Colin Hunter, Mr. Joseph Henderson, and
+myself. On the 22nd of June, the day after the great Jubilee procession,
+we attended at Buckingham Palace. Our little present had been sent on
+previously, and we found it placed on a table in the Picture Gallery in
+a row of other gifts, that of the Old Water Colour Society, for
+instance, whose deputation was headed by Sir John Gilbert; next us stood
+the deputation from a Ladies’ Art Society, and somewhere in the line we
+noticed a gift of boots and shoes.
+
+The Queen passed up the gallery, pausing a few minutes at each table to
+accept the offering. We were nearest the top of the room, and ours was,
+therefore, the last gift to be received. Her Majesty was in quite a
+flutter of pleasurable excitement and beaming with smiles. As the
+President showed a few pages of our album, “I shall look over it,” said
+the Queen, “very carefully, and not in a hurry.” Then she bowed to each
+of us, and we felt happy.

+                          ART CLUB COSTUME BALL
+
+UNTIL Friday, 29th of November, 1889, nothing so good of the kind had
+been seen in Glasgow. The destination of the proceeds was the Scottish
+Artists’ Benevolent Fund, which had been formed in the previous
+February, and which benefited to the extent of over £1300. In other ways
+besides financially the ball was a great success, and had some purely
+artistic features, such as the grand procession and tableau, the series
+of dance programmes painted by members of the Art Club and hung up for
+reference, also the sketches from life done in the “Studio” and
+afterwards sold by auction along with the programmes for the benefit of
+the fund.
+
+The _Lillie_ here represented was Mrs. Langtry, who attracted
+considerable notice, as one sees from the eyes following her; and the
+_African_ _Lion_, in Moorish costume, was that amiable and distinguished
+young traveller, Joseph Thomson, whose too early death took place not
+many years after.

+THE entertainment in the Theatre Royal, for which this was a
+preparation, a year later than the event last mentioned, had for its
+object the benefit of the same Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association.
+The Pen-and-Pencil Club and the Glasgow Society of Musicians furnished
+the human material, which was shaped by Mr. William Glover into such
+picturesque groups as “The Judgment of Paris,” “Cleopatra before Cæsar,”
+“Finding the Body of Harold,” “Escape of Prince Charlie,” “Burns and
+Highland Mary,” and “Tam-o’-Shanter.” Another feature of the evening was
+a humorous toy symphony of Mr. Allan Macbeth’s, the orchestra being clad
+in more or less inappropriate costume.

+AT the first of the season 1885-6, Sir A. Mackenzie conducted his
+oratorio “The Rose of Sharon,” the instrumentation of which the musical
+critic of _Quiz_ declares to be its strong point, and ranking with that
+of any living master. He says also that the choral work is throughout
+scholarly and original, and free from that slavish imitation of
+Mendelssohn so much affected by recent writers.

+THE Dramatic Critic of _Quiz_ speaks in the highest praise of this
+performance, given in the Queen’s Rooms in March 1886, and as he must
+have seen the piece played many times he is qualified to speak, but so
+far as I am aware none of the players was on that account tempted to go
+on the professional boards.

+in April 1888, almost entirely free from any amateur weakness, and
+noteworthy for the performance of the young ladies, “Dorothy,” Miss
+Eugenie Smyth, and “Lydia,” Miss Broadfoot, but especially for the
+capital acting of Mr. J. W. Watson as “Lurcher.” Besides the names
+appended to the sketches, the following are mentioned in the _Town
+Tattle_ of the day: Stage manager, Mr. Baynham; at the piano, Miss
+Helena Donald; at the harmonium, Mr. Rowland Wood; first violin, Mr. W.
+H. Cole; and designer of the programme, Mr. Duncan Mackellar.

+THE 3rd L.R.V. and their lady friends had three days of amateur
+shop-keeping with surroundings of a Chinese character in St. Andrews
+Halls, October 1884. The dresses of the ladies looked smart, some
+military, some naval and some Swiss or otherwise equally effective
+national costume. The object of the bazaar was, if I remember rightly, a
+Drill Hall, and it was entirely successful.

+Gildea, then a concert by the Regimental Glee Club, under Captain

+by a dance till the small hours. Plenteous refreshment no doubt came in
+somewhere to sustain us through it all, but I find no note of it

+
+THE Parade Ground was Burnbank, the day the spring holiday of 1886,
+rather more than two years after the formation of the first company of
+the Boys’ Brigade, which, as everybody knows, owes its origin to Captain
+W. A. Smith of the 1st L.R.V. Its admirable organisation making it at
+once successful in Glasgow, led to the formation of companies all over
+Great Britain and Ireland and in the Britains beyond the seas. This was
+probably the earliest Battalion Parade. The Inspecting Officer was
+Colonel J. Newbigging Smith of the 1st L.R.V., in which regiment the
+Brigade President, Mr. J. Carfrae Alston, was at one time an officer.
+
+The Church Parade took place in the Queen’s Rooms, where the boys were
+addressed by the Rev. Dr. Marcus Dods, the most stimulating preacher
+that could possibly have been chosen to arouse the interest of the
+youngsters.

