ST. PATRICK'S DAY. How it Was Celebrated in This City The Various Banquets Last Night Speeches, Toasts, Music, Etc.-The Michael Dav1tt Clubs Ball.
 St. Patrick's day was finely commemo- rated last night by the various societies and clubs to whom the memory of the green isle, it's orators, patriots and states men are specially dear. The lecture under the auspices of the Knights of St. Patrick is elsewhere reported.
 One of the most enjoyable of the many events which took place last evening was the seventeenth annual dinner given at Prokasky's by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. The affair was most successful in it's nature. The party numbering twen- ty-seven sat down at the long table, which had been prepared for them in the parlors over the cafe, soon after o'clock. The courses prepared were many, good in quality and we'll served. Music was ren- dered during the intervals by Professor Fitzgerald. The toasts were all pleasing and happily received. The following was the list:
