The room was very tastcfuliy decorated ropes
of green crepe paper running from chandeliers
to windows, large bows of the green being
fastened upon each curtain and the chimney,
while clusters of large shamrocks, green
splashed with gold We're affixed to the white
walls between the windows; and shamrocks,
intermingled with chains of white clav pipes
tied together with narrow green ribbons. were
suspended from each chandelier, giving very
pleasing effect on entering the hall. The sup
per tables were also dressed in the Irish green,
knotted bands of the crepe paper outlining
each, with fiat bands placed diagonally across
the middle, from corner to corner, the point of
crossing having upon it tall bisque figure,
crowned with green "grandfather's hat"
while handsome brass candlesticks with orna-
mental green shades were disposed at inter-
walls along each table, which, with napkins,
decorated in green, cakes with green icings,
candies colored green, potato, shrimp, salmon
and cabbage salads, heavily trimmed with
parsley leaves, hot baked potatoes, stripped
fish, hot rolls and excellent coffee, constituted
an Irish meal very acceptable to our patroniz-
ing citizens. For the whist players score cards
were furnished in green, cut in shamrock form.
The sum of $15.05 was taken by the treasurer,
from which the small expenses must be de-
Quoted. All are much pleased with the results
