\ be Afforded TO any OF them % address this Anner
party. They were in ebted TO the sprlteG gen
tlemen TO whom the establishment belonged
| (cheersl-lor tie magnificent entertainments that
| they had spread before them al a moments
notice. He was satisfied, however, that in the
| performance OF what they considered hospitality
and gratifying DUTY Messrs. Curry and Cotton
felt tl2t they we're not alone representing their
own feelings but the public feeling upon the occa-
sion. (Uheers.l the desire OF Ireland was to
know the Americans who had favored us with the
pleasure OF their company-they who came de-
puted from the Reception Committees. as, 10 point
OF fact, by the people OF Ireland, that they
had received them, and received them with
the greatest pleasure and qualification. And
II was their hope and great expectation that
during their visit 20 this country 1t would be
made such an occasion as would be not alone
qualification to Thousands but eradication TO
the country they represented. (Cheersl the
gentlemen who formed the team all tamil

frlends When the Irish team were in America

possible TO picture 10 them the way IN which q
lew gentlemen who went out 10 shoot IN the rtne
match wero received IN America. tCaeers.l AS
Well and as beautifully as the descriptions OF the
