_comtes_ed_oi hipc, white and or-inraoni silk, bealrtifniiy emblazoned with 'gilt letters, and handsomely painted with appropriate figures. The one contained the Arms of the Glengarryand the Gienplgdgie families quartered, surmounted with their crests,
and supported by two Hi hianders, one
Queen's color, contained the Clown allow.- the Thistle, surrounded by n laurel wrt-uiii with the title of the reginicnt in gold iri- ters inscribed llpon it.
On presenting ihc colors, Mrs. lllnclion-
