At the weekly meeting, on Aug. %
OF the executive committee of the
Cork international Exhibition, for
1902, Right Hon. Edward Fitzgerald
lord mayor, presiding, the chairman
said that he had just received letter
from far-away San Francisco, which
he was sure would give them consid-
erable satisfaction. 1t was from the
Hon. James d. Phelan, mayor of San
Francisco, expressing his good wishes
for the success Of the Forthcoming ex-
position in Cork, and enclosing his
personal subscription of EGO ($1OO) to-
wards the fund for the exposition. The
reading of the letter was received with
loud applause, and the lord mayor said
there was a genuine Irish ring about
it. He was sure, although he had not
the honor of his personal acquaintance,
that Mayor Phelan, must have good
Irish blood in his veins. (Applause.)
The secretary was directed to acknowl-
edge receipt of Mayor Phelan's letter
and subscription.

DUBLIN.
On Aug. 20 the Pan-Celtic congress,
representative of the Celtic nationali-
ties of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brit
tany and the Isle of Man, was opened
in Dublin. There was q reception at
the Mansion House, and a procession
through the streets to the Ancient Con-
cert Rooms, where the congress tool,
place. Lord Castletown, who presided,
delivered the inaugural address, in
which he said as little as possible for
Ireland and as much as he could for
the other divisions. His lordship evil
IDENTIFY regards himself as a Welshman
or ancient Briton, forgetting that his
predecessor in the title was a book
peddler in the county of Glare, who
accumulated money, and acquired the
title somehow or other. A gathering
under such leadership is not likely to
be of much benefit to the Celts of Ire
land.
