ST. PATRIcK's DAY.
IT'S CELEBRATION IN NEW ORLEANS.


-
IT'S CELEBRATION IN NEW ORLEANS.
Saturday, March 18th, Feast of st. Patrick,
was celebrated only as q religious festival in
this city, the civic and national celebration
being transferred to Sunday, the 18th. This
decision was arrived at because Saturday in
New Orleans is the busiest day of the week.
and it was thought that greater number of
persons would be able to take part in the
parade If it were postponed to the day follow
ing. This action was justified by the result,
and proved most fortunate from the fact that.
a. is generally the ease, there was heavy
shower of rain on st. Pstrick's Day, while on
Sunday we were blessed with as beautiful
weather as is ever seen even, in this fair
Southern land.
The several organizations attended Macs at
their respective churches, and by 12o'clock NJ.
were in line of procession on Canal street,
following order:
Hugh Flynn, Grand Marshal.