+She had once been of more imposing appearance, but her days of
+usefulness were not yet over, for she served as the home of the local
+detachment of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, who are here
+represented at gun-drill.
+
+The R.N.A.V. flamed with enthusiasm for some years and were then
+supposed to be extinguished, but not long ago the extinguisher has been

+
+IT used to be the correct thing, and I daresay it is so still, for every
+self-respecting young man and maiden of the West-end to go to Hamilton
+Crescent Grounds for this spring meeting. The less interested the young
+man and maiden were in the sports, the better they were pleased, and if
+they hadn’t a real lack of interest they assumed it. There must have
+been a few unaffected enthusiasts who stood round the ropes and watched
+the events eagerly, from the jumping competitions to the obstacle race
+and the tug-of-war. I cannot claim to have been one of these, and it may
+be observed that in this sketch the sports are got over in a
+disgracefully slipshod fashion, while the pencil has been busy with
+characteristic individuals in the general crowd of easy-going
+promenaders.

+genuinely interested in every kick and dribble, breathless when the ball
+is making for the goal, gasping when it misses, and hysterical when it
+passes through--moved either to great grief or great joy, according to
+the party spirit that animates the watcher. This particular game was the
+Charity Cup-Tie, Queen’s Park _v._ 3rd L.R.V., played at Cathkin Park,
+26th of April, 1884.

+There are few things from which I would sooner stay away than from a

+paragraph in _Quiz_ dealing with this match and can therefore say that
+the West made a good stand against the Marylebone, and did better than

+
+TO those who are arrived at that time of life when violent athletics
+become a burden, bowling affords a mild and agreeable substitute that
+may be taken easily or arduously according to the disposition of the
+individual. It is a pleasing game to watch--the careful aim, the knowing
+twist given the ball at the outset of its career, the eager player
+following it with his eyes or with his whole running body till the
+journey is accomplished, and the look of dismay or exultation inspired
+by the degree of success attained.
+
+The unaccustomed bowler has a tendency to tear up the green, and nothing
+causes a real bowler to frown more than this treatment of his beloved
+turf. It ranks as an unpardonable sin with cutting the cloth of a
+billiard-table.

+presided over by Colonel Malcolm of Poltalloch, then an ex-M.P.,
+afterwards for six years member for Argyllshire, and later raised to the
+peerage.
+
+Sheriff Clark’s speech was distinguished by some old Glasgow
+reminiscences, and I remember that Dr. Burns of the Cathedral referred
+to St. Mungo as “my predecessor.” Bailie Salmond, who figured there as a
+croupier, and who had the reputation along with Sir Daniel Macnee of
+being one of the best after-dinner story-tellers, was probably the
+Senior of the feast.

+THIS form of entertainment may be still as much in vogue as it used to
+be in unfashionable circles of Glasgow. These meetings were productive
+of a good deal of genuine happiness, the tea and the cookies and the
+service of fruit and the speeches and the songs--especially the
+“comics”--and the assembly that followed, making up an evening’s

+
+The festival here pictured, that of the Caithness Association, was of

+Rae, at that time editor of the _Contemporary Review._

+
+MORE circumscribed in its immediate sphere of influence than the
+all-embracing soirée just referred to, the dinner has a dignity and
+importance that demand recognition.
+
+The Glasgow Ayrshire Society was founded only two years after the birth
+of Robert Burns, so its primary object was not to keep his memory green,
+but appropriately enough the men of Ayrshire in Glasgow choose his
+birthday for their feast. The dinner of 1890 was held in St. Enoch’s
+Hotel, under the presidency of Mr. J. G. A. Baird, M.P., and the
+“Immortal Memory” was proposed by Mr. William Jolly.

+
+UNTIL the year 1888 the celebration of James Watt’s birthday on the 21st
+of January seems to have been the sole reason of existence for the
+Association of Foreman Engineers, but on the occasion here recorded the
+Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland and the
+Philosophical Society of Glasgow joined and resolved to combine in
+keeping the future anniversaries so that the Association of Foreman
+Engineers dropped out of existence.
+
+The dinner took place in the Grand Hotel with Mr. Kirk of Napier’s in
+the chair. There was a large company, and among the unnamed heads in the
+corner of the sketch may be recognised some familiar in the engineering
+world, that of Mr. James Caldwell and Mr. John Hamilton, for instance,
+while in the other corner, among the “Press,” I may point out Mr. James
+Nicol Dunn--then on the Glasgow staff of the _Scotsman_--referred to in
+an introductory page.

