ST PATRICK'SDAY
 [ NOW AND BEFORE
Gatherings in Halls and Private Families Instead
 of Street Parades
SOCIAL EVENTS TONIGHT

With the exception of special musi- cal programs and a large attend- ance at the Catholic churches this morning there was no visible signs or any observance of St Patrick s day in Waterbury. Of course there were those who were fortunate enough to receive sprigs of sham rock from relatives in the old world, but even these were not quite so nu- merous as in former years. Wheth- CT this was due to the fact that the shamrock Is now commercialized over there and one has to pay a heavy duty on it had anything to do with this is moot question, but in any event it is So. But there was no scarcity of emblems on sale in the stores and it might not be amiss to remark in passing that in most in stances these were neat and showed evidence of good taste
 As usual. quite a few left for New York to see the parade, which it is said will be the biggest ever held In that great city. But with the exception of the pleasure it imparts to witness a monster parade, those who went to New York will have nothing on folks who remained at home and will join in the festivities at St Joseph's hall, Temple hall. Gar- den nall, hamilton park or attend one of the many private parties to take place in different parts of the city. Things are different now to conditions that obtained in the days when it used to be treat on St Pat rick's day to see Major c. R.. Ban- non at the head of the Sedgwick Guard, William Maher, John Thompson, Henry R. Byrnes and other prominent citizens of that day and time directing the movements of the Senior Temperance society through the muddy streets of Wa terbury to the martial music of Flaherty's band. This was usually followed in the evening by a great gathering in the old City hall where brilliant voices long since stilled charmed enthusiastic audiences but few of whom are left to tell the story of these vanished days.
 The weather to-day was chilly, but the going was good, something which was rarely true when residents of Waterbury used to hold public demonstrations in honor of the pa- tron saint of Ireland.

were going to waste because they
couldn't pay their way to market,
where peaches and apples and cher
