THE SIXTY.NINTH REGIMENT.
The Origin of the Montreal Invitation
to the Regiment.

New YORK, June 10. a Montreal special
says the invitation to the Goth New York,
Irish regiment, to visit that city, is extended
by a section OF st. Patrick's society, and not
by the Irish people. 1t does not meet hear
~ response, and the fact is referred to that
the seth refused to parade in New York, at
of Wales.
An exciting meeting of st. Patricks socie-
ty was held in Montreal, last evening at
which reporters were soundly bcrated and
excluded, and it is understood after long
session it was decided to stand to the invita-
ton extended by its President.
In clubs and military circles in Montreal,
the invitation is looked on as a civil affair,
one in which tue Canadian members have
nothing to do, and the officers and men make
no record of it, and not a man would turn out
to welcome them, at least not AS fellow sol
diers and comrades.
