est civil and religious liberty ever vouchsafed
to men, enjoying freedom distinguished from
every other land-'ruling without power, yet
unresisted and irresistible; undisturbed by
anarchy, yet completely obeying the will OF
the governed"
In the very nature of things the American
heart should beat in unison with every at
tempt at popular government wherever made.
Approaching fully the blessings we enjoy we
naturally take pride in the development in
other lands of the republican principles which
we profess and practice Wherever there is
oppression of the masses we sympathize with
the oppressed. Wherever there is wel-regu-
lated, earnest, gradual development OF the in
telligence and power of the masses and con-
certed endeavor to place government in the
hands OF those most commemorative people
themselves-we rejoice at it.
Whenever chieftain in the ever-continuing
conflict for human liberty falls, whatever his
faith, his tongue or his lineage, whether he die
upon the snowy plains OF Poland, among the
classic isles OF Greece, under the mild Italian
skies, upon the vineclad hills of France or
amid the mountain fastnesses or emerald val
leys OF Ireland, America hastens to attest her
love of liberty and her affection for the hero
who wages battle in her behalf. Shall we,
as Americans, who have achieved our own
freedom by sacrifice of blood, our own, and of
blood freely drawn from other lands; shall we
who have freely lent sympathy, money, arms
and men to other revolutionary States, refuse
our sanction to the peaceful, heroic, sublime
effort of Ireland in the cause of human liberty?
Freedom, magnanimity, humanity, christian
lty, blessed memories OF the past, irresistible
impulses of the present, lofty hopes for the
future throughout all generations, in all climes
earth and heaven forbid.
In this connection l have often thought that
this sentiment was most beautifully and ap-
propriately recognized In the conduct of the
French people in the offering made to the
people of the United States of the colossal
statue of Liberty Enlightening the World"
At the entrance to our gTandest metropolitan
harbor this symbolical figure stands as the
embodiment of the Nations sentiment, as the
expression of the Nations voice, as a repre-
sentative OF the Nations hopes and prayers for
the universal emancipation of human kind;
AS the symbol stands, facing the storms and
pillows of the Atlantic, bidding welcome to its
storm-tossed travellers, SO may in reality the
heart and voice and sentiment of the Ameri-
can people look out upon the ocean of popular
strife for self-government, and so may they
welcome the peoples OF the world into the haven
of popular government after they have thrust
aside the trappings of tyranny, and so may
they continue to do
Till the war drum throbs no longer and the battle
flags are furled

magnificent exhibition of Irish Jig and
hornpipe dancing was then given by
Messrs. Keller and O'Connor Both gem
tlemen were in full dress with green
cravats and knee-breeches. Their dancing
was a marvel. Few queens of the ballet
would be able to keep time to the peculiar,
exacting measure of the ancient dance as
well. Many of the evolutions were most
intricate and difficult, while all were grace
full. and bursts of applause rewarded the
dancers for their skill.
Mr.. Hood then sang "a Hundred Faith
oms Deep" being followed by Miss Kir-
by in Erin, the Tear and the Smile in
Thine Eye" The singers were accompan-
led on the piano by Miss Marie Giorgiani,
organist of the Old Cathedral.

war times was then thrown on the canvas
The applause during the Irish views had
been loud and long, but when the more
familiar scenes of the Unions struggle for
freedom made their appearance cheer
upon cheer made the Pavilion ring. Sew
eral portraits of American generals and
war-heroes were next displayed, the en-
tertainment closing with grand dissolv-
ing view in the midst OF which the
Nations eagle tapped his wings to the
measure of the Star Spangled Banner"

An overture, consisting of fantasia of
Irish airs, rendered by Cassasa's orchestra
opened the evening exercises. MIR. Ban
herman then made brief Introductory
address, bidding welcome to all present in
few weil-chosen words, and expressing
the hope that all might enjoy themselves.
Mr.. Woods then gave spirited render
ing of McCann's typical Irish song 30 Don

poem, written for the occasion by Howard
V. Sutherland, was read by Leo Cooper:

radiated by the golden glory of Hibernia's
sunburst.
The afternoon programme was nov
city in its way. There were no speeches,
no poem, no oration; but the volleys OF
applause, which at frequent intervals
shook the old pavilion to its foundations,
certainly went far to prove that the cele-
bration was success. Roncovieri, the
man who as a trombone-player used to
make artists and ladies rave, was there
with his well-drilled band of forty pieces,
and under his able direction the overture
of Irish airs was delicious dream of per-
feet harmony combined with melodies
which all the audience knew by heart.
The overtare terminated with a glorious
fortissimo rendering of "The Harp that
Once Through Tara's Halls" the louder
instruments carrying the melody, while
fife, piccolo and flute We'd with each other
in producing a pearl-like cascade of in.
tricate variations.
AS the first bars of the ancient song
were heard the pavilion was suddenly
darkened, and on a canvas 35x35 feet in
area appeared stereopticon picture of
Ireland's apostle. The majestic pose of
the noble figure, robed in the dignified
attirements of the early Christian epis-
copate was striking in its simple yet i'm
posing beauty. A magnificent series of
views then followed each other in rapid
succession, all of Ireland's most famous
monuments and scenes of beauty passing
in review before the oeholders' delighted
gaze, while the band rendered selections
from the compositions of Celtic musicians,
ancient and modern.
At intervals the light was admitted in
order TO give the musicians breathing
spell and to give place to the numbers of a
we'll chosen vocal and literary programme.

tions being very large and the music un-
usually fine. There was no parade, and
perhaps no one missed it, as the omission
was amply supplied by continued round
of entertainments of various kinds.
At the old Woodward's Pavilion the
afternoon was devoted to fine vocal and
band concert and exhibition of stereopti-
con views, while in the evening the
Hon. J. F. Sullivan delivered an Grafton

albeit tinged with romantic veneration
for the home of his ancestors.
The Knights of st. Patrick gave a sump-

James parish gave an entertainment, the
California Garrison of the Regular Army
and Navy Union held military and naval
drill and gave its third anniversary ball at
the Mechanics Pavilion, besides which
other entertainments were given by several
of the various religious and Irish patriotic
associations.
The day was perfect, though a little
warm, and the night clear and cool. So
many people in gala attire were on the
streets that the City had quite festive
look. Everywhere the verdant folds OF
Erin's flag hoated in the air. while on fair
bosoms and on brawny chests reposed the
little shamrock which St Patrick used in
