After fifteen minutes Of the most ire
mendOus enthusiasm ever known IN a
theater, Miss Bessie Sudlow, we'll
known IN NIb.O's and other New York
theatres, came forward to sing the
Star Spgugled Banner" She seems
to have made hosts OF friends at this
side Of the ocean. She looked uncom-
monty well aud much more wOmanly
than when last saw her at home. She
sung the song splcndidly, though m an
ifestly affected by the great
crowd and the enthusiasm Of
tho tim. When she had
finished the applause was deafening.
Mrs. Dakin sent her a beautiful bOu-
quet, and the whole party banded down
a basket Of flowers Ornamented-and
wax flowers can be ornamented-with
the Stars and Stripes. Miss SudlOw
kissed the flag and sang the song gain.
! can hardly tell you, in the hope Of
credence, the scene that ensued. Our
people were very well Pleased-the
Irish wave bOundless IN their enthusI-
asm. Matters were not made easier by
the conductor Of the band. He played,
and the forces at his disposal beng
superb In number and skill, he played
macnifcently, "The Star Spangled
Banner. - Hal Columbia" TRAMP,
Tramp Yankee Doodle, Red,
White and Blue" and one Of the ne
gro melodies. The first two went on

Gum, who is a public man here,
that Tramp, Tramp had a political
significance IN ireland. This was soon
made manifest by the cheering with
which It was received, and the effect
was heightened when the audience,
numbering nearly 800, sang the last
