Patriotic Irishmen are wearing the
green to-day. Shamrocks are to be seen
in many button holes, and loyal Irish
men are honoring the memory of st.
Patrick, to whom the day has been de-
voted for fit and proper observance in
commemoration Of his great labors for
Ireland.
Were 1t not that March IT falls this
year on Sunday, the day would be sig
nally observed. The sacred nature of Sun
day. however, prevents such displays as
are usually made by Irishmen on the
cay of all others in the year that is re-
gsrded with particular pride and kept
with such patriotic enthusiasm.
The exercises to-day commemorative of
st. Patrick will be confined to the mass
to be held at 1880 O'Clock at st. Patricks

will be confined to attendance upon the

Rt. Rev Bishop Kelley viii deliver the
panegyric on St. Patrick, which will be
feature of the service. The priests Of
st. Patrick's will officiate in the conduct
OF the mass. Besides the members of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, there will
doubtless be a great many Irishmen in
attendance upon the services, and the
church will probably be filed.
Observances tomorrow will be OF a
secular character. The military will en-
ter largely in the honor that Is done
the memory of Irelands patro saint, the
TWO Irish companies having decided TO
mbine for a parade under the command
of Capt. P. F. Gleason of the Irish Jas
per Greens, who will act as major Lieut.
w. j. Kehoe of the Emmett Rifles will
be battalion adjutant. Capt. e. A. Leon

while the Greens will be commanded by
Lieut.. ]. F. Mccarthy.

to East Broad. to Broughton, to Dray-
ton, to Bay, to Bull, passing around the
west side Of Johnson Square, to Brough-
! ton, to West Broad. to Liberty, to Bull
and thence to Madison Square, where
| three volleys will be fired by the battalion
| from the west side of the Jasper monu-
ment, after which the march will be re-
! sumed out Bull to Castor, to Drayton, to
| Hall, to Abercorn and thence to the arm
| DRY, where the parade will be dismissed.
After the parade the Greens will be
the guests of Capt. Gleason in their qaur-
tiers at the armory. Their affairs of this
character are always pleasant, and the
members of the company are looking for
ward to the concluding feature of the
day with great pleasure. The Emmets
| will have an entert ainment in their quar-
| ters after the parade.
| 1t is expected that both the companies
will have many of their members in line
! for the parade. Interest In the event is
keen, and arrangements to get off from
their business have already been made
| by many.
The day will be signalized too, by the
| Hibernian Society. The annual meeting
| of the Society will be held at II O'Clock
tomorrow morning in it's rooms at the
| Hussars Club, when the special committee
appointed at the ante-anniversary meet
! ing some ten days ago viii report upon
officers to serve the ensuing year It
is seldom that there is change made in
the officers of the Society, and none is
anticipated on this occasion. A few 9TH
er business matters will be considered at
the meeting.
The annual banquet of the society will
be held at the De Soto tomorrow night.
when it is thought some 125 members and
| guests will be seated. Six of the speak
ers who are down for the regular toasts
are non-residents of Savannah, and I'M
usual interest is felt in the banquet for
that reason. 1t is probable that Senator
Clay will come from Marietta to attend
the banquet, though a definite statement
from him to that effect has not yet been
received. he was written by President P.
w. Meldrim, who conveyed an invitation
and the Senator promised to attend if
possible.
