Erin go brach,' was the watch word at the Tontine last evening. where was held the thirty-fir annual banquet of the Knights of St Pat rick. Every man who had brogue, or whose father or mother unto the third and fourth generation back ever had a brogue and hailed from the "auld sod" was there en masse. And what aggregation of countrymen, when gathered together, can have a better time than the loyal sons of St. Patrick? The banquet was not fin- ished till well past midnight, but it was all too soon to put an end to the splendid collection of stories about the proverbial Pat and Mike, which were told, and told well, as might well be expected at a dinner of Irishmen. The list of speakers included some of the best orators of the community. The toastmaster was the ever-effer- vescent Edward J. Moriarty. who when he arose to speak was met with a corruption of the well-known song which ran. Cheer up, Mory, don't be signing" The speakers included Ed ward l.. Hearn, Mayor James B. Mar tin. Lawrence Mason, of Yale; Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips, Hon. George M. Gum and Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward P O'Meara. The benediction was said by Rev. John L. McGuinness.

I met with Jimmy Maxwell, And I took him by the hand; 1 said: How's old New Haven, My boy. how does she stand?" SheTs the finest city That ever you have seen, And we shifted all policemen Who were wearing out the green
 Another was set to the melody of "Tammany," If indeed melody" is not too much of a word, as follows: | "A biz. chief sits in. Mater street MI I Urging braves to drink and eal-- Tom Molloy, Tom Molloy. Oi-o, oi-o, etc, Tom Moloy.'
