The trend of most of the j-pecche wns along tlio lino of un npiienl for peipetuutlon of the traditions and custom: of tho langiiage of the Celtic race, an although the speeches wero humorous for the most pan,' there was evidenced through, them a stioug undei current of neiuiK i or iroianu aim some speakers I urged Iho coopcintlon of the Order of their legislative struggle ngnlnst Eng- nd.

After BTnee had been said by the Rev, W. J. O'Sulllvan, the Stnte chnn- nln, the Row W. P. Crosby, chaplnln f the local division, wns cnllcd upon.' lis remarks wero mostly along hu morous lines but ho took occasion to lve tho visitors a hearty wclcomo and : give some ndvlce to the younger members of tho order. He Bftld thnt lthough they had many advantages, not enjoyed by their ancestors, the natives of Ireland had one great ad vantage, nnd thnt was tho fact that they were surrounded by members of their own race and were not (ln dnnger of being assimilated by other races. Father Crosby's remarks were fol- owed by a vocal solo by Miss Bren- nan of Poultney, who In turn wns fol- owed by Mayor Burke. After wel coming the guests, Mayor Burke apol ogized for not tnklng a more active part In the convention of members of lis own race but said that the dny ind been a hard one for him and hat he hnd Just come from getting trimmed." Ho afterwards passed to a short sketch of men of Irish descent, who , were playing Important parts In the world to-day. He said that nmong the so- clallt or anarchist ranks, not one Irish , Catholic could be found and spoke for 1 their high order of citizenship. I Thomas Magner next spoke and his re- marks were directed toward an nppenl 1 for loyalty to the mother country. He, un- Ike most of those present, was born In i tho Emerald Isle and perhaps for that j reason appreciated morn fully the condi tions under which Ireland as at pres ent struggling. lie told of the part played hy Ireland In the history of Christianity and said that never In her history had the future looked so bright. Ho closed with fin appeal for the Hibernians of this Stnte to help In the struggle for home, rule, headed by John Redmond, whom ho characterized as the ablest statesman In tho world to-day. le wanted the Irishmen of this State to take steps to hocomo members of the Irish National League nnd scored the Anglo-Saxon race. which had been such a bitter enemy to Ireland. Mr. Magner's remarks were followed by l lecltatlon by Miss Emmons of Montpcl- er nnd T. J. McDonnell, county president. who spoke briefly, urging those present to take up the matter of having Irish his-1 tory taught In thu parochial schools In I their home towns. After this Miss Mr- j Grath of Poultney rendered a vocal solo and then the Rev. W. J. O'Sulllvan of ! Montpeller was called upon. Father O'Sulllvan thought that the people thero hnd heard him once before during the dny nnd did not attempt nny lengthy address. He felt that the future of the ordei was snfe because of the larger num ber of the young members and thoufht the Ladles' Auxiliary especially valuable. He said that the women of Ireland had dono much that the men could not, and one of these things was to conquer the ronquerers of the Island. Ho urged the young women to walk In the footsteps of their mothers. MKs Eleanor Dwyer of West Rutland then gave a recitation and Miss Force of the bame place gave n piano solo. The Rev. Father Dwyir was called upon but said that everything had been said beforo him and excused himself on that ground. Muster Emmett O'Brien then sang rome Irish songs which wero heartily en cored. Ptnto President Mnhoney was ntt called upon and after n short ad dress from him, the Kerry danco wns given by four young ladles and four boys. Tills proved to be one of the hits of the evening nnd wns applauded to the echo The daniers wore the picturesque cos tumes of the Irish peasants nnd the j dance was gracefully executed. The par ticipants wero the Misses N'clllo McNaJly, Gertrude Monnhan. Marguerite Wriqht nnd Mnigaret O'Brien, Edward Powers, Earl Flaherty, James Ixmergan nnd Forrest Mnynnrd. The Hon. Edward J. Rlattery came next i and delivered an eloquent nddress. He did not dwell long on the story of Ireland's' wrongs as that had been covered by other speakers. Ho preferred to talk ralher of tho gratifying stato of affairs at present and of the accomplishments of united Irishmen, such as tho Ancient Order of Hibernians. He nlso traced the history of tho order and gave many facts, which weie new to those present. Tho society during tho past two years with the Ixidles' Auxiliary hns spent more than a million dollnrs for charitable purposes nmong members of the order, nnd over JlOn.OOO on causes outside of the order. It hud grown to such prooortlons that to-day, In spite of the large ex penditures, tiie nsn-ts amounted lo inoro than two millions. He said thnt the order was not at first founded for the three principles of Friendship, Unity nnd Chris tianity, but hud been founded by a small body of men, three centuries ago, who had taken vows to never cense In their efforts to secure for Irelaud'the freedom of religious worship nnd tho preservation of the spirit of Ii eland, Mr. Slnttery spoke of the conditions at thnt time, when young hoy were exiled to the Barbndoes and men and women suffered the grentest outrage" In the history of tho civilized world. Ho traced the progress, step by step, to tho present conditions nnd said that they hud been obtained by a united Ireland. He told of Redmond's vic tories nnd what they meant to Ireland, taking up In detail the land' act, the laborer's act, old age pension net nnd down to the establishment of n nation al university, which ten years ngo would hnvo besn undreamed of. To dny the Irish in nil parts of tho world, with one or two minor exceptions, are united nnd It Is the duty of overy Irishman, In payment for tho privi leges grnntcd him, to engngn In the stiugglo. Tho spenkor thought that homo rule would In a short time come to Irelnnd. and nrgued that under tho tutorship of John Redmond and simi lar statesmen the Irish had now be come able to govern themselves. In closing, he urged an adherence to the old principles and unity. VETERANS HAVE PICNIC. Are tddrrsseil by f'ongrrsicmiin Foster nml lr. Mend Odlcers elected.
