The Irish Rife Team.

EduoT StOT:-"An lrtshman," who wrote q
on the action which his countrvmen pro-
posed 10 take on the occasion of the Irish
rifle teams visit to Washington, expressed
the broadness OF sentiment goes, and the
writer OF IT., whoever he may be, is not more
general and generous on that score than
others equally interested.
further from our minds than q narr0wness
OF spirit. We are inspired by proper motives.
A Becoming recognition from Irishmen is
due TO the Irish rifle team, and the manner
In which 1t is TO be done will reflect no dis
courtesy towards their good friends, the
Scotch and Australian and American teams
We owe to the Irish rifle team the ..,,.,..ant
reIationt which have grown up between the
people OF Ireland and America. 1t was not
until the American team visited Ireland that
the feelings Of the Irish towards the Ameri-
cans were properly understood and appreci-
atee. The more than magnificent reception
which was given 10 the American team, who
were looked upon as the Representative yes OF
the United States, was due In q great meas
ure TO the Irish team. It Is for this that we
mean TO mark their advent to the capital OF
America by kindly recognition. Let no ma
tive Irishman hold back from performing his
part TO make 1t worthy OF the occasion. 1t
will not interfere with the reception which
the Washington rife team is 10 accord To
them, and II will not mar anything OF II
either.
1t is from the class to which Messrs Miner
and Rigby belong that Ireland's champions
often come-the Butts, Blunders, and Gal
brsiths OF the present, the Tones, Emmetts,
and Sheares of the past.
