through William OBrlen street. and
when it debouched into the new road
which leads to the new town the accla-
nations of the multitude rang out with
renewed enthusiasm. From such OF the
new houses as are inhabited the people
waved q welcome. AT the end of the
Mart low platform had been erected,
and as many of the visitors as it was
possible to make room for were accom-
modated with places upon it. At the
meeting Canon Cahill presided. Two
addresses were read to the visitors.
Que was short but expressive, and the
other gave an exhaustive account Of the
struggle on the Smith Barry property.
1t was read bv Mr.. Walter Dalton and
created quite an impression upon all the
visitors. The chairman then presented
Mr.. Picton, M F., to the meeting. His
speech was thoughtful and logical, and
was heartily received. After Mr.. Pic
ton came Lady Sandhurst, who gave a
sympathetic speech. full of kindly good
feeling. The new town had next the
good wishes of the lord mayor Of Dub
lin, who was received with very hearty
cheers. When Mr.. Michael Davitt rose,
the cheering broke out anew and con-
tinued for some moments. His speech
was short one. and at It's opening he
explained that he would only intervene
for few moments between the meeting
and the s'hero of the occasion" !" The
face that the first care of the committee
had been to house the poorest Of the
evicted tenants won from Mr.. Davitt a
warm tribute Of admiration. The reap
pearance of
MR., WILLIAM BRIEN
in the thick Of the fight was the signal
for one of those wild outbursts of cheer
ing that is heard nowhere except in
Tipperary. The long exulCant cry made
the place echo and re echo before the
well-known voice was heard calling out
In tones full of fintensity, MEN Of Tip.
;perary." The spirit which makes Mr..
iO'Brien's utterances so remarkable was
not absent on such an occasion, The
effort to make his voice heard by every
man in the crowd soon had It's effect,
and the speaker was compelled to pause
for few moments amid the warm svm-
athY of the people. AS proof of the
unlversality Of the sympathy aroused
by the struggle in TipperaIy, it NAV be
mentioned that Mr.. " Brien was COM
missloned by Partisan lady, Madame
Rafaloyich (whose sympathy with Ire
land is not of recent date), to hand to
Father Humphreys bank note Of 1000
francs for school feast for the school
children Of New TipperarY,. to be dis
tributed in equal portions between the
children of the Christian Brothers and
convent schools Mr.. O'Brien's speech
was, like the others, brief one, and
after concluding with the national as
plration, "God Save Ireland" he sat
down for few minutes. This con.
cluded the meeting, but the people did
not disperse, for the ceremony Of declar
ing the Mart open and making the poo
pie free of New Tipperary had vet IT,
be fulfilled, This Mr.. O'Brien per-
formed IN few words, and the visitors
were conducted through the Arcade. in
which the dining tables for the evening
banquet were laid. The interior Of the
building presented q gay aspect. The
evergreans and the flags and banners
quite transformed the place. After this
ceremony had been completed luncheon
was partaken of in Dobbyn's hotel, and
then flying visit was made to Aherlow
Glen, famous in song and story, and
now having new interest added to its
annals by the fact that at Ballykiskeen
a strip of country has been taken for the
purpose Of accommodate smith Bar
