bagged the famous band Of Her. Britannia Majesty's
Guards, the redoubtable Pat soon sup
piled them with allies In the persons OF the Ma
ti0nal Irish Band. the German Grenadier Band,
the French Garde Repubhcaine Band and
last, but not least, the renowned little
Strauss, with his Austrian artistes. Pat, how
ever, was particular In his arrangements to remind
the honized Britons OF the days Of 76 by receiving
them on the anniversary Of the battle Of Bunker
Hill and showing them the monument, together

New Workers, with characteristic consldera-
