department, and subsequently by Mr..

the Industrial Hall, in which the boys of

party assembled in the Lord Mayors
pavilion, and the Lord Mayor thanked
His Eminence for the great honor he had

they would have less immigration to that
or any other country from Ireland.

dressing the Lord Mayor, congratulated
His Lordship on the advance of the
industries of the country, and said that
the Lord Mayor had reason to be proud
of all that he had done in connection
with the movement which would not

but to all Ireland. Irishmen could see at
that exhibition what could be achieved
by genius and energy, If their industries
were only properly encouraged, and
what a state of prosperity they could
produce in Ireland. In the lace portion
of the departments exhibits, there was
evidence of wonderful skill, and it
showed what could be achieved by their
schools, guided in the paths OF industry.
His Eminence considered that the foreign
element in the exhibition would have the
result of stimulating and developing
their local industries. In conclusion he
thanked the Lord Mayor for the kindness
extended to himself personally, and
assured him that their people in Australia
would also feel deeply grateful for the
kindness extended to him.
His Eminence then left the exhibition
grounds and drove to st. Vincent's
church, Sundays Well, where he was
received on the invitation of the Vincen-
| tian Fathers.
