,-iion orders ,,ere issued to the effect that the
ha+talions of artillery commanded by Majors
Colin Y G. Forbes and Smith are directed TO

On September 10, 1924, the regiment paradeo
under command of Colonel Alexander NJ Muir
for review by General Lafayette, and later pre-
sented to him q handsome sword and belt. de
scribed III orders as "a small token of the esteem
in which he is held by them for his private
worth and DISTINGUISHED services during the war
which gave independence to the country In
accentine the gift General Lafayette said:
With the highest pleasure and gratitude / re-
ceiye this most valuable present from a dlS-
tingUiShtd corps of citizen soldiers, every one
of whom knows that swords have been given to
men to defend liberty where it exists, to conquer
it when it has been invaded by crowned and
privileged usurpers. Accept, dear colonel, and
let all the officers and soldiers of your corps ac-
cept. my most affectionate thanks.
The abolition riots in 1880 and the great fire
gave the 9th Regiment opportunities for public
service. When the war with Mexico broke out
the 9Th Regiment offered its services to the
federal government through Colonel Ebenezer
Jessup. jr.. but enough troops had already been
excepted, and the offer declined.
From that time forward the history of the
regiment contained little of exciting nature.
There were reviews and parades, and the var-
Gus companies held meetings in their rooms,
but the regiment had armory. In 1913 new
element came into the 9th Regiment which
made itself manifest for the first time at
meeting which took place at the Shakespeare
Hotel At this meeting the revolution in France
was discussed, but the real object of the 18th

S F.'s
The writer said also that the organization was
being used for political purposes by men who
made politics trade. and 'as a consequence a
powerful and promising organization has been
stripped of its boased unity of action, if not of
purpose"
The S. F.'s remained a part of the regiment
until 1888, when they transferred to the
69th Regiment and the 9th disbanded. But
there was a means at hand for the restoration
of the 9th Regiment. one foreign element had
caused its disruption, and another similar ele-

York at that time was the 55th Regiment,

land and to decide upon the best means for
complishing the freedom of that unhappy coun-
try" Captain George a. Hussey in his history
of the 9th Regiment says:
Many eloquent speeches made, notable
among which was one by Michael T. O'Connor
Phelan the pertinent question: Can you fight
as well as you have spoken?"
The result of the meeting was the organza-
ton of a brigade under the title Of Irish Re
publican Union" The first company was re
cruited from dealers in Washington Market and
named the Mitchell Guard" When, in
1880, this company enrolled in the State
militia it became the third company of the 9th
Regiment.
The Irish Republican Union was really an in
cpent army of liberation, and each company
named for some distinguished Irishman
But it was deemed advisable to have the or
ganization incorporate a part of the State
militia. and this was accomplished in May, 1850
when it became the 9th Regiment.
On st. Patrick's Day, 1851, the regiment pa
raded in honor of St. Patrick and this was the
first military celebration of St Patrick's Day in
New-York. At that time nearly every member
