Class In Gaelic
 To Be Formed By
 Local Students

A Gaelic Literary Class the object
 of which is tine teaching of the Gaelic language and preservation among
 men and women of Irish bIood III
 Bridgeport of Irish customs and keener appreciation of Irish literature and ideals. has been organized under the presidency of John J. Mccarthy, assisted by the following ohcerS; Patrick Walsh, vice president; PaL- rick Boyle, secretary, and Patr!ck Cuddy, treasurer. The organization will meet every Thursday at 2S6 Fair field avenue, and classes in the Gaelic language are now forming in charge of William F. Maher and Patrick Boyle, local Gaelic scholars.
 The classes are open to all those interested in learning or perfecting their knowledge of the Gaelic 1an- guage, and in promoting the revicaI of Irish customs and literature. The officers of the class hope to develop such a demand for the study of Gaelic in Bridgeport that the engagement of additional instructors will be neces- sary. Glasses in Gaelic literature and other subjects are also being planned, and arrangements are being made for lectures by Gaelic authorities from other cities.
 The class is an outgrowth of the movement inaugurated by Eamonn De Valera at the Irish Race Conference in Paris for the development through out the world, wherever men and wo- men of Irish blood reside, of know1- edge of the Irish language, proficiency in Irish sports, preservation of Irish customs and spread of Irish literature and ideals. The Bridgeport class is non-poittcal and it's sole object is the encoura cement of Irish culture. When the plans formulated at the Paris con- ference are carried into action, the local class will be affiliated with a worldwide organization having the same object.
 MT. William 3. Maher of the local class assisted in prom oting a similar class in New Haven and a hearty but friendly rivalry is expected to develop getween the two cities.

Our minds are now made up that this must end and in the Taltian games of August we mean to collect in the capital of our country those talents that have hith- erto been relegated elsewhere so that the world may know that physi- cally the Irish are superior to all men,"
 France, England, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland have already assured MT. Walsh that they will be represented at the games.
 Arrangements for the team to rep resent the United States at the Irish | Olymp1cs are still in the formative ! stage, but 1t is certain that a cred | itab1e team will be sent.

dick, famous l|[ DOG,
GETS FARM HOME
s. p. c. A. Turns Huge Pet Over
to J. L. Ebert at Chal-
font, Pa.
Ex.owNER BIDS eooD.BY

A home has been found for Dick, the
st. Bernard dog tried for his life last
week and freed by Magistrate Howard
F. Boorse, who received pleas for
Dicks life from President Harding and
hundreds Of other persons.
After the trial Dick was taken to
Philadelphia by Fred G. Carter. special
agent of the s. p. G. A., to whose care
he had been intrusted. Now. owing
to the efforts Of Mr.. Carter and y. p.
Shea. a representative Of Boston. whose
interest in the case brought him TO the
city, home has been found for the
dog,
Sdme time today Dick will leave his
present home at the s. =. G.. A. and
be taken to the farm of John l.. Ebert,
ut Chalfont. Mr.. Ebert is one Of the
dozens of persons who petitioned to be
allowed to buy the dog or take care Of
him.
Mr.. Ebert is n personal friend of
Magistrate BOorse and Game Warden
Fritz. Of Bucks County. 1t is because
of this and the assurance that the dog
will be we'll taken care of that Dick
has been entrusted to Mr.. Ebert. He
Is also e friend of Jacob Silvcrman,
from whom the dog was taken because
Silverman is unnaturalized. He used
to peddle his wares uear Mr.. Ebert s
farm.
A farewell reception was held for
Dick at the 8. p. G. A. yesterday. and
many peoplc fockcd to see the famous
dog. Curiosity brought many of them
and real affection for the animal. others.
Silverman visited his friend Wednesday
when he came to say goodbye. The
old affection and understanding betveen
them has not been lcsseneG by the days

of separation and they joyfully greeted
each other. When the time came for
Silverman to leave he lost his happy
smile. for the second parting was no
less hard than the first.
The alarm felt for the dogs safety,
when It was learned that jeremiah
Reinert. Montgomery County Game
Commissioner, who arrested Silverman
land the dog, would of1cially protest
the verdict with which he Is dissatis
fed. Is without foundation.
The protest may have some effect
upon the remittance Of the fine Of S25
which Judge Boorse granted Silyerman
but It cannot effect the disposition OF
the dog.
The protest from Seth T.. Gordon,
secretary Of the State Game Commits
sion at Harrisburg, who said The law
Of Pennsylvania requires that the dog
be killed. Since you have disposed OF
the case contrary thereto, we have
nothing to do with the matter" can
also have no effect on Dicks welfare,
as he was definitely turned over to the
s. p. G. A. by court decision, and
has been given now to Mr.. Ebert.
