PAGE EIGHTEEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 7 Royal Treasures Whi Recall the Long Re Of Late Queen Vic Queen Victoria's fondness for the Highlands Was ardent and. sincere. She loved the country and its people, and nowhere did she feel happier or more thoroughly at home than in her beautiful mansion by the banks of the glittering Dee. Her predilections for the customs and traditions of the Gael wefe strikingly exemplified in the furniture, hangings, and decora- tions of this residence, where the tar- tan and other distinctive national em- blems were always very in evi- dence. It may not be generally known that early in the sixties she commanded Kenneth Maclcay, a well-known por- trait pairiter to go over the Highlands and execute a set of full-length fig- ures illustrative of the costumes of the various clans. Macleay accepted the commission. In each case the work was done from life, a typical clansman being selected for the task of posing. A start was made with the Prince Consort and the Duke of Edinburgh, and then nine members of the Royal - household at Balmoral came in for attention. There were included John Brown, the Queen's permanent servant; John Grant, head keeper; 'Macleay erman from and man from Aberfoyle of forget which); A farmer from Muccomer, the Chisholms by a plot Beauly; the Macdonalds from Scalpay and another from Eli- goll, Skye; the M egors by the ground-officer of the Edinchip estate; the Mackenzies by a Kintail shep- herd and a Lochcarron carpenter; the Maclachlans by an Ardgour post- man, and so on. Buried Deep Under Debris The original paintings were hung up at Balmoral and remained so placed during Queen Victoria's life- time. King Edward, on his acces- sion, ordered them to be removed, and deposited somewhere else. This action was scarcely to be wondered at, for only a person deeply impreg- nated with Gaelic sentiment would Muffitt MADE IN FLO-GLAZE is the DIFFFRENT t. we ood you why.

But that is all changed. Today the young men of the golf- ing world are winning championships, and show- ing the veterans the way to honors, and are, in a more general way, finding keen 'enjoyment in this wonderful old sport. : z Golf has a fascination all its own. it is the thrill of shooting at a mark which has been set. Perhaps it is the keen enjoyment of the great out of doors, the exercise and healthful recreation of the tramp around the be its chief attraction, golf as a game has taken a firm hold on lendid Oshawa Golf Course, of eighteen holes, avell laid out, and ing and blocking the fairways and greens, it will provide much 'excellent sport for hundreds of the people of the city this summer. links, Whatever this community, and the with sporting hazards permit them to monopolise a large proportion of his wall space. A question arises as to what has happened to those portraits. As far as the general public is aware, they are wholly lost or buried deeply un- der the debris of nearly twenty years in some lumber room or attic, It is not suggested that any mystery at- taches to their final disposal; but it will readily cccur to the reader that it would be a good thing if they could be recovered and deposited for safe keeping in one or other of our pub- lic galleries, preferably in our Scot. tish metropolis. They are worthy of being preserved and rendered access. ible. There can scarcely be any doubt that the present owner, our gracious Sovereign, would readily assent to their being handed over to the Scot. tish nation. Fi A of | ish A A, As I have already mentioned, Ken- neth Macleay was an eminent painter. He was born at Oban in 1802, his father being Dr. Kenneth Macleay, a Glasgow physician and archaeolo- gist of superior accomplishments. e artist, whose mother bclonged to the Macdonells of Keppuch, spent most of his early years at Crieff, Go- ing to Edinburgh, he entered the Trustees Academy and soon earned a high reputation as a miniature paint- er. He was foundation associate of the Royal Scottish Academy and one of the nine who withdrew after the first meeting. He worked on ivory and later in water-colours on paper. His bust portraits and small full- lengths are distinguished by fine col- ouring and exquisite beauty of touch. When the progress of photography reduced the popular demand for mini- atures he turned his attention to genre pictures of Highland subjects and also to landscape painting, and a list of his works occupied six pages of the Royal Academy cata- | logue compiled and issued a number of years ago. He was married to a daughter of Sir A. Campbell of Al- denglas and died in 1878. Selections of the Highland figures which Macleay painted for Queen Victoria were, in 1870, lithographed, hand-painted, and publishéd in two handsome volumes. --By Angus Hen- derson, in The Edinburgh Scotsman.

