cumstances pleasant celebration OF St. Patrick'5
Day, as laid out on the programme Of the A. o.
H., was practically impossible. This society had
planned to give yesterday their first parade, eX-
pecting it to be very fine affair. Every arrange
ment had been made, and everything pointed 10
pleasant affair, and it was-barring the rain.
The people we're here, and they we're entertained
and the parade was given, though under diff
culties. The guests present were divisions from
La Sale, Utica and Streator, all of which were
represented by large dele cations and also the

took part in the parade, with the Ottawa Divls.

to the A. o. II. Hall, where P W. Gallagher,

evening the Ottawa Land League gave large

all was pleasantly spent, but there remains the
regret for what at might have BEEN but for the
wretched weather.
