After the loyal toasts had been honoured, the toaat
of **The Imperial Forces," given by Mr Robert
Lindsay, Bearsden, was responded to by Sir Robert J
Cranston, who strongly advised all young men to be- '
come members of the new Territorial Force. Judge
Dobie proposed "Success to the Clan Lindsay Society,"
saying that the term " Clannish " wius one that they
should be proud of^ as being an expression of local
patriotism which was so desirable in any country. la
reply, the Chairman spoke of the discovery of an in-
teresting document throwing light on the mairiage of
David, first Earl of Crawford, to Elizabeth, daughter
of the King of Scotland. It was always known that
the first Earl had married the King's daughter, but no
record could be found as to her name, or anything
about her. The document was dated 1374, and had
been found in the Vatican by Dr Maitland Thomson. It
was a dispensation of marriage, addressed personally to
David Lindsay, son of Alexander, lord of thu lands of
Glenesk, and Elizabeth, daughter of the King, granted
by Pope Gregory on the ground that they were third
cousins. Mr R. J. Lindsay also replied.
Dr Lindsay, Glasgow, gave " The Health of the
Chief," the Earl of Crawford and the Rev. the Hon.
Edward Lindsay, his son, replied. He said they were
not a benefit society, and there was nothing of freemasonry
about it. They were met for the general
maintenance of the traditions of their family.
