The Coronation – A Big Programme

The Dundee programme for the celebration of the Coronation of King George V and Queen Mary on Thursday 22nd June, is ambitious, showing that the members of the Town Council and others associated with them in completing arrangements are determined to make the day memorable as well as enjoyable for old and young.There will be something to attract and to amuse every section of the community from morning until late at night, and careful attention having been paid to details, all that is necessary to make the celebration a complete success is good weather. Based upon the plan followed on the occasion of the Coronation of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, with a number of extras thrown in, the programme is as follows:-

9.30 to 10.30 a.m. – Presentation of medals and chocolate to school children.

Patience

It’s a string in a knot,
Patience will untie it.

Patience can do many things;
Have you every tried it?

If it was sold, at any store,
I should like to buy it.

But you and I must find our own;
No one can supply it.

Bad News from a Whaler

Messrs W.O. Taylor & Co. have received a letter from Captain Connor, of the whaler Seduisante, dated Sukkerstopen, Greenland, 15ht May, in which he says – “I am sorry to inform you that Alexander Scrymgeour, while tending the main sheet in tacking ship, fell overboard and was drowned. We put out a boat immediately, but he sank before the boat could reach him”.

Scrymgeour, who was 30 years of age, resided at 3, West Port, Dundee and has left a widow.

Ex-Violet Player for Fulham

Charlie Craigie, the ex-Violet half-back, is going from Glossop to Fulham. When playing in Dundee a couple of season’s ago Craigie attracted the attention of the Derbyshire’s club officials, and right away he secured his place in the first team. He kept it all season. Last year however, Craigie was unfortunate, and did not appear so regularly in the Glossop first eleven. At a recent meeting of the English League Committee he had his transfer price reduced to £25, and there was a keen demand for his services.