+evening the learned and patriotic Marquess of Bute delivered an able
+address on Scottish History to a large audience, and among the shorter
+speeches was one by Sheriff Spens on his favourite literary
+subject--Tennyson.

+
+THE object of this exhibition, in the end of 1890, was to provide funds
+for the establishment of a People’s Palace in Glasgow. It was opened by
+the Marquess of Lothian, Secretary for Scotland, but the sketches
+herewith have to do with an earlier and more exclusive occurrence ere
+the exhibition was ready for the public eye. This was a private Press
+view, to which you can see the _Bailie’s_ commissioner on his way. There
+was naturally a luncheon with some speeches, in one of the galleries
+devoted to the Fine Arts. Mr. David Fortune, Chairman of the Executive,
+did the honours. Pressmen are modest and like to remain anonymous, but
+here the veil is lifted, revealing Mr. W. M. Gilbert of the _Scotsman_,
+Mr. Thomas Reid of the _Glasgow Herald_, and Mr. Andrew Mudie of the
+_Evening Citizen_.

+presiding at the lunch, at which Lord Charles, as might have been

+
+THE _Minotaur_ was the flag-ship of the Fleet lying off Greenock in the
+end of September 1885. She was boarded by two friends and myself from
+the yacht of one of those friends on the day before the ships were open
+to the public. I don’t know how we came to have the privilege of entry.
+Other people equally favoured were Mr. John Burns (afterwards Lord
+Inverclyde) and his party, also the Provost of Greenock and his party.
+Our party felt pretty big, I assure you, but there was room enough for
+us all.

+
+THIS commemorates a voyage on the _State of Nevada_, in September 1883,
+all the way from the Broomielaw to Greenock. The vessel conveyed one of
+those batches of emigrants from eastern Europe, aliens whose goal of
+apparent happiness lies far beyond the confines of our little islands
+over which they pass on their way to the west. Pathetic groups they are,
+not always seeming sad, but hopeful, looking for something beyond the
+sea. I have never been fortunate enough to see them in the realisation
+of their hopes, but I remember seeing a group of them in one of the
+western States--not quite so far west as that after which this vessel
+was named--sitting waiting for a train to take them farther west, still
+pathetic, still hopeful, still looking for something beyond.

+                           THE COASTING SEASON
+
+TO the reflective mind it must always seem a wonderful thing that the
+Clyde, when it was choosing its channel, elected to run through Glasgow.
+If it had turned aside, say at Hamilton, and run away down to the sea by
+Kilmarnock and Ayr it would have been most awkward for Glasgow,
+especially in summer time, but fortunately for the steamboat companies
+the city had attractions which the river could not resist.
+
+  [Illustration:

+  Seaside, Whilst the Crowded Steamers testify that townspeople are
+  eager to take advantage of the daily excursions
+

+
+
+                          HOW TO GO TO THE COAST
+
+YOUR house-taking having been arranged, the first duty is (1) with the
+assistance of your family to do the packing. Next morning (2) you drive
+to the Broomielaw, where (3) you put your family on board a steamer, and
+(4) go to your office for an hour, leaving instructions with your chief
+clerk for the proper conduct of business in your absence. Then (5) you
+take train to Greenock, and (6) join your family, who are not much
+inconvenienced by the rain which has been pouring for an hour and a
+half. After some considerable time, you (7) arrive at a pier where you
+are put ashore with your belongings. In a light vehicle (8) you travel
+over several miles of rather broken road, while your few odds and ends
+(9) follow in a cart. At length (10) your secluded retreat appears in
+view, and ere long (11) you are cheered by the warm welcome of your
+landlady.
+
+That is how we did it in our young days years and years ago.

+
+WE natives of the Clyde are devoted to Arran. It has a charm for us
+found nowhere else in the world, especially for us old fogies who
+remember the island in its more primitive state when Gaelic was
+universally spoken and the English was delivered in the most delicious
+Hieland accent, or when, joy of joys! some one was found who hadn’t a
+word of English at all. This page, gleaned about Corrie in 1884, was
+titled in _Quiz_ “The ’Ills of Arran.” Well, we cheerfully put up with
+these, with the “h” or without. When we were children nothing mattered.

+
+IT must be confessed that if these are Glasgow people--and who is bold
+enough to say they are not?--it is not on the shores of their native
+Clyde that they disport themselves. These are the sands of the Forth and
+that is the pier at Elie which the steamer is approaching. But, observe,
+these must be Glasgow children who are making a castle in the sand. The
+real east-coasters dig a hole to sit in, instead of piling a mound to be
+washed away by the tide.

