In speaking of the home of his heart
Judge Falligant said that instead of de-
scribing the history and growth of Savan-

cuperated." Tie alluded to the laying
out OF Hardwick, eighteen miles from Sa-
vannah, which two Governors of Geor-
gia declared should be the capt.

vailed Savannah before the Revolution

Nr James Byrne Of New York was in
troiuced to repond to the first toast, st
Patrick's Day" Mr.. Byrne began by
saying that it had never been said of the
people 81 the South that they forgot be-
cause it was no advantage 10 remember
How it is ia This section, he did not know
but in his section there are men who,
while welcoming men from foreign coun-
tries. wished that they should sever all
ties which connected them with their ma
tive countries. With this sentiment he
could only partially agree. The man Of
English ancestry could never forget the
land Of Shakespeare nor the man OF
French ancestry the lard of Napoleo on,
nor the man of Irish ancestry that Ire
land was the country OF Wolfe Tone,
Robert Emmett and Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald
Mr.. Byrne discussed eloquently the
source Of the Irishman devotion to the
'tould sod" and inquired what day could
be more appropriate for such a gathering
than the birthday of a saint who
had brought Christianity and civ
, ilization to Ireland and had
converted it without shedding
a drop of blood. ireland, he said, had
always shown respect for learning. The

While the rest of Europe was sinking with
barbarism, learning hourished in Ireland
and the Renaissance began there 700
years before il did in the rest of Europe.
in the sixth century ireland was filled
with schools and universities. Numerous
schools We're founded within a century
after the death Of ST Patrick and men
came from all over Europe to seek learn
ing and knowledge there.
Mr.. Byrne said that the one English
statesman who haG come out of the pres
ent war with credit was the under sec
rotary for war, George Wyndham. the
great grandson of Lord Edward F1tzger-
aid who died for ireland Roberts,
Kitchener and all the other distinguished

to the Last Toast.
On the time honored principle of saving
the best for the last the response of Mr..
Gazaway Hartridge to the toast The
After Dinner Speaker and His Opinion Of
War" had been placed last upon the list.
Many of those present recalled Mr.. Hart
ridges last appearance before the society,
just eight years before, on the occasion OF
the presence of Hon. David b. Hill of New
York, when he delivered such a telling and
witty address, and everyone was on the
qui yive for something equally good. They
were not disappointed.
Mr.. Hartrdge took It for granted in be-
ginning his remarks that his text gave him
a rowing commission with liberty to speak
of anything which might come to his
mind. With this idea in view he proceed
ed to discuss varied subjects from the Boer
war to Hibernian banquets, mOraizing in
his own peculiar vein and dropping many
witty observa tons. Incidentally running
up against The subject of the Spanish
flag Mr.. Hartridge said
while l do not believe in pressing a
falling man too far, nor in eXulting over
a foe already fallen it is a truth. this
standard floats less gloriously to-day.

yes. Dewey-that's the name. He is the

1t only needed the presence of Dewey,
himself, to complete the effect of this re-
mark.

that time many events have transpired.
