Cardinal Logue, without relinquishing a
particle Of his ecclesiastical dignity, revealed
himself on the human. not to say the Hi
bernian, side at the luncheon given him
yesterday at the Hotel Aston by the Amer
lean alumni Of Maynooth College. The
occasion was really the eleventh snnua
dinner OF the Maynooth alumni, but It took
the form Of a 3 o'clock luncheon In honor
OF the Cardinal. who Ia not only a Maynooth
graduate but at present president OF the
college,
The Cardinal seemed TO enjoy the AFFAIR
thoroughly, and he allowed himself to
have a little fun and to AFFORD some fun to
Me priests who were gathered around him
n was an occasion Of fine clerical bonhomle
and everybody looked happy, even the dig
niAed Archbishop Of New York, who sug-
gested unoficially TO some newspape r
men about whose appreciation OF the spirit
OF the occasion he seemed to have misgiv-
ings that they omit some Of the Cardinals
delightful references to experiences In the
Sacred College when that august body
was engaged Upon the task Of selecting
or of registering the selection of-the pres
ent Pope.
So. respect for the A%rchbishop's wishes
being ~predicated, the reader may judge
and enjoy the Cardinals spirited account
of some side incidents Of the grave funo-
ton in which he participated in Rome
The Cardinal was in the best and kindllest
Of moods and he had a little quiet fun also
with his travelling companion, the Lord
Bishop Of Cloyne, who returned the humor
in kind, to the great delight Of the Maynooth
men assembled, and with Archbishop Far
lev. who had not time to get back, owing
to the protraoted luncheon and the en-
gagements Of the chief dignitaries Tor
the evening when they attended a reception
at the Catholic Club.
Every care had been taken, even with
small details Of the luncheon, 70 make It
one to be remembered by the Maynooth
men in America, ever the menu being care
fully got up to typify the varied inter-
ests represented. The card, large enough
TO frame, bore the portrait Of the Cardinal
and his autograph, the papal crown, the
Cardinals hat, the Bishops mitre, the
Celtic cross and the shield Of the United
States OF America besides the seal OF May
nooth College. The design was the work
Of Cornelius Hayes Of this city. The let
tering was in the Celtic alphabet, the Car
dinal being versed in the Celtic tongue
The whole was bound In yellow and white
ribbon, the papal cOlors.
The Lord Bishop Of Cloyne, Archbishop
Browne Of Queenstown, was n OF the
guests OF honor not only as the travelling
companion Of the Cardinal but as a former
president Of Maynooth.
Before the luncheon Father Morgan NJ.
Sheedy, president Of the American branch
Of the Maynooth alumni, presented an
address Of the American alumni to the
Cardinal and Archbishop Browne and the
began his badinage in making the
p TO the address.
After expressing his pleasure at the
address he said that he felt pride in the
priests Of the Church and especially In
,hosA who we're sent to work in foreign
lands. To send priests away, he said,
appeared to be the especial province OF
Ireland, its peculiar mission. When Europe
was too small for the o%utpouring Of Irish
priests, for example, Columbus discovered
America.
The Cardinal addressing a Celtic audience
did not have to complete this line OF his
thought in words. and no added: i know
YOU work hard over here, for this is the
land Of the strenuous life he went on
with the encouraging statement that more
bishops for America were coming out Of
MAMMOTH. He urged work among all ma
lionalities, but the Bulgarians, he said, were
apt TO be troublesome.
He thought that the priests here rather

occasion all the others except himself and
French priest went 10 some function
other and he and the Frenohman re-
NAMED at home and talked. Even this
Frenchman told him that his great ambition
vas to lead an Irish flock.
Turning TO Archbishop Browne, the Car
linal said that he would not answer for him,
