TIE EVENING SESSION.
1t was not until late in the afternoon
when the committee on credentials con-
cluded its work, after which the secret
session was adjourned until tomorrow
morning. AT 7:3O this evening the local
order of A. o. H., headed by the band,
proceeded to the Grand Central hotel
and escorted the delegation to the opera
house. In few minutes every seat
and every inch of standing room was
taken, and the crowding jam still waited
without, unable to gain admittance. The
of the stage, towards the right, and the
speakers, vocaliSts and officers of the
order filed out upon the stage and seated
themselves in Semi-circle, while the
band played national airs. The master
of ceremonies introduced Father
Stemper, who made a few brief re-
marks, welcoming the delegates to the
city and hoping all present would enjoy
pleasant evening. John S. Donahue
was then introduced, and sang an Irish
national song, after which Miss Emma
Hagerty, of st. Paul, sang selection,
and for an encore responded with
''COme Back to Erin After another
selection by the band Hon. c.
ii. Gallagher was introduced, and
for nearly an hour held the
audience in raptures with his
eloquent portrayal of the condition of
manacled Ireland. He was frequently
interrupted by applause, and when the
Gladstone were referred to in glowing
terms by the speaker, the vast audience
cheered and applauded until the air
grew thick and heavy. Following the
address. Miss Hagerty and Mr.. Donahue
sang a duet, ''Sweetly the Moonlight
The band struck up an operate air, and
the large audience filed out, and the
tired delegates sought their couches.