+                             SPIRITUAL APATHY
+
+THE new minister had intimated that he would open a class for young
+people in the Manse on Thursday evenings at eight o’clock. On the first
+Thursday thereafter, at eight-fifteen, the attendance was not at all
+encouraging.

+
+                                EMULATION
+
+NOTHING is more aggravating when you are taking a long country walk with
+a short friend, than his insisting on stepping over fences as you do,
+when he could so much more easily crawl under.

+
+IT may be asked, why does this young man not make himself agreeable to
+these girls if he is the only male to be had? We have to state in reply
+that he has made himself agreeable to all the young ladies in turn, and
+now they have begun to quarrel about him.

+                            RANDOM QUOTATIONS
+
+I HAD thought it desirable to wind up with some apt quotation from the
+poets, but I am afraid I have not successfully done so. It would be rash
+to claim that the quotations here given are apt, or that the sketches in
+any way elucidate the text of the classic authors. Indeed, an
+examination of the context would, I am almost certain, reveal the fact
+that not in a single instance has the real meaning of the passages been
+caught by the illustrator. Better close the volume without further
+remark.

+HERE is a book about Glasgow; not the Glasgow known to
+our young friends in their teens, or remembered by those in
+their early twenties, but the Glasgow familiar to their fathers
+and mothers when <em>they</em> were in their teens and early twenties.
+That was away back in the ’eighties, before the days of electric
+light in the streets, electric cars, an intricate internal railway
+system, the new art galleries, and all the other improvements
+of which I&#8288;—a stranger almost in Glasgow now&#8288;—am only dimly
+cognisant. We considered Glasgow in those days, as many
+thousands do now, to be a very good place to live in. We had
+some rather jolly times. We took an easy and good-humoured
+view of things in general; and if the pages of this book convey
+any other impression, then they fail in their purpose. The
+two weekly papers in which the sketches originally appeared
+tried to minister to this easy-going good humour.</p>
+<p>
+One of these papers is dead; let us speak of it respectfully.
+The other was its senior, and is its survivor; let us speak even
+more respectfully of it&#8288;—the <i>Bailie</i>, which, dating from 1872,
+has for over a generation been one of the recognised institutions
+of Glasgow. It is, and has always been, essentially a local
+journal. Though every now and then portraits of personages
+who are prominent outside Glasgow circles have appeared in its
+pages, it is Glasgow alone that forms the <i>Bailie’s</i> chief concern.
+<span id='page-12' class='pagenum'>12</span>As the experience of three and thirty years has shown, the life
+of Glasgow&#8288;—municipal, political, social, artistic&#8288;—abounds in
+ample material for criticism and comment, humorous or otherwise.
+All sorts and conditions of Glasgow folk have, I am
+told, contributed to the <i>Bailie</i>&#8288;—Doctors of Divinity, Doctors of
+Laws, Doctors of Medicine, Members of Parliament, Bailies
+and Lord Provosts, among others&#8288;—but the anonymity of the
+contributors has always been preserved, and to that anonymity
+may be ascribed some portion at least of the paper’s success.
+The one individuality that has become known to the citizens
+in connection with the <i>Bailie</i>, and whose name I may therefore
+be permitted to mention, is that of John D. Gray,
+who has occupied the position of manager from its origin to
+the present time. The <i>Bailie</i> at its beginning had practically
+the same modest aspect that it has at present. It had fewer
+pages, and beyond the cartoon portrait of Lord Provost James
+Watson, it had no attempt at illustration. Of the more fully
+illustrated papers of the kind that had been tried in Glasgow,
+<i>Quiz</i> was the only one that had anything like success. It
+published its first number in March 1881, and it lasted, through
+several changes of proprietorship, for about twenty years. Its
+first editor was William Robertson; its dramatic critic John
+Reid; its business manager Arnot Reid. These three friends
+did the greater part of the writing, both in prose and verse,
+in the earlier years. The design on the cover was by Martin
+Anderson, afterwards widely known as “Cynicus,” who contributed
+many of his quaint conceits to the paper, a later
+artist contributor being Harrington Mann. The great proportion
+of sketches fell to the lot of “Twym,” and it is from these
+that most of the present selection has been made.
+</p>
+<p>
+William Robertson, after a lingering illness that lasted
