Thoms until he was lauded to the
skies by Judge Walsh of New Prit-
ain, one of the last speakers of the
evening, the captain of the Catalpa
was the recipient of most heart
felt reception.
There have been many banGnets
in this city to commemorate the
names of the heroes of The land OF
Erin, and the anniversaries of the
patriots have been most fittingly Gel
ebrated, but it can be safely said
without exaggeration or fear of con-
tradiction that the banquet last even
ing in honor of Robert Emmett sur
passed any similar event let given in
the city.
There was eloquence, there was
music, there were the songs of that
little island across the sea and more
over the story of the rescue Of the
prisoners by the Catalpa, which 1ur-
ing the evening was referred to as
the greatest conspiracy the world
has ever known"
II was about 9 o'clock thai the
guests took their seats at the tables
and proceeded TO parta'le of al the
good things which J. w. Hodson &
Bro, who catered, set before them.
The menu was as follows:
Cocktail
Blue Points
Oxtail rAnglaise
Celery Olives
Fried Smells Tartar Sauce
Potato Parlsienne
Filet OF Beef with Mushrooms
Stuffed Vermont Turkey
Cranberry and Gihlet Sauce
Mashed Potatoes
Neapolitan Ice Cream Assorted Cake
Rocquefort Cheese
Saline Crackers
Demi Tasse
While the banquet was being
served Keron Linden's string band
rendered Irish airs Their sslee-
tions were enthusiastically received
and the band was forced to respond
TO encore after encore In fact the
guests would not allow the musicians
10 desist until they we're almost OK
hausted. The music was certainly
up-to-date and was the best and
most enjoyable heard in the old City
hall in many a day.
When the cigars were lighted
John p. Sheehan, president Of the
Patrick Sarsfield club. made the in
troductory address. His remarks
were brief and to the point and end

troduced as the nephew of "Catalpa
jim" The mayor said he priced that
introduction more than any other
that could have been made. He sang
song which he said was taught him
while a boy by Colonel Hooker
O'Bourke Sullivan Of Chicago.
John R. Birney was in good voice
and sang when the Grass Grows
Green"
Postmaster Glynn of Winsted was
next introduced and said that much
as he would like the lateness OF the
haur prevented him from speaking to
any extent.
The remarks of Judge Walsh OF
New Britain caught the ear of the
audience for they came as a surprise
The speaker is of the opinion that
Captain Anthony should be reimburs-
ed even at this late day for the part
he played in that daring rescue. He
| said it was a shame that $1,000 was
| the only money ever presented to him
and stated it was about time that the
Irishmen throughout the country took
up a substantial presentation for the
hero of the Catalpa. He compared
Emmett to Washington and declared
that he sees no reason why Washing
! ton should be hailed as hero and
Emmett as traitor, when both had
the same designs on the British gov
ernment--a fight for liberty. The
! Judge was at his best and his remarks
during the closing hours of the ban
Duet were a rare treat.
! Captain Lawrence O'Brien of New
Haven was the last speaker of the
evening. He paid a glowing tribute
to Emmett and to the men who assist
| ed in the Catalpa incident.
The Patrick Sarsfleld club of this
city may continue to hold banquets
and it will have the good wishes Of
all the people of this city, but any
future banquet must be a most sue
cessful event in every way to surpass
the Emmett day celebration of March
70, 1908.
