During the course of the evening, a telegram was received from the Kilmarnock Burns Club in the following terms:
"We wish you all a joyful meeting;
Then surely you'll be your pint-stoup,
And surely, I'll be mine,
We'll drink to Scotland's glorious Bard,
For auld Lang-Syne."
The following was the reply sent:
"And here's to them that like oursel'
Can push about the jorum,
And here's to them that wish us well,
May a' that's guid watch o'er them."