+<span id='page-13' class='pagenum'>13</span>for more than five years, died at his mother’s home in Alva
+on the 24th December 1889; and Arnot Reid, whose connection
+with <i>Quiz</i> ceased when he went to London&#8288;—and onwards
+to Singapore, where he edited the <i>Straits Times</i>&#8288;—is
+buried at Tonbridge in Kent, where he died on the 21st July 1901.
+</p>
+<p>
+As in the case of the <i>Bailie</i>, the writers in <i>Quiz</i> were
+anonymous. The columns of gossip and criticism were signed,
+but only by pen-names that did not reveal the identity of the
+authors. There is no need now for withholding names. I
+have already mentioned John Reid, who was an untiring contributor.
+His “Chronicle of Small Beer” did not appear in
+<i>Quiz</i>, however, and indeed was not written till some time after
+he had stopped writing for the paper. Another writer was James
+Nicol Dunn, lately editor of the <i>Morning Post</i>, and now of the
+<i>Manchester Courier</i>; while contributions (chiefly poetical) from
+John Davidson, the late Dr. James H. Stoddart, and Sheriff
+Spens have also appeared in <i>Quiz</i>. I am speaking, of course,
+only of the first seven years or so, all I can speak of, in the
+career of <i>Quiz</i>. That some of the contents of the paper were
+of more than passing interest may be conceded, as several reprints
+have been made from its pages. We remember the
+“Martha Spreull” of Henry Johnston, the “Law Lyrics”
+of Robert Bird, and the “Sweet Briar” of James Strang, while
+the dainty “Wayside Vignettes” of William Canton are, most
+of them, to be found in his subsequently published volumes
+of poetry. The drawings of “Cynicus” also have been republished
+in various forms, and two albums of “Twym’s”
+sketches have been issued, 1882 and 1883.
+</p>
+<p>
+The identity of “Twym” was never much of a secret, I
+daresay. I used to be asked frequently what my pseudonym
+meant. If there are still any friends curious on the point, it
+<span id='page-14' class='pagenum'>14</span>may interest them to know that the word was only an arbitrary
+combination of letters, and had no meaning whatever.
+</p>
+<p>
+My last contribution to <i>Quiz</i>&#8288;—the Prince and Princess of
+Wales at the Exhibition&#8288;—appears in this volume, as does my
+first contribution to the <i>Bailie</i>, Lord Lytton at the University.
+One drawing has not appeared in either of these papers. The
+sketches I made when the Queen visited the exhibition were
+for the <i>Graphic</i>, and I have had permission to make use of
+the drawing done at the time from my sketches in making a new
+page for this book.
+</p>
+<p>
+It would not have occurred to me to drag these sketches
+from the obscurity of the past, were it not that an undoubted
+authority informed me, in a moment of confidence, that a book of
+this kind would be an unquestioned benefit to the men and
+women of Glasgow and to the strangers within their gates. He,
+in short, commanded their re-publication. And so the original
+proofs were looked out and selected. They were also carefully
+revised, a line being strengthened or added here, a line being
+lessened or eliminated there, and new blocks were made on a
+slightly reduced scale for the purposes of this volume.
+</p>
+<p>
+When I look over the faces and figures herein revived, and
+when I consider how many of those they are meant to represent
+have passed away for ever, the collection seems a trifle antiquated;
+but when I remember that many of the personages are
+still living and working, in Glasgow or in other parts of the world,
+some in the enjoyment of higher place and power and title, I
+am disposed to think the subjects quite modern, up-to-date,
+and possessed of sufficient interest to warrant their resuscitation.
+</p>
+<p>
+For the notes that accompany the sketches, I had thoughts
+of beseeching the aid of one or other of my Glasgow literary
+friends&#8288;—my old comrade of <i>Quiz</i>, John Reid, perhaps, or Henry
+<span id='page-15' class='pagenum'>15</span>Johnston, or George Eyre-Todd, or J. J. Bell, or Neil Munro&#8288;—or
+of my wife; but if any of these sparkling pens had come into
+play, where would my sketches have been beside their erudite
+romantic humour? As this book was meant more to be looked
+at than to be read, I thought that those who cared to inspect the
+drawings would not object to have a plain word or two from the
+man who made them, instead of something more brilliant from a
+real literary person.
+</p>
+<p>
+It is as something of a veteran that I speak in these
+notes, but I trust I am not too garrulous or egotistical. The
+notes are not meant to contain much information, but such
+as they do contain is, to the best of my knowledge, to be
+depended on.
+</p>
+<p>
+And now begins the little reminiscent show and the running
+commentary by the showman.

