WEARING OF THE GREEN.

WEARING OF THE GREEN.
F. ST. Patrick's Day Generally and
Pleasantly Commemorated.
The shamrock, typical of Ireland the
world over. was the municipal flower
yesterday. Thousands of ST. Paulites
who celebrated the natal day of Erin's
patron saint in no other way wore the
emblem, either in reality or in ribbons
of emerald hue. With the nationality
most interested the day was practical
holiday, and it may be regarded as a
tribute to the influence of the IrShman
in politics that the public offices were
almost closed. There was no public
demonstration arranged, as the Slushy
condition of the streets was a prohibit
ton to parading, but i'll dozen different
places last night high carnival was held
IN commemoratiOn of the day. The
largest assemblageS were at the Harris
theater and Cretin Pail, but in each of
the other places the hall was crowded
to repletion.
The entertainment at the Harris.
given under the auspices of st. James
parish, was extremely novel and en-
Joyable. 1t was of the character of a
minstrel programme, and it was nearly
midnight when it was concluded. l..
ID. Wilkes was the interlocutor, and the
programme opened with songs by Eu-
gene Melady, Ii. c. Mallory, f. W. Lee.
James Swift, James Moore, w. o.
Smith and c. n. Ludlow The part
was interspersed with regular minstrel
fun, and concluded with tableauX. The

The very enjoyable evening concluded
with the laughable Ethlopean farce,
''Quarrelsome Servants,
The capacity of Paul Martins opera
house was tested by the crowds which
turned out to attend the st. MichaeFs
church celebration. The programme
was pleasing mixture of Instrumental
and vocal music and recitatiOns. Rev
