cantions as heretofore were taken bv
the authorities in Tralee to prevent
demonstration. which was never in
tended to be held IN connection with
the anniversary of the judicial murder
Of Allen, Larkin and O'Brlen. Extra
police were drafted into the town, and
large bodies of them were stationed
from an early hour in the morning until
late that night at and near Rath- church
ward, where handsome memorial cross
was erected to the memory Of the mar
tyrs, some years ago, by the National
lists of Tralee. This ridiculous display
OF armed policemen, did not, however,
deter the people from carving out their
1ntentionf, namely. going to the church,
yard and Offering up silent prayer
for the eternal repose of the souls OF
the departed three. Shortly after mass
the head constable called to the rooms
Of the Young Ireland society and
cautioned the members against holding
any demonstration or procession, add
ing that there would be no objection to
the people gong quietly" aud visiting
the churchyard; but he was informed
that whatever action they intended to
take would be taken without consulting
him or seeking his permission,