+<span id='page-19' class='pagenum'>19</span>THE FOUNDATION-STONE</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+LET us begin with matters municipal and with a notable event. On the
+6th of October, 1883, the foundation-stone of the new Municipal Buildings
+in George Square was laid. There had been a good deal of excitement and
+much preparation, for although Glasgow was making a purely domestic
+thing of it, a sort of family party, and was to be independent of Royalty or
+of any other distinguished person from the outside, there was to be a
+considerable spectacle, a procession of the trades with banners and all kinds
+of music. There were triumphal arches and other signs of gorgeousness in
+the Square. A great area was given up to grand stands and platforms for the
+accommodation of the innumerable people who wanted to see the deed done.
+The man who did the deed was one esteemed worthy the honour of doing
+it, Lord Provost John Ure, who was going out of office in a few weeks
+time. There is a back view of the Lord Provost here in the robes that were,
+if I mistake not, a new adjunct to the dignity of the Glasgow magistrates.
+But you will notice that when the real business of the day had to be undertaken,
+the Lord Provost doffed his robes and went to his work in a workmanlike
+manner.</p>
+<p>
+Everybody was pleased, everybody was proud, and as many as the City
+Hall could hold dined there in the evening and drank success to the
+building that would grow over the stone declared to be well and truly
+laid.

+<h3>
+<span id='page-20' class='pagenum'>20</span>A RECEPTION AND AN OUTING</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+IT fell to Lord Provost William McOnie, appropriately enough, to
+entertain the members of the Iron and Steel Institute when, in September
+1885, they held their conference in Glasgow under the presidency
+of Dr. John Percy. The reception was in the Corporation Galleries,
+where indeed the meetings of the Conference had been held. It was said
+that the pictures were in no way the worse by contact with the Conference,
+but how could Art suffer if Iron and Steel were happy?</p>
+</div>

+And here we have iron and steel, in the form of the steamer <i>Scotia</i>,
+doing their best to make things comfortable for the Weavers’ Society
+of Anderston, one of those ancient organisations that form an essential
+part of the constitution of Glasgow. The annual outing seems to be early
+in the year. It is only the end of April, but the weather is a foretaste
+of summer, the destination of the party Lamlash, and the Deacon of the
+year Mr. Archibald Stewart.

+THE next municipal event herein recorded falls on the 16th of June, 1887,
+on which date Glasgow celebrated the Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Lord
+Provost McOnie had given place to Lord Provost James King, by this
+time a Jubilee Knight, and Sir James presided over the local celebrations.
+There was a Volunteer review on the Green during the day,
+which was a hot one, and in the evening a ball given in St. Andrew’s
+Halls. That this was a festive gathering is perhaps sufficiently indicated
+in the sketches; that it was loyal may be taken for granted.</p>

+<h3>
+<span id='page-27' class='pagenum'>27</span>OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THE International Exhibition of 1888 was a large item in that part of
+Glasgow history with which we have to deal. We deal with the exhibition
+on its two great occasions only, the first being the opening ceremony
+by the then Prince and Princess of Wales, who brought a glorious
+day with them for the purpose.</p>
+<p>
+The day was the sixth of May. The Grand Hall of the Exhibition
+was crowded for hours before the advent of the Royal party. As there
+was music enough to listen to, and much to look at in the individuals
+composing the crowd, nobody felt the time hang heavy. After the Prince
+and Princess came and had taken up their position on the daïs, the formal
+opening of the Exhibition did not take long. Dr. Donald Macleod
+delivered the prayer; Sir Archibald Campbell read the Address; Sir
+James King presented to the Princess the Album containing water-colour
+sketches given by members of the Glasgow Art Club; Dr. A. C. Mackenzie
+conducted his “New Covenant,” and the Prince of Wales in a short
+speech declared the Exhibition open.

+<h3>
+<span id='page-28' class='pagenum'>28</span>QUEEN VICTORIA AT THE EXHIBITION</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THE Exhibition had been a success beyond all expectations, and its
+crowning glory was the visit of the Queen. Her Majesty paid two visits;
+one, in State, on the 22nd of August, and another privately on the 24th.
+Accompanying the Queen were the Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of
+Battenberg, the Grand Duke of Hesse and his son the Hereditary Grand
+Duke, besides his daughter the sweet-faced Princess Alix, who is now
+Empress of Russia. Her Majesty had not been in Glasgow since 1849,
+and comparatively few of those who saw her then can have turned out to
+see her nine-and-thirty years after. Few or many however, I have no
+doubt they were as enthusiastic in their welcome to the venerable Queen as
+they had been to her in their younger days, and as their younger fellow
+citizens were on these fine days of August ’88. The Queen was the guest
+of Sir Archibald and Lady Campbell at Blythswood, and besides going to
+the Exhibition, the Queen visited the Municipal Buildings and Queen
+Margaret College; Paisley also coming in for a share of the royal
+attention.</p>
+<p>
+Among those who were presented to the Queen at the Exhibition was
+the architect of the Buildings, Mr. James Sellars. His lamented death
+occurred in October, before the close of the great show he had done so
+much to make memorable.
+</p>
+<p>
+Mr. John Lavery was commissioned by the Executive to paint an
+important picture of the Queen in the Exhibition, and his work now hangs
+in the permanent collection at Kelvingrove.

