Big Banquet at Local HOstelry
VIII Gather the Loyal
Hibernians.
Irish Brethren in JeffersOnVille
Will Have Counter
Attraction.
ALL ARRANGED IN PERFECT TASTE

If the sun win only shine pro-
pitOusly Tuesday the wearing of the
green will be respondent in and
about the Falls Cities. Louisville
and Jeffersonville have their separate
celebrations, but New Albany Hiber-
mans will probably divide their 9f-
fections between the sister cities on
each side of the river. Even if the
sun refuses to glorify the earth
thousands of our citizens will wear
green anyhow. The dew of Irish
tears has always made shamrocks
show the brighter, so why should the
tears of heaven cause them to hide
There will be banquets, literary eXer-
cises, dances and socials in the even
ing, while the Irish Catholic churches
will have appropriate celebrations in
the morning.
The great celebration Of the day
for Irish Catholics of Louisville will
be held at the Louisville Hotel at S
o'clock Tuesday evening, and will be
under the auspices of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians. 1t will be in
the form of banquet, with custom
airy toasts and appropriate Irish AMI
American national music. The County
Board began its plans six weeks ago,
and County President Murphy named
John NJ. Mulloy, d. J. Coleman, Will
lam j. Connolly and Joe Lynch on a
committee to make the necessary ar
engagements The members of this
committee have worked faithful !,
and each individual did his part.
Chairman Mulloy kept his colleagues
busy and they in turn aroused enthu-
siasm among their fellows. The re-
suit is that the Hibernians are TO
be treated to a feast that will satisfy
both the physical and mental man.
The Ladies' Auxiliary joined hands
with the Hibernians and will as
semble around the banquet table
and enjoy the good things that have
been provided. As all good Catholics
should the Hibernians and the
Ladies' Auxiliary will prepare for the
feast Of st. Patrick by approaching
holy communion at st. Patrick's
church at 6:3O o'clock tomorrow
morning.
While Chairman Mulloy superin-
tended the whole affair, he confided
the arrangements for the menu
proper to d. j. Coleman, the chef at
the Louisville Hotel and his colleague
on the committee. While the feast
is in progress, and between the
toasts, Thomas Scally's band will dis
course Irish and American national
airs. The menu cards for the occa-
sion are of artistic design with outer
cover of green, while the inner pages
are white, but the lettering is in
green. The menu arranged by Chef
ID. j. Coleman is as follows:
Grape Fruit,
Celery, Olives,
Fillet of Beef with Mushrooms,
Hollandaise Potatoes,
Bruised Sweetbreads, Green Peas,
Lettuce Salad,

Philadelphia Cream Cheese,

Coffee.
The Hibernians and their ladies
will be received in the parlors of the
Louisville Hotel and engage in social
chat until the Tina for the banquet
is announced. Scally's band will
play the spirited march that will
carry the guests to the dining hail,
where County President Murphy, as
