MARY'S DREAM [1]. Scottish, Air. The work of transplanted Austro-Hungarian composer Christoff Schetky, who embraced Scottish society in the late 18th century, and who composed many works in the national idiom of his adopted country. So assimilated did he become, and so jovial a company did he find, that he even founded in 1787 the 'Boar Club' at his favorite inn, Hogg's Tavern. The members of this convivial organization were all 'bores,' who 'grunted' their conversation in the comfort of their 'sty,' or room. The jar of punch became the 'pig', the old name for an earthenware crock.
