THE FESTAL DAY OF ERIN'S SAINT, Brilliant Observance of the Feast of Ireland’s Apostle. ORATORY, MIRTH, SONG. Religious Services at the Cathe- | dral and the Other Churches. JUDGE SULLIVAN'S ORATION. Military and Navy Drill of the California Army and Naval Union. The sainted memory of Ireland’s apostle, the noble history of a doughty race, and the unborn glories of a nation yet to come —these were the centers about which the words, the songs and thoughts of many a San Franciscan clustered yesterday. St. Patrick’s day was right royally ob- served. Mirth and song, oratory and poetry, dancing and feasting were the or- der of the day for Erin’s sons and daugh- ters within our gates. Nor did religion fail to bless with hallowing touch the anni- versary whici: means so much for many of | those whose sweat and money have helped | to make this City and this State what they are. At the cathedral a solemn mass was celebrated, and similar services were held in St. Patrick’s and many of the other English-speaking churches, the congrega- tions being 'very large and the music un- usually fine. There was no parade, and perhaps no one missed it, as the omiszion was amply supplied by a continued round of entertainments of various kinds. At the old Woodward’s Pavilion the afternoon was devoted to a fine vocal and band concert and exhibition of stereopti- con views, while in the evening the Hon. J. F. Sullivan delivered an oration filled with true American patriotism, albeit tinged with a romantic veneration for the home of his ancestors. The Knights of St. Patrick gave a sump- tuous banquet, while those of the Red Branch neld their twenty-seyenth anni- versary ball. The young ladies of St. James parish gave an entertainment, the California Garrison of the Regular Army and Navy Union beld a military and naval drill and gave its third anniversary ball at the Mecbanics’ Pavilion, besides which other entertainments were given by several of the varioue religious and Irish patriotic associations. The day was perfect, though a little warm, and the night clear and cool. So many people in gala attire were on the streets that the City had quite a festive look. Everywhere the verdant folds of Erin’s flag floated in the air, while on fair bosoms and on brawny chests reposed the little shamrock which® 8t. Patrick used in THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNEEDAY, radiated by the golden glory of Hibernia’s synburst. The afternoon programme was & nov- elty in its way. There were no speeches, no poem, no oration; but the volleys of applause, which at .frequent intervals | shook the old pavilion to its foundations, | certainly went far to prove that the cele- | bration” was a success. Roncovieri, the man who as a trombose-player used to make artists and ladies rave, was there with his well-arijled band of forty pieces, and under bis able direction the overture | fect harmony combined with melodies which all the audience knew by heart. The overtare terminated with a glorious [ fortissimo rendering of +The Harp | Once Through Tara’s Halls,” the louder | instruments carrying the melody, while | fife, piccolo and fluté vied with each other | tricate variations. As the first bars of the ancient sonzx were heard the paviiion was suddenly | darkened, and on a canvas 35x35 feet in area appeared a stereopticon picture of Ireland’s apostle. The majestic pose of | the noble figure, robed in the dignified attirements of the early Christian epis- copate was striking in its simple yet im- posing beauty. A magnificent series of views then followed each other in rapid monuments and scenes of beauty passin in review before the beholders’ delighte from the compositions of Celtic musicians, | ancient and modern. ¢ | At intervals the light was admitted in order to give the musicians a breathing spell and to give place to the numbers of a | well chosen vocal and literary programme. vantage in “Dublin Bay,” while | Annie L.

