Washington the frozen Delaware. Some stood
barefooted and in rags at Valley Forge, and
with him they shared the crowning glories OF
Yorktown.
In later day, they stood with shields in the
fierce conflict OF CherubuscO. With Scott they
climbed the Heights OF Chapultepec and as
sisted in carrying the glory OF American arms
into the sacred precincts OF the Montezumas:
And again, when the grandest governmental
fabric OF the worlds history seemed to be
trembling in the balance, and when it was
feared it might be dissolved into its constitu-
ent elements, men of Irish blood went forth
in companies, in regiments, in brigades, by
thousands upon thousands, to battle for the
integrity of the Republic and the perpetua-
ton of our liberties. We know that they stood
in solid phalanx beside that hero Thomas
Francis Meagher when riyaIling the charge OF
Balaklava; they scaled st. Marys Heights at
Fredericksburg 1900 strong and left a thou
sand dead upon the field in proof of their 10y
atty to the Republic.
We know that their stout hearts and brave
arms were with that herOwho never knew defeat
on that eventful day when picking up the strag-
Cling remnants OF routed army in his ride
from Winchester to Cedar Hill, Phil Sheridan
immortalized himself and endeared himself
forever to his countrymen. And besides their
services on land and sea, we know that men OF
Irish blood rendered distinguished service in
that council chamber from which issued
the second Magma Charta, the greatest charter
OF human liberty ever formulated. which de-
clared that 'sthe American colonies were, and
OF right out to be, free ana independent
statesn
During the time of their severest struggles
the people of this country have always had
the moral support and encouragement of the
Irish people. When, Ill 1771, Benjamin Frank
lin visited Dublin and came in contact with
the leading patriots of the Irish Parliament,
he wrote to his friends in America:
"I find them disposed TO be friends of
America in which endeavor to confirm them
with the expectation that our growing weight
might in time be thrown in their scale and by
joining our interests with theirs more equi-
table treatment from England might be OBJ
tanned for themselves well as for u.s."
In l775 Chatham asserted that Ireland on
the colonial question with America to
man. In the same year the colonists set such
high value on Irish sympathy and so truly
understood its extent and influence that the
Continental Congress addressed the Irish peo-
pie in this language:
"You have been friendly to the rights of
mankind and we acknowledge with pleasure
and gratitude that the Irish nation has pro-
duced patriots who have highly distinguished
themselves in the cause of humanity and OF
America. We know that you not without
your grievances. We sympathize with YOU in
your distress. We hope that the patient abid-
ing in the weak may not always be forgotten.

Moore's ballad. "Let Erin Rem EN- ber,"
and Lovers rollicking song, "The Low
backed Car" were then given in q charm
ing style by Miss Mary 1. Sullivan, who
was enthusiastically encored.
The Hon. J. F. Sullivan, orator of the
day, then delivered the oration. As the
Judges well-rounded periods and glowing
words flooded the old pavilion, cheers and
applause were frequent.
Judge Sullivan said:
We are here to proclaim that Ireland is not
dead, and to add our annual testimonial to
the unyielding strength of the Irish race In
common with millions of the race, we conse.
crate this day to the memories, and the hopes
OF that greenest isle of all the seas, sweet Inis-
fail-the island of destiny. Though seven GEN.
turles have run their cycling course since Nc
Murrough's treachery and Strongbow's blight
ing invasion, the robber conqueror has not
stripped the Gael of the sacred feeling that the
soil he treads on is the immemorial inheritance
OF uncounted generations OF heroes and legis-
lators and saints.
Who are we here assembled? We are citi-
zens of the great Republic. some, like myself
born lion the soil TO the heritage of liberty
and others by choice and assumption of alle-

Zens to do with the political condition of Ire

AAmlLToN's FAST MILE.

Greater Victories.

Ever since Chairman Gideon of the rao-
Ing board of tho l.. A. W. accented the
one mile record of minute 80 1-5 seconds
made by William W. Hamilton Of Denver
wheelmen have talked of but little else.
The favorable conditions of the event were
presumably fully considered by the board,
and the decision was taken as final proof
that Hamilton Is Justly entitled to rank
hrst among the speedy wheelmen of the
world.
The fact that the Denver lad Ia only 81
years old has given rise to the prophecy
that he has not reached tho limit of his
