entertain tho Irish-American visitors who
| are expected to invade this country dur
ing the summer months.
\ Organized steps are being taken. not
/ only to show these visitors the beauty
spots Of ireland, but also the industries Of
the country. This. in fact. 10 ono of the
most important aspects of the lesson which
the Invaders will be asked TO learn about
ireland. Our trade with the United States
I'm some matters, such as linen manufac-
turers. is very large but could be greatly
Increased. The other day the lord mayor
of Belfast said that IL Irish linen was
more freely admitted into America, the
population of Belfast could be nearly

saw Richard Croker the other day. He
is looking fine and is enthusiastic over
his racing stable.
Eight Horses In Training.
II have eight horses in training at the
moment" he said, "and II you go 10 the
next Phoenix park meeting you will see
two OF them sporting my colors. No.
amt going to say they will win. but II all
goes well with them they will run"
Asked to contrast American racing with
that In ireland, Mr.. Croker was very en-
phatic why" he said, II only attended
one meeting while l was away, and that
} was like a funeral. II was all whispering
and arranging, and there was no sport.
No. there is no racing over there. There
) IS only one place where there is racing, to
nv mind, and that is In Ireland-Ireland,
which is Gods own country; the most de-
, liRhtful place on earth, both to live In and
enjoy sport in. There is no whispering
and no arranging here; all is straight, and.
whether win or lose, all are sports OF the
right type
On the question of the coming invasion
, exiled Irishmen, Mr.. Croker said that
though taking a deep interest in the
. scheme he had no recent particulars. Al
) any rate he believed II would be a great
; success and that not only Ireland you'd
benefit, but the visitors would thoroughly
snioy themselves"
