Passing of the Grand American.
The Grand American handicap at live
birds has probably seen its best days.
The climax was reached last spring,
when more than 500 men entered.
These live bird shoots have become un-
popular with the promoters of such
events because of the opposition
aroused last year to the wholesale
slaughter of pigeons. In club and state
meets the number of birds killed is so
small that it escapes criticism, but at
the Grand American so many are shot
down that public opinion has con
demned the sport. For this reason
there is said to be but little chance of a
national live bird shoot ever again
being held. If it does take place, how
ever. it viii be run off in Texas, at San
Antonio.

The Irish Piper.

The Irish piper is musician of
whom little is popularity known. Mr..
Grattan Flood lectrred on him recent
ly in Dublin and gave very interesting
information about him. Mr.. Flood
stated that there was an Irish piper in
King James army in 1856. The first
remarkable piper of the 18th century
was Pierce Power, of Glin, County
Waterford, famed in song and story.
His "Humors of Glin' was an especial
favorite with Robert Burns, who
adapted song to it, in 1895, COM
mencing ''Their groves Of sweet myr-
tie let foreign lands reckon" A few
years later lived Laurence Grogan, Of
Johnstown Castle, County Wexford,
usually known as LARRY Grogan, the
gentleman-pipcr" Mr.. Grogan was
alike famed as composer as well as
performer. His "Ally Croker" dat
ing from 1926, was so popular that it

County Of Limerick Buck Hunt"
written in 1870, by Pierce Creagh, of
Dangan, County Glare, who was a
bosom friend of Larry, and who called
a racehorse after him. The presence
of piper at the County Dublin foot
ball matches in the first quarter Of the
18th century was amply proved by
quotation from Concanen's match Of
Football" published in 1921. "Moll
Roe" and 'The Kilruddery Hunt"
were treated in most interesting
fashion, the latter pipe-tune being a
favorite with Wolfe Tone. Mr.. Flood
explained the "Cake Dance" for which
piper was invariably requisitioned,
and traced it's history, quoting some
quaint advertisements relative to it
from old files of Dublin newspapers.
An anecdote of the DISCUSSES adopt
ed by Catholic priests, and even
Bishops, under the Ubiquitous Penal
Laws, was well received. Cardinal
Moran describes how the venerable
Bishop of Fillmore went about as
piper; and his portrait, in that
picturesque costume, may still be seen
at the Bishops house, Cavan. The
Jacobite period furnished much ma
terial for historical and anecdotal de-
tails. and Mr.. Flood quoted the two
Irish tunes that were played at the
Battle of Fontenoy in 1745. He also
told the story of the fine pipe-tunc

this Mr.. Redmond declares is his pro-
gramme. He is fighting for Ireland
with the only weapon that comes to

the other way, if that were practicable:
The Tories themselves have removed
one very considerable obstacle to their
success. The split in the Liberal par
ty in 1886, which carried so many Eng
fish and Scotch Wings away from Mr..
Gladstone, was as much due to APP
prehension about the future of the
Irish landowners under home rule as
to any dread of home rule on other
accounts. The sympathy for men Of
their own class played great part in
this, and besides this, much Irish Ian"

ment which would impe .ner-
ship. The new land law has removed
this kind of opposition, by enabling
the owners Of Irish land to divest
themselves Of that possession on fav-
orable terms. It thus puts a stop to
great deal Of hypocritical talk about
DESERVING the Loyalists of Ulster
which really meant that those who
used it were afraid of what a Dublin
parliament might do with their es-
tates. The land law has not weaken
ed in the least the case against alien
government, but it has greatly aided
the friends of Ireland's rights to self
government in attaining that goal.

largely in the majority.
During his residence in Illinois Mr.
Day formed the close acquaintance
of Senator Cullom, then governor Of
the state; Joseph w. Fifer, now
member of the interstate commerce
commission, and Col. William II. Nor
rison and other leaders of both par
ties in the state.
Early in his first term President
Cleveland appointed Mr.. Day to the
position Of second auditor of the
treasury, and since entering upon the
duties of that position he has been q
resident in, Washington. Upon retir-
ing from that Office he resumed the
practice, of law in Washington. His
study Of transportation problems,
taken up during his service in the H.
linois legislature has been followed
continuously, and he has been closely
identified with litigation involving
questions relating to transportation
subjects. He has been very frequent-
~ employed by the interstate COM
merce commission as special counsel,
and has represented that body in
nearly all of the important investiga-
tions instituted by it in respect to
rates and practices of common car
riers. He has also been attorney in
many transportation cases other
than those conducted by the inter-
state commerce commission.
Recently Mr.. Day acted as special
attorney for the government in a
number of important cases involving
trusts, corporations and transporta-
ton matters. He appeared as spe-
cial attorney for the government in
the beef trust suit and in the North
ern Securities merger case. In the
latter case he cross-examined Harri-
man, Hill, Morgan and other railway
magnates, elicting the causes of the
panic of May 9, 1901. His work in
these cases was so efficient and suc'
| cessful as to meet with the full ap.
probation Of the attorney-general.

by birth, native of Jonesboro, where
he was born in 1857, but went to North
Carolina in 1873. Mr.. Pritchard edited
a newspaper, the Roam Mountain Re-
publican, at Bakersville, until 1887,
when he moved to the town of
Marshall. In that year he was licensed
to practice law.
Mr.. Pritchard had begun to take IN
interest in politics, and in 1884 served
a term in the legislature. He was
elected again in 1886 and in 1890. Mr..
Pritchard was active in stimula ting in
terest in his section in the protective
tariff principle, and in 1891 he was
elected president of the North Carolina
Protective Tariff league. He was an
unsuccessful candidate for congress in
1892.
In 1894, when the fusion movement
was in full swing, Mr.. Pritchard went to
the front of it and assisted in organic
ing and directing it. He was rewarded
with election to the United States sem
