Personally. Lord Mayor Shanks Is
fine type of the Irish gentleman, being
above the average height, and inclined
to be pOrtly, He possesses an easy and
| agreeable presence, and looks and talks
with the air of a prosperous business
man. In politics he is an ardent advo-
cate of home rule, and he has an abid-
ing faith in the policy of Gladstone,
which he thinks Will be crowned with
ultimate success. Speaking of his visit
to the worlds fair, he said 1t was the
supreme revelation of the progressive
spirit of the century, and personally he
has no language to adequately eX-
press his delight and surprise.
He does not attach much significance
to the present exchange of cour-
tesies between Russia and France,
and on continental and international
politics he is inclined to be guarded.
This is his third visit to the United
States, and he expressed himself as
more than ever pleased with the mag
Eiticent growth and enterprise of the
country, and especially SO with the
loyalty shown by his countrymen to the
United States government. lie does
not regard the outlook for European
war as favorable, for the reason that the
powers are on a peaceful footing and
the atmosphere is that of tranquility.
Speaking of the race between the Vigil
liant and Valkyrie he commended the
superior qualities of the American craft
and had no hesitation in saying that the
race was won on its merits. In gem
eral way, he stated that the affairs of
Ireland are ID more prosperous con-
dltlon than for many years past.
