On August LIST, in miserable weather,
the several events Of the annual Carrick-
on-Shannon regatta were carried out.
Throughout the morning a nasty mist
prevailed, and continuing until late in
the day, put damper on what might
have been otherwise the most successful
aquatic festival ever held at the town
on the Shannon. Several clubs travelled
down from Dublin, the University Rowing
Club, LITER Rowing Club and Dolphin
Rowing Club, and furnished excellent,
racing, which was thoroughly appreciat-
ed. The University Rowing Club had
day out, and monopolized the three open
events, though after a very severe strug-
gle in the Fights with the Dolphins. In
the ladies' cup the Liffey broke q stretch
er at the start and were never afterWard
in it. The evening wound up with a dis
play of fireworks. GIL

The Lady Superior of the Luarel Hill
Convent, Limerick, died on, Monday,
August 9Th, at the convent Of the order in
Bruff Her death will, to some extent,
be regarded as a sad sequel to the late
fatalities at the Laurel Hill Convent. The
deceased lady for years past had been in
very delicate health, and it will be re-
mem bered that this accounted for her not
having partaken of the usual dinner
which is supposed to have contained the
poison that caused the deaths of four Of
the inmates: but it is believed the shock
of the occurrence contributed to hasten
her DEATH L.
The Press Associations Limerick cor
respondent states that the Parnellites
there are considering the possibility of
again running John DAILY as a candidate
for Limerick City, on his late election
being voided, and will no doubt persevere
if they see their way to giving effect to
the amnesty movement by this course.

ed. Mr. Farrell did not desire to be a
