Not in a good many years, or, in fact, the
comparison may be made still more emphatic by

marked by such general toviality was last
nights banquet-the 116th anniversary festival
of the society. Over five hundred sons of Ire
land gathered in Delmonicos and in song and
speech recalled the glories Of their race. The
men Of the Emerald Isle were in a particularly
happy mood last night, remembering as they
did how much has happened in the last year
tending to give added honor To Ireland. and in
consequence more recognition of the day set
apart fer ccmmernorating Ireland's patron saint.
They recoIlected that in the South African war
Irish soldiers led by Irish generals have borne
the brunt OF the battle. have given increased
lustre to the traditional bravery and courage of
the Celt and that England's Queen. in recog-
milton of the prowess and achievements Of Irish
troops, has severed the red tape restrictions of
the English army office which forbade the en-
listed Irishman wearing the shamrock on St
Patrck's Day.
Because Of these things last nights dinner

the who attended the dinner gave vent to
the joyousness and pride which animated them.

In contending for his rights last nighc he in

be the free and independent country that she is
to-day; that her battles land and sea were
by generals and adTnirals Of Irish descent

of Independence, bar the incident of composing

ating the achievements the Irishman asserted
as belonging TO him save TO say that when he
got through there mighty little glory left

people who hug the belief to themselves that