+<h3>
+<span id='page-31' class='pagenum'>31</span>THE SHAH OF PERSIA</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+NASR-ED-DIN, afterwards assassinated in the streets of his own capital,
+was what is called an “enlightened monarch,” and he wrote a book about
+his Western travels. At the time he visited Glasgow he was the guest of
+the Duke of Montrose. In the City he was taken first to the Council
+Chamber, where an exchange of compliments took place between His
+Oriental Majesty and the Lord Provost. After that he was conveyed to
+the Corporation Galleries, where a large party sat down with him to lunch.
+Prince Malcom Khan acted as interpreter of the formal speeches, but as
+for the conversation at lunch, so far as I remember noticing, there was
+nothing very animated. It is just possible that Sir James King had
+learned the Persian for “good,” “bad,” and “middling,” pronouncing these
+words emphatically or interrogatively to his guests on either hand as the
+various dishes came round. Even a Lord Provost can’t get up an entire
+Oriental language for only one occasion, but three words properly applied
+go a long way in making one’s self agreeable to an Asiatic Monarch.</p>

+<h3>
+<span id='page-32' class='pagenum'>32</span>FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN THE NEW CHAMBERS</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+IN September 1888, when Queen Victoria had an Address presented to
+her in the courtyard of the new buildings, Her Majesty’s reply concluded
+with these words, “I gladly inaugurate these noble Municipal Buildings,
+which are worthy of the ancient renown and modern prosperity of your
+great city.” It was not for more than a year afterwards that this first
+Council meeting was held under the palatial roof. Sir James King, we
+see, is still Chief Magistrate, but Lord Provost John Muir is not far off.</p>

+<div class='wl'>

+<h3>
+<span id='page-36' class='pagenum'>36</span>SHUNA</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THIS western isle, two-and-a-half miles by one-and-a-quarter, one hundred
+acres being arable land, has belonged since 1829 to Glasgow, having been
+presented by James Yates, a native of the city. Few opportunities have
+been taken by the Corporation of visiting this twig of the civic tree, though
+now and again a small deputation has inspected the island. On the
+7th of August 1890, a large party of the Council and their friends went by
+special train to Oban, where Bailie John Neil had placed his steam-yacht
+<i>Myrtle</i> at their disposal for the voyage to Shuna and back, a matter of two
+hours each way. It was a perfect day among the islands, one of those
+days that make the lot of even a Glasgow Magistrate a not unhappy
+one, one of those summer days that it is always pleasant to recall.</p>
+<p>
+On the island a ten-months-old baby was waiting to be christened, no
+minister having been on Shuna earlier in the infant’s career. The ceremony
+was performed by Dr. Edgar and Mr. Milligan, two clergymen who
+were of the municipal party. It was a proud quarter of an hour for the
+young shepherd and his wife, the parents, and the hat which was passed
+round obtained a substantial tocher for Mary Ann Myrtle, as the child had
+been named.

+<h3>
+<span id='page-39' class='pagenum'>39</span>JOHN BRIGHT, LORD RECTOR</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THIS is the most remote historical event recorded in our collection. The
+22nd of March 1883, was the day on which a great audience crowded
+St. Andrew’s Hall to hear John Bright deliver his address as Lord Rector
+of the University. This address, which I daresay had a good deal of the
+“Little England” element in it, is memorable chiefly for the speaker’s
+earnest appeal on behalf of the wretched poor, and one remembers its
+impressive simplicity of eloquence as perhaps the finest example of platform
+oratory it has ever been one’s lot to hear, even as the utterances of Principal
+John Caird live in the memory as being among the most eloquent ever
+delivered from the pulpit.</p>
+<p>
+As Mr. Bright was emphasising one of his points he struck the mace in
+front of him and its head gave way. This was promptly replaced by
+Mr. Janitor Macpherson with one of his benignant smiles amid the howls of
+the delighted students.
+</p>
+<p>
+Among the “new LL.D.s” in the sketch may be observed Mr. Henry
+Campbell-Bannerman, then a less prominent figure in the public eye than,
+as Sir Henry, he is in these later days.

+<h3>
+<span id='page-40' class='pagenum'>40</span>THE BUTE HALL</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THE opening of this hall&#8288;—named after its donor&#8288;—in the University took
+place on the evening of 1st February 1884. Principal Caird in his robes
+received the guests in the Randolph Hall before they spread themselves
+over the floors and galleries of the larger apartment and penetrated to
+the museum. Everybody who had any claim to wear academic robes had
+put them on, and the effect as a whole was awe-inspiring, especially to
+those who felt comparatively unclothed in ordinary evening dress.</p>
+<p>
+I have not been in the Bute Hall for many a day, but the one-and-twenty
+years that have passed since the opening night have removed most of the
+faces that may be recognised in the sketch and must have toned down the
+walls and fittings, whose newness was the occasion of this reception, giving
+something of a suitable air of antiquity to that part of the ancient seat of
+learning.

