Jacques Not Large Enough For
 Sight Seers Last Night.

The Irish scenic concert given In Jacques last evening by the Catholic Women's association for the benefit or the St Mary's hospital, was most gratifying success It was necessary to turn crowds of people away from the box office us the law prohibits standing in the aislcs or around tho doorways of the theater. The largo throng present was an endorsement Of the character of the entertainments that are given by the Catholic No- mems association It is sometimes difficult to obtain something new. but somehow the Catholic Women's assO- citation generally find something that is certain to please
 The first picture thrown on the canvas was that of the most popular man in Waterbury, who has given his all toward the hospital, the Right Rev Monsignor Slocum It was re- celved with tremendous applause.
 The scenic part of the entertain. ment was trip through Ireland and every foot of the old island that has caused so much bother to it's neighbor across the Irish sea was covered by this trip. From Blarney castle in Cork that rears it's 1G5 feet of eigh- teen-foot thick walls up into the ether of the blue skies. to the illspir- ing and thrilling Giants Causeway on the coast of Antrim. The audience was just in time to catch train on the narrow gauge railway, bound for the Causeway and over every inch of this marvellous achievement of na- ture, everyone in Jacques was taken. Only few years has the railroad been running into the Causeway proper
 The scenes then showed the audi ence through the flax district of Bel. fast. where the famous Irish linen Is made: the magnificent public gardens of Dublin. the famous castle of Glen gariff and the bay of that place. The lakes and fells of Killarney with the wonderful blue mist rising over them, and party leaving in tallyhos for Glengariff, by the famous Prince of Wales route. one of the most delight full drives in Europe. The scenes met on the way in this ride were greatly appreciated by the audience of which many. no doubt rode over the actual route time and again, but to most 1t was stranger.
 Every heart in the audience was in sympathy with the scenery, but per- haps the picture that recalled old times to most of the men present was ''gafting salmon In the River Liffey." All of the magnificent cs- tates in Ireland were shown, it's beau. tiful rivers. the daily life of its peo. pie the great horse fair of Dublin, Irish lads and colleens going 10 school. all so plain that one would think he saw the actual waters of tho rivers and the flesh and blood of tho people tingling with the new life.
 Incidental to the pictures Miss Jennie Culhane sang two pretty songs 'Only Year." describing the parting of boy from his mother at Queens and Rory Darlin'" pathetic story of a young couple turned ont of house and home. Miss Katherine G!oster rendered medley of Irisl, airs and for an encore sang beautifully the "Glories of Brian Boru." Both singers were very much appre- ciated. The illustrated songs were given by Thomas Brecn.
 The two hours entertainment was over before the people had any idea they had been in the theater that length of time. so pleasantly and smoothly the program was carried through. The large attendance was great compliment to those who had charge of the entertainment as well as to the object for which 1t was giv- en, The committee that handled the affair so successfully was Mrs C. X. Jackson. Mrs Cornelius Maloncy. Miss Elizabeth Quinn, Mrs C. r. Hayes. Miss Elizabeth C. Hart and Mrs Martin Quinn
