Editor New York Sun: Not long ago you printed a letter aeserting that the phrase, “‘painting the town red,” s of comparatively recent and cleatlantic ori- gin. 1 beliove it a the paraphrase of an expression that frequently ocours in old Irish ta'ladry. In looking over a col- lection of old Irish war songs and ballads descriptive of the sanguinary conflicts be- tween the Irish chieftains and the Anglo. Norman invaders of Ireland, I have fre- quently found phrases closely akin to that of ‘‘painting the town red.” For instance, when the Irish Kernes under William MacGecghegan, Lcrd of Kenil parents, Mr. snd Mrs. A.
