Victory or the PROV Of a ship. On the
base IS this inscription:
Join Barry.
Commodore Of the United States Navy.
Born County Wexford, Ireland, 1745.
Died Philadelphia, 1903.
The likeness is based on the only por-
trait of Commodore Barry in existance,
State House in Philadelphia, painted
just before Barry's death at the age
of SIS. From this portrait the sculp-
tor sought to produce a younger Ike
ness representing the naval hero at
the age of 40 when he vas in the
zenith of his career.
Although the chief reason for the
gathering of Irish-Americans in the
national copitol, the ceremonies Satur-
day were but a part Of a two days cele-
bration intended to emphasize the
achievements of men of Irish lineage
in this country. Friday there was
a pilgrimage to the tomb of Washing"
ton at Mount Vernon where in pay
ing respect to the Father of his coun-
try prominent orators also lauded the
deeds of Irish patriots in American
history. Friday night there was an Irish
song concert rendered by the glee
club of the Friendly Sons of st. Pat
rick of New York City and a number
Of eminent individual singers of Irish
descent. Saturday night the celebration
closed with with a banquet address,
ed by Governor O'Neill of Alabama,
and Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy.
One of the interesting features Of
the celebration was the assembling
in Washington Of members Of the Bar
ry family from all over the country
and the formation of a National Barry
association. Each member wore a
special Identification badge. Another
feature was the gathering under one
roof of the descendants of Irishmen
born in the county of Wexford, the
native heath of Commodore Barry.
