the great entertainment you have given
us. In return L can only give you q
MESA ge that L know You will receive
with gratitude and pleasure. This is
that the prospects of Ireland today are
exceedingly pleasant and bright. In my
parliamentary life of twenty three years
prospects of justice to Ireland We're, to
all appearances. nearer of realization.
The justice of our cause is now being
recognized by all parties. The time is
coming when Irishmen in Honolulu and
over the whole world may meet and
congratulate themselves that the Irish
nation has obtained it's God-given
rights. 1 thank you for your enter
tainment, for your beautiful flowers
and, above all, for that true Irish well
come that comes from the heart"
Mr.. McTighe said that what they had
done was nothing to what. they would
have done if they had been given the
whole day as expected. They had man.
aged to show their guests some of the
sights of the. city. In fact, they had
done the best they could. 1t was q
great pleasure for them to have at
their country's rights and his amiable
partner in life, together with their
friends. All the more so, because the
news from Ireland led them to hope
that they might live to see a parlia-
ment in College Green once more
Mr.. Redmond rose again and said:
THE last message received before
sailing north was from the Australian
Hibernians and it was to convey their
greetings to any members of the fra
ternity we might meet in our travels
1T is true that the Australian Hiber-
mans are different organization from
the national body, but it's objects are
the same and we have bonds of SYM
pathy with them. Again, then, I wish
to thank you, as chairman of this feast
and as president of the local Hiber.
mans, an order to which 1 myself be-
long, for your splendid entertainment"

with this form of a Hawaiian welcome.
Mr. Redmond gratefully accepted a lei
for his hat, but stea,lfastly refused to
wear a floral collar.
On the way out the Waikiki boule-
ward Mr.. Redmond's attention was
drawn to a child in front of a cottage
waving the green flag of Erin. He had
the tally-ho stop and, alighting, ran
and picked up the child in his arms.

carried the little girl, flag in hand, to
his wife to be kissed and would have
taken her for the rest of the drive but
that the child rebelled at being taken
captive

marks at the luncheon from Col. Nc

MI. Redmond having expressed a de-
sire to President McTighe to hear an
irish song, the party adjourned from

Mr.. McTighe himself sang, to his wife's
piano accompaniment, "The Isle that's
crowned with Shamrock" Needless to
say, when the Irish consul sang, there
was not dry eye in the house."
From the Moana the party went to
