Men of Muscle, and the Highland Games of Scotland, etc.

90 ~IEN OF 11U CLE. little credit, as, with the exception of the Evening Times, the ball was reported as being only 2 3lb. At Kinross, Cameron putt well, but was defeated by both M'Lean and Donald Ross, which is another proof of the uncertainty of putting, especially with only three tries. Not that M'Lean and Ross are not first class men, but, con· sidering Cameron's form with the heavy ball, he should have won easily at eYery games he went to. He won both the light and the heavy stone at Inverness. With the former he made 45ft. 5in., while with the 22lb. the distance was 38ft. B!in. In tossing the caber he came third. His putting at the Aberdeen Highland Games will form a. suitable finis to his list of performances. With a heavy ball he made 39ft. 1in., and with a light ball 49ft. o}in. The balls are said to be 22lb. and 16lb. respectively, but if so the ground, we cannot think, can be level. Amongst all the champions at Highland games, Cameron looks the most muscular and powerful.

Cameron is never in a hurry, not even when he putts; the pity is that he is not. If Cameron had the same agility as Charles M'Lean he would make records which might never be equall~d. But this is just what Cameron lacks. He is six feet one inch in height, weighs sixteen stone, and measures forty-six inches round the chest, and is one of the strongest men of modern times.

Cameron has the frame of Hercules, and the mind and disposition of Tom Pinch. Sandy, like Tom, would not quarrel with a mouse, or hurt a fly. Cameron is a favourite with every one, and even, despite his slowness, is at present the best putter with
