dent. All told it was a very good en-
tertainnent. Tho musical numbers
were all exceptionally good. The ad-
dress delivered by w. w. Barron was
an able one, and contained all eloquent
appeal to young Irishmen to show
some of. the zeal for the land Of our
ancestors which Robert Emmet dis
played to such remarkable degree.
The real treat of the occasion was the
address of Rev. Father OMahoney in
which he paid a glowing tribute to the
character, patriotism ana moral worth
of Emmett, the hero. OF the last
speech Of Robert Emnlet he said it
was one Of the grandest orations ever
delivered, and that it would not only
have an abiding place IN the hearts of
his countrymen, but that it would ever
be considered a gem in literature. Jas.
Cullen, in his closing remarks, admon-
ished the members of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians to be aware Of
the friendly advances Of the British
government in sending a supposed
friend Of Ireland as ambassador to
this country in the person of Mr..
Bryce. who came for no other pur-
pose but to form an alliance between
this country and Great Britain.
