The Sixty-ninth New York regiment,
under command Of Col. Duffy, marched
in the Dewey parade last Saturday.
About 700 men turned out, and their
appearance along the line was greeted
with the enthusiastic cry OF "Hurrah
for the Irish" Nothing has appeared
in the New York daily papers about the
exclusion OF the Irish Volunteers from
the parade, though Father Cronin, OF
the Buffalo Union and Times, refers to
it by saying that, while refusing a
place to men who fought for the Stars
and Stripes, the managers obsequious-
ly begged the Toronto Highlanders to
take part in the demonstration.