McElhinney (In Rod and Gun) Nowadays, when the whole earth is being ransacked for stories of interest, our little local excursions seem tame and yet, it is not all who can go to the farthest corners in search of adventure. The vast majority has to be con- tent with what its small opportuni. ties afford and since the local inter- est of one place is a foreign part to the moat of the world, the bal. ance is preserved. I have been visiting the Rideau Lakes for more than thirty years and have become pretty well ac- quainted with their beauties. I have talked and written much concern ing them and their manifest advan- tages in the holiday line and yet it is only lately that I have been tempted to leave the main line of communication * between Ottawa and Kiugston and ramble a little amongst the adjacent and outlying lakes that by the hundred fill tue territory on both sides of this man line, : This summer while at Chaffey's locks, I heard of various admirable little bodies of water which were not connected by water with the main chain. -- A couple of friends of mine, to wit, Arthur Jones of Smith's Falls and Jack Ritchie of Montreal had been out to a couple of iakes not far from Chaffey's and told ie about them thus starting the trou- ble. I bought a light Chestnut ca- noe, 15 ft. by 3 ft. wide and weigh ing 50 pounds. A mere bagateu. to lash to the side of a motor car and go adventuring. So one day we loaded up auu followed Lake Opinnicon to the head where we turned sharp right, through a gate and then a couple of miles over a trail that had two wheel-tracks anyway to say noth- ing of the hills, hollows and boul- ders. We came out at the end of the trail at Lindsay's Lake, a little gem not over a half mile in extent but beautiful beyond cavil. While Art and Jack made camp, I launched the canoe, baited up ana male some casts, We had brought a pail of minnows and as an evi- dence of careful driving--it had to be careful or disaster would inter- vene--there was less than five pe. cent of casualties in the pat, Inside fifteen minutes I had three fine bass for dinner and Art, whose name should be Artis., swun had them in such shape as would fill the chef of the Chateau Laurier with envy. It was a "shore dinner" par ex- cellence, Anyone who has not had a real shore dinner has not lived. After this and a smoke we pad- dled agwss to the portage, carriea the canoe and bait pail a quarter of a mile and let it down into Round Lake. I say "let it down" advisedly. Round Lake is a jewel. Some half mile in diameter, nearly round in shape as its name inai- cates, it is some lake. By government survey, it is the deepest lake in North America, some 1400 feet. Some hole, evi- dently the crater of a long extinct volcano. The water is cold and clear as crystal. One can dip a cup as in a spring without a trace ot the usual weedy taste. We paddled around the lake once, casting as we went, and had nine fine bass as our reward, And such bass I never ran across before for fighting qualities. Just opposite the bluff Art ana 1 cast together and had immediate strikes. "What have you got?" says Art. "Three pounds or better," says I. "Same here or better," says Art and we gave them play. When we go them in they were not more than one and a half or two at the most. As every fisherman knows it is not the size but the fighting quality that counts. Round Lake has no apology to make in this re- gard. We then portaged back to Lina- say's, caught several fine pike, some more bass and hustled back to our headquaters at Chaffey's, A week later Jack having gone home, Uncle Bill took his place. This time we put a tent and our sleeping bags on board. ' We arrived at Lindsay's and as usual caught our dinner and fished that lake bass and pike. The pike ran about four pounds, clean and real fight- il ers. I think that the Angling Edi- tor would call them of the Great Northern variety by the markings Certainly, they were quite ditter- ent from the Grass Pike which is the usual variety of the main chain of the Rideau. Uncle Bill went put alone in the canoe while we prepared dinner. He was not accustomed to our way of fishing with a short casting rod. He nailed a good one and it was fun to watch him, He simply let the pike tow him around until it was weak enough to be hauled into the cange. Was he ed? Tell them, pike, you have 'the pull. that afternoon. : Gooa' Next morning, we paddled across to the portage, followed it about half way and then struck to the left about a mile, letting us into Long Lake. Long Lake is about a mile long and rather narrow. We pad- dled up one side and down the other, casting as we went and never raised a fin. Isn't that funny? That is fisherman's luck. Some other day and we would have filled the basket. After consuming our light lunch of sandwiches we portaged back to Lindsay's where we made a good catch for the afternoon. Then we motored--did I say mo~ tored?--back to Chaffey's where we had a royal dinner on board ue "Summertime" which is our head- quarters. Sometime, if you wish, I shall give you a description of the "Summertime" the most comfort- able cruiser that ever wag designed, SOCIETY FOR PRESERVATION OF FAUNA OF THE EMPIRE Canadian sportsmen will he inter- ested to learn of the reorganization of the Society for Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire, which has its headquarters in London, England, in the offices of the Zoological Society.