Lifgoos it AT WOODWA Musical and Literary Programme, With a Fine Display of Stere- opticon Views. Oid San Franciscans, and there were many of them at the St. Patrick’s day celebration at Woodward’s Pavilion, found it difficult to remember that they were getting on in years. and that the ancient glory of the “gardens’’ had departed. The interior of the old pavilion had assumed the festal grace of days gone by and, filled with a crowded but good tempered throng, seemed to have become itself again., Festoons of snowy white and RD’S PAVILION. living green, bespangled with golden stars, in- tertwined in close embrace with the red, white and blue of the land which has since revolutionary days opened its portals to the ovpressed of every creed and nation. The shamrock of Erin and the palm of Cali- fornia, the harp of Celtic bards of old and the panner of the starsand stripes, grouped themselves gracefully about the American eagle, whose outstretched wings were ir- .’ and retired from the stage with | her arms full of lovely floral tributes. | . A magnificent exhibition of Irish jiz and | hornpipe_dancing was then given by Messrs. Keller and O'Connor. Both gen- tiemen were in full dress with green | cravats and knee-breeches. Their aancing | was a marvel. Few queens of the ballet | would be able to keep time to the peculiar, | exacting measure of the ancient dance as | well. Many of the evolutions were most | intricate and difficult, while all were grace- | ful, and bursts of applause rewarded the | dancers for their skill. Mr. Hood then sang “A Hundred Fath- oms Deep,” being followed by Miss Ki by in “Erin, the Tear and the Smile in Thine Eye.”” The singers were accompan- ied on the piano by Miss Marie Giorgiani, organist of the old Cathedral. { A spirited picture history of American war times was then thrown on the canvas. The applause during the Irish views had been loud and long, but when the more familiar scenes of the Union’s struggle for freedom made their appearance cheer upon cheer made the Pavilion ring. Sev- eral portraits of American generals and war-heroes were next displayed, the en- tertainment closing with a gund' dissolv- ing view in the midst of which the Nation's u{le flapped his wingi to the measure of the ‘“*Star Spangled Banner,’’ Miss Catherine Black singing the verses and the audience joining in the chorus. !

The well disciplined ushers had all they could do to pack late comers in places where they would be least | uncomfortable and be most unlikely to in- | commode others. The brilliant illumina- | tion set off the beauty and good taste of | the aecorations, rendering the scene one of | rare loveliness. Shortly after 8 o’clock the participants took their places on the stage. The guest of honor was his Lordship the Bishop of | Victoria, the Right Reverend Dr. Lem- mens, near whom was Thomas R.

An overture, consisting of a fantasia of Irish airs, rendered by Cassasa’s orchestra opened the evening exercises. Mr. Ban- nerman then made a brief iptroductory address, bidding welcome to all present in ing of McCann'’s typical Irish song “O’Don- neil Aboo,” after which the following Coem, written for the occasion by Howare /. Sutherland, was read by Leo Cooper: | Like trumpet sound from the western land. | This song goes forth to an old-world land, That fall like tears from the angels’ eves to | The banners of opposing hosts and proved And placed o’er thankless England’s brow: ‘Which made her Europe's arbitress on lan To Ireland loved with a western love by m | Which come to men in their golden youth And soon shall shine tor her the light that Her hands outstretched for the gift she cra | Her soldiers, poets, artists, priests, | But in her heart there are smoldering still That long to leap to her patient eyes to mal | And though her arms are as white as snow She feels full sure of her hidden strergth, I When heaven itself may hide its face in th Ten times ten thousand mighty men as ‘Who waic] | Will fight for Irish liberty like on Who know the sweets which Freedom give: And we, who hold God’s Deliverance to a sister land from long-born And though we trust that the wardrum’ The drowsy fields where the songbirds sin, ”i:he Western men and the Western maid: o Moore’s ballad, “Let Erin Remember,” | and Lover's rollicking song, “The Low- | backed Car,” were then given in a charm- ing style by Miss Mary L Sullivan, who was enthusiastically encored. The Hon. J. F. Sullivan, orator of the day, then delivered the oration. As the Judge’s well-rounded periods and glowin, | words flooded the old pavilion, cheers an applause were frequent. Judge Sullivan said: We are here to proclaim that Ireland is not | dead, and to add our annual testimoniul to the unyielding strength of the Irish race. In common with millions of the race, we conse- crate this day to the memories, and the hopes of that greenest isle of all the seas, sweet Innis- fail—the island of destiny. Though seven cen- turies have run their cycling course since Mec- Murrough’s tmchgr{ and Strongbow’s blight- ing invasion, the robber conqueror has not stripped the Gaei of the sacred feeling that the £0il he treadson is the immemorial inheritance of uncounted generations of heroes and legis- lators and saints. Who are we here assembled? We are citi- zens of the great Republic, some, like myself, horn u,on the soil to the heritage of liberty and others by cholce and mnmstlon of alle- ahnc« admitted to and charged with all the responsibilities of American citi- ; all of us bound up in ourselves and our terity with the destinies of the Ameri. can Republic.

With Scott they | climbed the Heights of Chapultepec and as- | sisted in carrying the glory of American arms | into the sacred precinets of the Montezumas. And again, when the grandest governmental fabric of the world’s history seemed to be trembling in the balance, and when it was feared it might be dissolved into its constitu- ent elements, men of Irish blood went forth in companies, in regiments, in brigades, by thousands upon thousands, to battle for the integrity of the Republic and the perpetua- tion of our libertics. We know that they stood in solid phalanx beside that hero Thomas Francis Meagher when rivailing the charge of { Balaklava; they scaled St. Mary’s Heights at Fredericksburg 1200 strong and left a thou- sand dead upon the field in proof of their loy- | alty to the Republic, Ve know that their stout hearts and brave arms were with that herowho never knew defeat | on that eventful day,when picking up the strag- | gling remnants of a routed army in his ride | from Winchester to Cedar Hill, Phil Sheridan | immortalized himself and endeared himself | forever to his countrymen. - And besides their | services on land and sea, we know that men of | Irish blood rendered distinguished service in that council chamber from which issued the second Magna Charta, the greatest charter of human liberty ever formulated, which de- clared that ‘““the American colonies were, and of right out to be, free ana independent states.” During the time of their severest struggles the people of this country have always had the moral support and encouragement of the Irish people. When, 11 1771, Benjamin Frank- | lin visited Dublin and came in contact with the leading g&trifll! of the Irish Pariiament, he wrote to his friends in America: “I find them disposed to be friends of | America in which I endeavor to confirm them table treatment from England might be ob- | tained for themselves as well as for us.”” | In 1775 Chatham asserted that Irelandon | the colonial question was with America to a | man. In the same year the colonists set such | a high value on Irish sympathy and so truly | understood its extent and influence that the | 150 pairs of NOVELTIE — XN — | b with the expectation that our growing weight | might in time be thrown in their scale and by , joining our interests with theirs a more_equi- IRISH POINT CURTAINS, in dainty and $7.50 Continental Congress addressed the Irish peo- | T i ple in this language: latest designs, at.. ..

We hope that the patient abid- | unresisted and irresistible; undisturbed by anarchy, yet completely obeying the will of the governed.” i In the very nature of things the American { heart should beat in unison with every at- tempt at popular government wherever made. Appreciating fully the plessings we enjoy we naturally take a pride in the development in other lands of the republican principles which we profess and practice. Wherever there is oppression of the masses we sympathize with the oppressed. Wherever there is well-regu- lated, earnest, gradual development of the in- telligence and power of the masses and con- certed endeavor to place government in the hands of those most concerned—the people themselyes—we rejoice at it. 3 Whenever a chieftain in the ever-continuing | confiict for human liberty falls, whatever his faith, his tongue or his lineage, whether hedie upon the snowy plains of Poland, among the classic isles of Greece, under the mild Italian skies, upon the vineclad hills of France or amid the mountain fastresses or emerald val- leys of Ireland, America hastens to attest her love of liberty and her affection for the hero | who wages battle in her behalf. Shall we, as Americans, who haye achieved our own freedom by sacrifice of blood, our own, and of Dblood freely drawn from other lands; shall we who have ireely lent sympathy, money, arms and men to other revolutionary States, refuse our sanction to the peaceful, heroic, sublime effort of Ireland in the cause of human liberty? Freedom, magnanimity, humanity, christian- ity, blessed memories of the pest, irresistible | impulses of the present, iofty hopes for the future throughoutall generations, in all climes —earth and heaven forbid. In this connection I have often thought that this sentiment was most beautifully and ap- propriately recognized in the conduct of the French people in the offering made to the | | people of the United States of the colossal | statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World.” At the entrance to our grandest metropolitan harbor this symbolical figure standsas the embodiment of the Nation’s sentiment, as the | expression of the Nation’s voice, s & repre- | | sentative of the Nation’s hopes and prayers for | the universal emancipation of human kind. As the symbol stands, facing the storms and | billows of the Atlantic, bidding welcome to its | storm-tossed travelers,so may in reality the | heart and voice and sentiment of the Ameri- | can people look out upon the ocean of popular | strife_for self-government, and 5o may they weleome the peoples of the world into the haven i i popular government after they have thrust aside the trappings of tyranny, and $0 may they continue to do Till the war drum throbs no longer and the battle- flags are furled In the parliament of man, the federation of the world.
