 Judging by the questions asked and re- marks made it appears to be prudent to state that there will be no refreshments served free, to the children nor anybody | else, except to the out of town guests and others who shall be personally invited to dine, by the Executive Committee, or those in charge.
 People asked to contribute food or money for a dinner, will understand that it is for the band and the c. A. R. men | and those who serve it. c. E. Hawley, | +. Troy, J. l.. Sanford, G. Graham and A. w. Bassett will make arrangements and receive the guests at St Patrick $ ! hall. The money subscribed up to this date will no more than pay for the band and decorations and other necessary ex- penses of arrangements. It would be simply impossible for the committee to undertake to feed the multitude; and it picnic, which is very important factor of the celebration, is held every year fol the benefit of the parish.-[Per Order 1 Executive Committee.
