ST. PATRlCK'S DAY.
IT'S CELEBRATION BY THE IRIsHMEN oE NEW
ORLEANS.
Sunday, March 18th, was one of the most
beautiful days that ever dawned upon our
fair city, the sun shining out in all his spleh-
did, bis glory undmmed for even an inetant
by so much as passing cloud, while the
atmosphere was just cool enough to be invigo-
rating.
At an early hour in the morning, our many
Irish organizations assembled at their halls,
and with their banners and fsgs, proceeded to
their respec tive psrochial oh urches to attend
Mass.
At St. Patrick's Church the services were
grand. Solemn High Mass was sung by Very
Rev. Father Millet, " G. assisted by Rey. Mr..
Kenny as Deacon, and Rev. Mr.. Golden as sub
Deacon Rev. Father Charles Clark acting as
Master of Ceremonies. His Grace, the Most
Rev. Archbishop, was present and gave the
Pontifcal Blessing. The Panegyric of st.
Patrick was pronounced by the Very Rev. P.
F. Allen, Pastor. The music was in keeping
with the occasion, the fine choir being assisted
by Rosa D'Erins, whose splendid voice and
matohless performance on the organ, were uni
versally admired.

ceeded to Canal street, and having taken the
positions assigned them, at 1880. P N.
