THE GREENS AT DINNER.
THE GALLANT CORPS SEMI AN
NUAL BANQUET.


The Irish Jasper Green's semi-centennial
banquet last night was successful beyond
the fondest anticipation of those who in.
augursted it. The scene at Catholic Library
hall was brilliant almost beyond descrip-
tion. The bright uniforms Of the soldiers
showed with striking effect under the gas
light amid the handsome decorations, which
were the hight of artistic skill and taste.
The stage was draped on each side with a
mammoth United States and Irish flag,
with the state flag of the Greens hanging
in the center over the garden OF handsome
plants, which hid Cobb's orchestra from the
audience On the north side OF the stage
was a large board with "ls42" upon it, and
on the south side q similar board bearing
the figures 1882"
THE DECORATIONS.
From the center Of the hall large
United States flag waved gracefully, ard
Topped around the walls were streamers Of
green ard orange. Across the gallery hung
several large flags, Irish, United States and
confederate Wreaths Of laurel leaves en-
oircled the gas jets and small plants set OFF
the window sills. Over the entrance were
the pictures OF Capt. Ward, the late Capt
Mcmahon and Capt. Flsnnery, hung above
three laurel wreaths. Gen. Pat Cleburnes
picture hung on the south wall and Robert
Emmerts' was on the north wall and small
green flags peeped out fr ON the ceiling sup
ports.
The scene was enhancing and will always
be remembered by those who had the
good fortune to attend the banquet. Moth
ing has been seen 20 equal it herein years,
and will hardly ever be seen again for
long time.
