There was no local celebration OF
st. Patrick's day in this city, but
but those to whom the day possessed
a peculiar significance went to Ash
land, where they had big time,
and put in the day in a great manner.
Quite a number of Missionaries
were at Ashland Sunday night and
heard Sousa's famous band at the
Opera House. The band is one of
the greatest in the United States,
and the night was one that was
greatly enjoyed by an enthusiastic
audience.
! The st. Louis Athletic Club have
organized from their mum bers a ball
team which will look for honors on
the field Of glory the coming season.
The ball club succeeds what was
known last year as the Columbian
Guards, and is under the same man
agement, and has most of the same
players. Tim Kearns is manager
and Tim. Burke captain. Other
members of the crew are: John
| Burke, John Kearns, Henry Oscar,
John Boileau, Alex. Legacy, John
| Roscoe, Willie Shambo and Eugene
Magee. The boys have already
placed their orders for suits with the
acknowledged authority and out

The "Passion Play" at the St.
Louis Catholic church on Tuesday
evening drew a very large and ap-
preciative audience, as every one
knew that Mr.. Kilrain would not
disappoint them-he having APP
peared here last year. Mr.. Kilrain
informs us that he expects to spend
a part of the summer months in ODER
Ammergau, the home of the great
play, for the purpose of securing
views of the place during the time
when there is no excitement attend
ing the production of the play. He
also has some views in contempla-
ton which he expects to secure in
Poland and European countries, and
when he returns again TO the cir,
as he likely will in another year, mis-
lectures will be more interesting
than they ever have been before.
Those who have failed to attend
either one of the two wonderful lee
lures that have been given by Mr..
Kilrain in this city during the past
year, most certainly have missed one
of the greatest opportunities that
has presented itself in the city.
