inaugurated at st. Bridget's Hall last

gathered needed no artificial stimulus.

greeted the speakers. Every seat In the
great hall was occupied. Hundreds un-
able to find seats remained standing In
the aisles and in the rear. the vast
assemblage was over1owing with en-
thusiasm, and when Allan H. McDermott,
accompanied by Police Justice Robert
Davis, pushed his way up one OF the
aisles leading to the stage, the pent-up
enthusiasm burst forth in reiterated roars
of applause. Later on the appearance OF
Governor Albeit, escorted by Police JUS
tice Michael j. O'Donnell, again brought
forth a tornado of cheers from the lusty
throats of the rising audience.

In front to the left of the stage and en-
livened the meeting with occasional pa
triotic airs.
