family claimed that there were not The
First Regiment, however, always had a
warm place in his heart, and he felt he

on. He spoke of the fact that there are
no jealousies or chickering's in the regiment
and he congratulated the men on their
good feeling. OF course, there is a feeling
of rivalry among the commands, but 1t
is friendly and highly commendable. He
congratulated the Greens on their good
showing and especially on the three ex-
cellent volleys fired at the Jasper Monu-
ment.
Mai. Karow said St Patrick's day in sa-
vannah had come to be almost city
holiday. and he was glad to be a party to
the celebration at all times. He dwelt
upon the record Of the Jaspers
Capt. Brooks made pretty lit;le
speech, in which he twitted Father Kelley
for his reference to st. Patrick, and his
not being a member of the Jasper Greens.
He said he expected Father Kelley TO
say that If St. Patrick were living at this
time his only regret would be that he vas
not a resident of Atlanta. If Father Kei-
ley had been converted from his Atlanta
spirit, Capt. Brooks thought the Greens
had truly done much.
Speeches were made by Capt. KOlshorn,
Capt. McLaws ana Capt Gaudry, in
which they took occasion to compliment
the Greens and speak Of the day they were
celebrating.
Lieut.. f. A. Leonard was called upon
for a song and responded with The Girl

Paymember John F. Harry gave the
recitation The Man of the Musket,' a

defend Atlantas modesty.
Private Dan j. Charlton recited THE
Georgia Volunteer in very happy man
ner. and Lieut.. Leonard sang Mr.. Null

If those present would join in the cho-
rus. Col. Lawton sang the old southern
air in a clear voice and the members join
ed in a hearty chords.
Lieut.. Gleason was called upon. He
said he was afraid he had almost been
forgotten, but in this case 1t was not for
getfulness. The lieutenant had been so
busy looking to the comfort of the guests
that the members were afraid of disturbing
him and hence their action in saving him
to the last. Lieut.. Gleason made a short
address and closed by reminding the men
that at the coming regimental fair he
hoped to see the Greens do as they had
always done-which would be well.
A standing toast to Capt. Flannery was
drunk and the company struck arm, ev-
erybody voting the occasion one of the
pleasantest in the history of st. Patrick
day celebrations.

Generally.
IL St. Patrick had landed in Savannah
yesterday he would have felt perfectly at
home. Everything was in his honor. AL
though not a legal holiday, business was
a secondary consideration, and the cele-
bration of the day was the main feature
in the minds of most people
The -Fitzsimmons fight, in which
such general interest was taken, was a
feature of the day. Shamrocks were ev-
erywhere. and Irish music was in the air
all day long. One enthusiastic Irishman
even suggested that Drayton street be
paved with shamrocks. The suggestion is
recommended to council
The only omission was the failure to
hang out the Irish flag from the city ex-
change time-honored custom of pre-
vious anniversaries of the day The
American nag was displayed but it seem
ed to droop and to mourn the lack Of com
panionship.
The Ancient order of Hibernians open
ed the day with high mass at St Patricks
church. The four divisions of the order
met at their hall at Bryan and Abercon
streets, from which point they proceeded
shortly after o'clock to st. Patricks
church, where high mass was celebrated
at 10 O'Clock. "A large crowd was present
at the church
Rev. Father Kennedy was celebrant Of
the mass, assisted by Rev. Father
Schlencke as deacon. and Rev. Father
Quinlan as sub-deacon. Rev Father Nc
Carthy, pastor of the church, was master
of ceremonies.
special service of music had
been prepared for the occasion, which was
rendered by the choir with fine effect. The
singing of Mrs. Younglove, Miss Angela
O'Byrne, Mrs Barber and Mrs. H. n. AL
tick was very much admired.
The eulogium upon ST. Patrick was de-
livered by Very Rev. Father Kelley, vicar
general, who dwelt upon the good lessons
to be learned from the life and work Of
the apostle. The discourse was a schol-
ariy one, and proved very interesting to
the audience.
