G. 1\1, ROSS OF LAI RG. 53 415 remounts were sent to the front, Ross having a re– sponsible position as to the treatment and welfare of the animals. Ross is a rolling-stone, and purely Bohemian in disposi– tion He is the most happy-go-lucky of mortals, and looks at life as too much of a joke to be taken seriously; to-day is the time with George, to-morrow can take care of itself. He is full of fun-and Gaelic-and as good a judge of special Scotch as any man in the Highlands. In physique, Ross is a model-5 feet 9 inches in height and 16 stone. His chest measures 47 inches; calf, 17! inches; and thigh, 261 inches. At Galston this year (1901) Ross won throwing the 56lb. weight, distance 29ft. 3in., Morrison was second, 28ft. 7in., and Mathews third. Ross also won first prize at wrestling, Scots style, defeating M. Steadman in the final.
