ST. PATRIOK's DAY IN NEW YORK AND
VICINITY.
st. Patrick's day was celebrated with
more than usual display among the Irish
citizens in New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City, Newark, and other neighboring
localities. In New York city the pro-
eession consisted OF forty thousand men,
contained thirty five bands, and was
two hours passing City Hall, where it
was reviewed by Mayor Hall. The wea-
ther was very fine for the 18th Of March,
and immense crowds thronged the
streets to witness the display. There
were large PROFESSIONS also in Brooklyn
and Jersey City. Religious services were
held Wednesday morning in the principal
Catholic churches Of New York. The
festivities concluded there that night
with public banquet. A earmsu, while
attempting to cross the line Of the pro-
cession, was badly beaten by the police.
With that exception, good order pre-
vailed throughout the day,
IN NASHVILLE.
The great mass of the Irish population
OF Nashville Joined Wednesday in the
celebration of the anniversary Of st. Pat
rick's death. After High Mass at the
Catholic Cathedral, an address was de-
livered by Bishop Feehau. Subsequent
ly the Fenisns msFehed in procession,
aud at night enjoyed q splendid ball at
the Courthouse. st, -Joaeph's Total Alb
stinsnee Society had q ball at the Acad-
emy buildings. Altogether, the display
exoelled any similar celebration ever
held in Nashville,
IN LOUISVILLE.
The whole of the Irish population of
Louisville participated in the observance
on Wednesday of st. PAtriek's Day.
The procession numbered several thou
SANG, and embraced the Fenisn Broth
erhoOd, wearing green searis, and march
ing in the van. Following them, and at
the head of st. Michaeps Benevolent So
ciety, was an omnibus drawn by six fine
gray horses, and bearing the thirty-two
little girls representing the counties OF
Ireland. The United sons Of Erin, fol-
lowing next, wore green scaFfs with the
harp and shamrock. The balance Of the
procession was made up Of citizens, in
carriages, on horseback, or afoot. At
aight panegyric on St. Patrick was pro-
nounced at the Dominican Church by
Father Rooney, and at st. Louis Hall
Rev. J. p. Ryan lectured on "St. Patrick
aud his lab0rs." R'dgawey Cifoie OF the
Fsniau RrotheEhodd closed the celebrs-
Iion by great ball at night At Masonic
Temple.
IN ST. LOUIS.
The gathering in st. Louis was ry
large, the procession comprising every
Irish society and organization in that
city. Many thousands cf peacesble, or
derry and well dressed peOpls psrtiei-
psted, and the dsY closed ss it COM
meneed, ereditably to the Irish people Of
st. Louis,
IN CHICAGO.
The vast Irish population of Chicago
were out in force. All the societies mus
tered in force and We'd with each other
in decorations, banners, uniforms and
appearance. Balls and parties, lectures,
sermons, grand religious services, all
we're availed of to give ecIdt TO the day,
and il possible, make it more memorable
than any OF the St. Patrick anniversaries
that preceded it. In this they succeeded
are TO be taken for granted. The cele-
brRtiOn was characterized by the utmost
order and decoFum,
IN AUGUSTA, GA.
The celebration Of the anniversary of
Irelsnd's Patron Saint at Augusts, Ca,
was most appropriate. We learn from
the Banner of the South that, besides the
procession and religious services at the
Church, in the day, there was, in the
evening, Grand Sacred Concert given
in the Church for the benefit of the
organ fund. A couple Of statues were
blessed, and Father Ryan delivered q
brief lecture appropriate to the occasion.
The programme for the Concert was 6
very attractive one, and embraced some
of the CHOICEST gems of sacred music,
rendered by some of the best professional
and amateur musical talent Of the city.
IN ATLANTA, GA.
The Hiberniau Benevolent Society OF
Atlanta celebrated the day in an appro-
briste manner. A procession OF the so
ciety was formed, headed by band o
music, and passed through the principa
streets. Al half past twelve an ORATOR
was delivered in the hall OF Representa-
tiyes by Judge o. A. Lochrane.