+<span id='page-43' class='pagenum'>43</span>EDMUND LUSHINGTON, LORD RECTOR</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+THE venerable Professor Lushington was made Lord Rector on strictly
+non-political and purely academic grounds. It was a personal compliment
+on the part of the University in which he had so long held a chair, as
+gracefully bestowed as it was graciously accepted. Professor Lushington&#8288;—one
+must make the inevitable reference to his being brother-in-law of
+Tennyson, who had “said things” about him in verse&#8288;—was the first to
+deliver a Rectorial address in the Bute Hall. His address cannot have
+been heard by many beyond his immediate vicinity. The voice of the aged
+Lord Rector was more than usually feeble, the students were more than
+usually noisy, and even the hint that Sir William Thomson (now Lord
+Kelvin) quite evidently gave the speaker produced little improvement.</p>
+<p>
+The wooden doll furtively placed under the reading-desk was of course
+a cause of some merriment. An umbrella wielded by the Janitor brought it
+down, but I never heard who retained the toy as a souvenir.

+<span id='page-44' class='pagenum'>44</span>A RECTORIAL ELECTION</h3>
+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+IN 1887, when Lord Rosebery and Lord Lytton were the candidates put
+forward for the chair of Lord Rector, the Liberal candidate had a majority
+of twenty-two votes overhead, but he had a majority in only two of the
+Nations. As Lord Lytton had also a majority in two of the Nations, the
+result was a draw, and the Chancellor of the University, Lord Stair, gave
+his casting-vote in favour of the Conservative candidate. Thus it came
+about that in the autumn of 1888 Lord Lytton, as Lord Rector, addressed
+the students in the Bute Hall. As shown in the frontispiece the amenities
+of the position were much as usual.</p>
+<p>
+At the next election on Saturday, the 15th of November 1890, the
+candidates were Mr. A. J. Balfour and Lord Aberdeen, the former being
+returned by a large majority after the customary hilarious proceedings on
+the summit of Gilmorehill.

+<p>
+I ought to make some excuse for putting what is really an Edinburgh

+black” temporarily, and it was impossible to see the words on the paper.
+Mr. Gilbert Beith and Sir Charles Tennant stood by and made noble
+effort to lend the aid afforded by a box of matches. The quotation being
+a rather extended one demanded more than this fleeting illumination. But
+the fortunate arrival of some candles saved the situation, and indeed well-meaning

+<p>
+It was Henry George who wrote “Progress and Poverty” and who was

+We have here also M. Paul Blouet, known as “Max O’Rell,” lecturing
+in his charming way under the auspices of the Sunday Society; Professor
+Arminius Vambéry, of Buda Pesth, the famous traveller, lecturing in the
+Berkeley Hall to the members and friends of the then recently formed
+Scottish Geographical Society; the Claimant, a melancholy man who had
+done his term in Dartmoor prison, and whose Chairman was Mr. James
+Martin, one of the quaintest of Glasgow Town Councillors, and a firm
+believer that this and no other was “the real Sir Roger.” And then here

+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+TO the reflective mind it must always seem a wonderful thing that the
+Clyde, when it was choosing its channel, elected to run through Glasgow.
+If it had turned aside, say at Hamilton, and run away down to the sea by
+Kilmarnock and Ayr it would have been most awkward for Glasgow,
+especially in summer time, but fortunately for the steamboat companies the
+city had attractions which the river could not resist.</p>

+<div class='wl'>
+<p class='noindent'>
+YOUR house-taking having been arranged, the first duty is (1) with the
+assistance of your family to do the packing. Next morning (2) you drive
+to the Broomielaw, where (3) you put your family on board a steamer, and
+(4) go to your office for an hour, leaving instructions with your chief clerk
+for the proper conduct of business in your absence. Then (5) you take
+train to Greenock, and (6) join your family, who are not much inconvenienced
+by the rain which has been pouring for an hour and a half.
+After some considerable time, you (7) arrive at a pier where you are put
+ashore with your belongings. In a light vehicle (8) you travel over several
+miles of rather broken road, while your few odds and ends (9) follow in a
+cart. At length (10) your secluded retreat appears in view, and ere long
+(11) you are cheered by the warm welcome of your landlady.</p>

+That is how we did it in our young days years and years ago.

+the island in its more primitive state when Gaelic was universally spoken
+and the English was delivered in the most delicious Hieland accent, or
+when, joy of joys! some one was found who hadn’t a word of English at
+all. This page, gleaned about Corrie in 1884, was titled in <i>Quiz</i> “The

+without. When we were children nothing mattered.</p>
