The good people of Cavour celebrat-
ed the great feast of st. Patrick in true
old Irish style. The festivities opened
with solemn high mass at st. Patrick's
church at II a. NJ, the celebrant of
which was the Very Rev. Dean Shee-
han of Elkton with the Rev. D. +.
Desmond of Huron as subdeacon, Rev.
H. Fox of Melette subdeacon and the
Rev. John Hogan of De Smet master
of ceremonies. The pastor, Rev. Thos.
O'Farrell, occupied a seat in the sane
tury. After the first gospel Father
Desmond preached on the life of st.
Patrick and the sermon was one of
the finest that the congregation has
listened to for a long time. The st.
Martins choir from Huron sang the
mass very effectively and the young
ladies acquitted themselves admirably.
In the afternoon and evening there
was a matinee and play gotten up by
local talent and those who took part
might well feel proud of themselves.
