OUR RIFLEMEN IN IRELAND, | —-.—_——. The Grand International Festival | of the Sharpshooters, | AMERICA HONORED IN DUBLIN. Preparing for the Battle of Dollymount. WUSIC, DRAMA, BANQURTS AND ELOQUENCE. Old Trinity’s Dinner to the American Team. SONGS AND SPRECHES..THE PROVOST'S WELCOME. DUBLIN, June 27, 1875. ‘The international rifle match in Dublin wiil be memorable, not merely because of the excellence of the target practice exhibited, but because also oi the overwhelming demonstrations of friend- | ship and good will manifested toward Americans | by the Lrisi: people of all classes. On toe evening | before the grand review and sham fight at the | Curragh of Kildare tae team received such au | ovation as few royal or political dignitaries have | ever bad from an Irish audience, The Tieatre Royal, the opera house of the city, was prepared i for a promenade concert in honor of the Amert- | cans, and was packed from sky lott to the very | edges of the platform in the pit, so that promenad- | ing would have been impossible had any one been | Bear enough toattemptir, ‘ne stage was grace- | quily draped and a large orchestra was ranged | Biong seats built upon an iociined plane and | reaching almost to the stage roof, ‘the seductive | music of Strauss, Gounod and Weber kept the fudience quiet until the arrival of the Americans, but the team had no sooner entered and taken their seats in a loge specially arranged for them at the right of the stage than the walls resounded to cheers. The scene in the pit during the playing of American airs by the orchestra was wonder- fully animated and amusing. Each song or melody | of patriotic character was hailed with roars and theers, and when the familiar cadences of ‘Jon Brown’s Body” were heard @ lusty yet harmoni, bus chorus, Joined in by the occupants of gallery ind dress circle alike, added to the enthusiasm, People were weaged so tightly in the pit that they must have been on the verge of suffocation; bat hundreds o: the first gentlemen in Dubin re- mained patiently there untii tne concert was fin- ished, only now and then objecting, good humor- ealy, when the rougher persons in the crowd made wild rushes for the more conspicuous pia: es On the sides of the stage, and sometimes tumbled | half a dozen unfortunate individuals headlong on | the backs of wnose below. The “Star Spangled | Banner,” sung by Miss Bessie Sudiow, was re- spondea to by an elegant basket of flowers, handed | from the loge occupied by the American team, and the fair singer gracefully kissed the diminative flag whieh capped the flowers. The programme, elaborately printed in blue letters on white satin, bordered with red, was as follows :— THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN, Mr. B.

Two members chosen by bailot from exch Irish lodge, And the grand ofiicers and ofictals o1 the numer- bus lodges were present. The toast “The Brethren of the American Rife Team” was happily | tesponded to vy Colonel Bodine, Major Fulton, Colone! Knox, Alderman Cole and Mr. Bird. The festivities were prolonged, but did not prevent the prompt assemoling of our team early Friday morning for their finut practice, Never did men more carefully keep their heads cool and their berves under control than have the members of the American tean during their stay tn Ireland, They have studied ava practised in the intervals of tue entertainments offered them with a ‘teadfastness ana Zal beyond pratse.

A visit to the practice | tround oa Friday morning was enough to con- rince any one that the men had come to work ‘nd not to play, Every fitteen seconds the sharp wack of a rifle and the his# of the startled air were heard, Bodine and Yaic were studying the wind with @ persistency which has been re- Warded by @ marvellous knowledge of its freaks on ride ranges in Ireland.

Dr. Haugh- ton, It would be diticuit to imagine a more comi- cal consternation than that expressed on tne face Ol the “bead porter’’—an important dignitary, by the way, and ove receiving 4 large salary in old Trinity—as that person stood looking on at the Jestive scene when the speeches were at their height, “Suen @ sight was never scen in this hail | before, sir,” said he, mysteriously, to @ guest. And, indeed, 1t has been the custom in the ban- quet nall of Trinity to drink but one toast as & rule, aud that one to the Sovereign, It had beeu announced that there were to ve uo speecies be- | cause of ibis ume-nonored rule; but the voice of | eloquence ruse graduully, a3 the hum of conversa- tion always does at a dinner table, and finally overfowed into some spirited addresses, THE COMPLIMENT to botn teams was certainly a high one, Trinity University, called Queen’s College when it was founded 1n 1591, 18 the most important and dig- nilied literary instituvioa im ireland, There is | not a climate under the sun where a graduate of | ‘Trinity may not be jound, and the portraits on | the walls of the University, and the broaze statues of Burke and Goldsmith on Coilege Green, are suilicient proof that the sons of the Lubernian Alma Mater have registered their names among ine proudest. ‘This venerable and distinguisued sunctuury of learning stunus in the very heart of Duolin city, aud on What was once kuown us Ho; gin Gieen, tract of lund wich belonged te Ail Hallow's Monastery, Lhe Crown gave tbe Green to the Dublin Corporation aud the city conveyed it to the University, Around the dingy stone Walls rises @ hui of trafic, and loag processions of trucks irom the quays on the Liitey, and of rattling jeuntiug cars, pour past it” from daylignt uot late at night, Bat you nave only to step Uader the arch of the gateway and Dass inside tue court to flud yourself in oue of the quie:est aud most seciuded retreats of the lovers © letters In Europe.

That there is young blood in the Trinity facuity no one will deny, when they are told that the Ladies’ Cup, won by the Trinity Doysat the Henley regatta, was exhibited to the American Visitors With pride and pleasure by @ reverend doctor. BUT TO THE DINNER, It was given in the rejectory or dining hall, a noble room, loity, and bung round about witn portraits of the distinguished men who began their Gareer in the University, Before the Ma: ter of Ceremonies, Rev, Dr. Haughton, ushered | the seventy-five guests into the banqueting room, they were received by the Provost, the Fellows and some of ihe professors, im a reception hall, ‘The invitation to the dinner ran as tollows:— “frinity College, Dublin—International kifle Matcn—The Fellows request the pleasure of your company at dinoer in the Common’s Hail, Saturday, the 26th of June, 1875, at nalf-past seven o'clock, P.M.” THE SCENG IN THE DINING HALL when the guests were seated was very brilliant, At the head of the table sat the Provost, Rev. Dr. Humptrey Lioyd, and on eitner side of him were the Lord Chief Justice Wilteside and the Lord Mayor of Dubiin. Near by sat tha, Lord Mayor of York, the High Sheriff of Dublin, Alderman Cole and Judge Mullen, of New York; and round about were grouped members of the American team with Fellows of the University. At tne other end of the table were Oolonei Giidersieeve and Major Leech, with the Bursar, in bis robes, between them, Toward the close of the banquet the younger students, who had in some miraculous manner succeeded tm getting to the windows high up in the wail, looked down on the festive Scene aud eXpressed their admiration in sup- pressed murmurs, At last, alter grace bad been said, the Provost rose, and, in giving the wonted toast to tha Queen, announced that on this occasion the University would depart from its traditions, and give other toasts in honor of the gocd friends from tne other side of the Atlan. tc, “God Save the Queen” was sung and the health of the President of the United States was next proposed vy the Provos: Now each guest had found by his plate @ little book, the covers of which were printed in rea, white and blue colors, with the American and British dags intertwined with garianda aod the words— inte: we tional Kifle Match. ome trom Alma Mater.

He closed by humorously ad- anadmonition which produced a general laugh at the expense of the valiant Milner, Colonel Gil- dersiceve’s speech was very brief, and was a hearty acknowledgment of the splendid compli- | ment paid to him and his men, THE FINAL SONG of the evening was to tne stirrtag mbsic of “fail Columbia,” and its noble chorug completely drowned the opposition notes of “Yunkee Doodle,” which some enterprising gtudent now and then played on a squeaking pipe in tke court- yara of the university.
