wi1l leave Massachusetts for the war-that
is to say, Of those thus far organized.
Tie regiment made q triumphant march
through the city On its route to the point
Of embarkation, and the ovation given to
it was something to remember. It was
much like what the New York papers described
as the march Of the C9th from that city. All
The Celtic population Of the city and suburbs
was out. The procession vas headed by near.
II thousand Sons Of Eriu in citizens dress,
eager to do honor to their friends and broth |
ers In er1ns. All along the line Of march en-
thusiastic 1riEhn1en ano 1.ishWomen cheored |
and shouted till the regiment had passed, and
then ran to another point on the route to cheer
and shout again. And not content with keep
irg along on the sidewalks, abreast Of the sol
diers, the men and women thrust themselves
into the ranks, overcoming all resistance OF
the constituted authorities, and m srch51
proudly along between the platoon, to the
music Of ISL Patrick's Day Ia the M9raiag."
