In Derry, on Aug. 10, the anniversary
known as the Relief of Derry, was
celebrated by the associate cubs of
the Apprentice Boys. Elaborate ar
engagements were made with the Or
ange party in Belfast, Portadown, Lur-
gan and Lisburn to send contingeuts,
and the city was thronged by the rep
resentatives Of the lodges from these
centers. Some eighteen bands attend
ed, and gave the procession an ex-
tended line, with orange and crimson
banners and the usual insignia Of the
badges, including the black preceptory.
Locally the proceeding attracted little
support, the citizens generally avoid
ing it. Owing to the presence of large
bodies of police in the streets there
was no disturbance beyond few de.
sultory assaults. The outgoing Of the
trains was the scene of considerable
rowdyism, and there was a general
discharge of revolvers.

Mr.. Standish O'Grady, in a published
letter, drawing attention to the con-
slant importation into Ireland of Ital-
ian marble for the decoration of
churches, while the finest marbles and
serpentine of all kinds are to be found
in Kilkenny and Connemara. says:
Our patronage is not extended, as it

to believe that our own beautiful Kill
kenny marble is not at all as we'll
patronized as it might be, and as we
hope it will be when this rage for for
eIgn products, and contempt of our
own. shall have somewhat abated. It
certainly does look like carrying Goals
to Newcastle to import foreign marble
to within a mile or two of Irish quar-
ries, the material from which can be
worked with such beautiful effect
