APPENDIX. NOTES. No. 1.-THE TAITS were certainly the greatest athletes that eve1 came out of one family, and as hammer and weight throwers, R. R. M'Lennan and his brothers undoubtedly come next. At the Caledonian games at Toronto in 1872, three of the M'Lennans were 10oft. and over with 21lb. hammer (turning style). Dinnie and Fleming were present but did not compete, being unaccustomed to this method. \Ve take the liberty of quoting from the local papers' report of the throwing. The following are "the names of the contestants in this important match, with the highest throws made by each : Alex. M'~onald, 84ft.; Alex. M'Lennan, 85ft. 5in. ; A. R. M'Lennan, 10oft. ; Farquhar M'Lennan, rn6ft. 6in.; and Roderick R. 1'Lennan, I 3oft. 4in." Event" 16. Heavy hammer, standing style, 21lbs.-1st prize, $10; 2nd, $6; 3rd, $4. 1st, R. R.
