LINE OF MARCH.
The procession thus formed, moved up
Second street to OvertOD. west to Main,
south to Vance, east TO DeSoto, thence
north to st. Patrick's church, where the
usual services were observed, after which
the procession filed up DeSoto 10 Beale,
west 10 Second, north to Adams, where
the societies disbsnded. We need hard.
~ say that the procession was in the
highest degree a success. The Irish
Volunteers, under command OF Captain
George r. Phelan, pres ented very
handsome and soldierIy appearance,
their marching and alignment chal-
longing the critical attention and
enCOmiums of the hundreds who upon
the streets had learned on rough fought
fields the duty Of soldier. The knights
Of IuniSfail were also conspicuous in
their handsome uniforms ard plumed
bats for knightly bearing, and thejI
mRneuvers were much admired, effected
as they were with solaieriy precision
and prompt response TO the word OF
command that lost nothing by contrast
with the Volunteers. The relief and
total abstinence societies also made 8
most cTeditable display, increasing the
effectiveness CT q turn out" that re-
fected infinite credit upon our Irish
iellOw-citizens.
AT THE CHURCH.
At the appointed hour the procession
fled into st. Patrick's church, on the
corner Of DeSotO and Linden streets,
ard soon that edifice was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The church and altar
were appropriately and tsstefully deco
rated, Father M'Namsrra, assisted by
several priests, conducting the ceremo-
MES. The choir, under the dictatorship

ed the choir sang DGclIGUeT'S Mass,
when the appropriate service Of the day
was observed, Father M'NamarTa de-
liveIing an eloquent discourse upon the
Virtues and sanity character Of the
patron saint in honor of whose memory
the day was celebrated. After the dis
course the choir sang the Otertory-
Cor AmOriS-in excellent manner. The
service being over, the assemblage had
risen to their feet to withdraw from the
church, when Mrs. TOmlinsOn sang The
Harp that Oacs ThTO' 1GrG'S Hall,
which, being rendered so excellently, ar
rested the movement of the assemblsge,
who remained standing, seemingly
spelI-bOund by the sweet voice and
{. uching patnOs with which that lady
delivered the song. Mr.. Levy then gave
81. P,ltricE's Day az the Morning, Gil
the organ, t. the irspirl:ing strains OF
which the church was soon emptied, the
