 The first speaker was John Hogan: He said in part: I am glad to be pres ent in this assembly. am glad we were able to bring the Ladies Irish choir of Dublin to this city and while they may mot be up to the American standard of singers. yet they were worthy to be representatives of the dear old island. That the visit of the choir was not a financial success is not the fault of the committee, and yet the visit was not failure, for it was fruit ful of much good feeling.
 Joseph Kennulty, the second speaker, said: A man born and living in Ireland is somewhat handicapped in the matter of education and advancement, but there can be no excuse to those living as we do In the best country, the best republic and under the best flag in the world.
 He quoted Dean Swift's famous homi- Ivy that whoever could make two blades of grass grow where only one grew be- fore was doing more for humanity than the whole run of politicians, and SC anyone who followed the advice of the made dean-called made by the English because he was Irish, and could moi agree with everything English-and die something to make the Irish people more self-reliant and more industrious was doing more than those who en gaged in glittering generalitles. HS closed with quotation from Longfel low:
 | Let us then be up and doing, | With 8 heart for any fate; | Still achieving, still pursuing; Learn to labor and to wait. | Remarks were also made by ThomaI F. FitEsirnmons, John Dunn and R | Coffee. The latter approached the Trisl for their poor support of the entertain ment given by the ladies choir anC urged more enthusiastic action in thc | fectively "The Confessions of an Irisl man to Priest on the Day Before Hi Execution.
 Joseph Cunningham, for twenty year a state officer of the order, was the las | speaker.
