ssh There was no parade in Minneapolis
#5on st. Patricks day, but the anniversary
OF Erin's apostle was celebrated by the
wearers Of the green by going to divine
service in the morning and attending en-
tertainments in the evening. Almost
/ every parish in the city had it's own lit
erary, dramatic and musical entertain.
ment, and the halls were filed to over
flowing with lovers of Ireland who thor
oughly enjoyed the elaborate programs
THE 1R1sH-AMER1cAN BANQUET.
For the first time in the history of the
city banquet was given at the West
Hotel in the evening in honor Of the ma
tional anniversary. The few prominent
Irish Americans who had charge of the
affair deemed it high time for Minneap-
oils to follow the example of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis
and Detroit on the national anniversary,
and che success attending the initial ban
quet has encouraged them to make the
annual St. Patrick's Day banquet per-
manent feature of the days celebration
in the coming years. The Irishmen who
sat around the festive board at the West
on the evening of March II have con-
tributed to keep irish nationality alive
ia this Puritan city for MANY year.
The assemblage was a representative
gathering in every way, and included
men in every profession and branch OF
business, as the subjoined list will show.
The banquet was held in the ordinary
Of the hotel, the tables being set in the
shape Of a hollow square, with an extra
table in the center. Directly over and
in the rear of the head or center table
was placed green banner, bearing the
harp of Ireland, and on which was in
soribed the legend ERIN Go Bragh." At
the opposite end of the hall were placed
a Hibern1an banner and the stars and
stripes.
The front cover of the menu card bore
the following verse:
The stranger shall hear thy lament on his
plains; 81
The sigh of the harp shall be sent DER the
deep.
Till thy masters themselves, us they r1vet
thy chains,
Shall pause at the song OF their captive,
and weep.
Seated at the head tables were the fol-
lowing guests of honor:
