Evening of Songs. “The second half of the programme was taken up with songs, the chorus of forty veices being seated on the prettily arranged stage, which was with paims and United States and Irish flags. The young women Were dressed in white and green. As gen- eral director, Jamés P. Haynes was, as usual, in fine fettle and scored a big hit in his songs and jokes. Like the other participants he was obliged to respond to several encores. Bach of tha singers displayed merit and with spirlt and effect, recelving a big hand, making encores necessary, and they were cheerfully given. Miss Lena Boudreau presiled at the piano during this half. The chorus singing was a feature, while each of the num- bers was so well given that there was close rivalry. The duet made a hit. After the fall of the curtain the par- ticipants presented Mr. Hayes with a ling case in apprecfation of of diracting them. The pres- n was made by Rev. W. A. in behalf of the soclety.

First Prize. ‘When driven from the land of their birth by the relentless oppressor, Irishmen fonnd sure protection beneath the generous folds of our starry flag. For Al a's protection and oppor- tunities they have expressed , their gratitude very materially. They have learned to love and revers their adopt- ed flag almost as they do their ow: in its defense they have fought, bled, and died on every battiefield ’ from Lexington to San Juan. From the very §outh of our repub- lic to the present day, they have fatthfully co-operated in all its labors and struggles.

Andrew Jackson, who heads the list of Irish-American presidents, distinguished himself in the war of 1812, and Shields, an Irishman, was the first one to plant the Stars and Stripes on the walls of Mexico; while| in the civil war, Phll Sheridan, whose “twenty-mile ride” ls made famous in prose and poetry, and Rosecranz Meade, and hundreds of others worked heroicaliy. _ Their readiness to Help others to freedom has lately been shown by their support of the Cubans in the Spanish-American war. ghting 1s not the only way that Irishmen have aided Ametica.

SULLIVAN. INFLUENCE OF IRISH RACE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 8econd Prize. ‘Throughout the range of American history the Influence of the Irish peo- ple has been deep, lasting and elevat- ing. This is largely due to thelr raclal characteristics and to their rellgion. Their intelligence, courage, energy and self-respect have made them & power among men. It follows that this pow- or must be for good, since most of the Irish in America are Catholics, and by upholding the teachings of the Catholic church they stand for what is noblest and best. In colonial times fearless Irishmen, understanding the evils of oppression bent all their efforts in the flerce strug- gle for independence. John Barry is known to us as “The Father of the Americen Navy;” Mont- gomery, second only to Washington in our hearts, lost his 1ife at the storming of Quebec; Patrick Henry will live for- ever in his memorable vords, “give me Mberty o give me death”; and we must always associate the heroic deeds of General Stark with the Battie of Bunker Hill. The first naval battle of the Revo- lution was won Mauriee O'Brien, who witn his five sons and a handful of men captured the British ship Mar- garetta off the Malne coast. On land. too, it i8 an Irishrian, John Sullivan, who stands forth as the hero of the first open act of resistance from the colonists—the capture ot Fort Wil- ltam and Mary. ‘We honor many Irish whose names are {not so well known but who in rank and file were none the Ipas helpful in the fight for liberty.

IRISH-AMERICAN HEROES. Third Prize, Among the historfes of America and her greatest men none have stood out in the limelight more promtsently than the TIrish-Amerieans. The following men were especially distinguished: Andrew Jackson was born March 13, Amer 1767, on the border between North and Soutn Carolina. Hls father T «oii- grated from.

In 1828 he was slected president of the United States. He vetoed ihe bill which was to give the United States bank a charter. Although not in_the public light 1ike Jackson, Thomas Plunkett, e:-:om in the civil war, possessed herojum to a marked degree.

GRACE E. HARTIE. ARCHBISHOP JOHN HUGHES. Fourth Prize. On June 24, 1797, in far l'l: L‘oun- ty Tyrone, Ireland, a baby boy was born that was destined to be, wun but one exception the .r-hn ishop America ever had, As is too often the case, (XI! family lost their money and the father was obliged to comc to America, to be fol- lowed shortly after by his wife and children. They settled in Chambers- burg, Pennsylvania, in 1816. John sought and secured a position n Emmetsburg in hopes of making some arrangements to enable him to attend college, for he longed to be a priest and the loss of the money had been a severe blow to him. How delighted he was when he found that he could attend college if he consented to superintend the gar- den work on the college grounds. His college record is an honored one and after studying theology he was ordained in 1826 by Bishop Con- neli of Philadelphia, who was very proud of him and used to say that he would be a bishop. Twice he was disappointed In not being made bishop, but God wanted him for & more uous labor. In 1832 he became prominent in the famous Hughes-Breckenbridge debate which resulted in the Presbyterian di- vine's discomfited retreat from the fleld. In 1828 he was consecrated coadjutor bishop of New York but soon became bishop. During the rest of his life ke was prominent as a defender of, the faith. In 1539 he went to Burope for the if- terests of nis flock and everywhere met with & warm and geherous welcome. Large subscriptions were given him and when he teturned he established St John's college, Fordham, now in the ‘care of the Jesuits. About the same time he established the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, who are famous for théir we‘lliwu‘:lctld n"l..d' :l:l- Especial atten! . public school question..

Then in an addrese full of enthusiasm and earnestness he appealed to his eonla and the result was_very gratifyin About this time (hen was great de- struction of church property in Phila- delphia, and matters_threaiened to be Iikewise in New York, but Bishop Hughes warned the mayor and coun- cil that it would not be wise to permit this. His sincere carnestness and lov- ing manner won the heart of all who knew him, no matter of what creed. President Lincoln and other prominent men were his staunch friends and longed. to him a cardinal. During the civil war he was sent to France on an important public mission. \ In 1850 New York was made or. arch- dlocese and_he received the pallium from Plus IX. In 1851 he laid the cornerstons of St. Patricies cathedral and ralsed enor- mous sums for its building. But the terrible strain of work and the thought of the immense debt of the archdiocese told ot his health. During the dratt riots he made a speech in July, 1883, but was not able to stand while talking. 'On Jan. & 1864, there entered into rest one of God's mwst faithful ser- vants, one deserving of a place of honor and respect in every trus Amer- ican heart. NORWICH TOWN.
