during the course of which he took oc-
casion to point with pride to the fact
that the sons of Erin have ever been
loyal to America and to American prin-

Mr. McGarrys remarks were well re-
ceived by those who had taken their
attention from the exhibits long enough
to gather in the space in front of the
stage and listen to his words.

eral minutes, after which Rosy Darling
