By ARTHUR EVERETT

NEW YORK, fAPl' - Ah, the wind it blew and the flags they flew for the Irish on parade as they followed a line of green sublime along Fifth avenue.

Excitement grew as New York anew marked St. trick's holiday. and a marching t rong stepped iirlsk along 'mld a sea of shunrocks 'l'll9.

There were Monaghans. Corri- zans. Murphys and Doyles, Dug- zans, Currans, Sheahans and Boylcs.

The official police estimate of a roaring mass of spectators lined night-deep Tuesday along the 52- block line at march was 1.800.000- me of the greatest ever to pay homage to Erin's patron saint. The sun was bright as a colleen's smile when the parade started out from Mih street. The Av nuc's centre line had a special c t of greeh paint.

But the brightness vanished as

the marchers leaned into a chill I5-mile an hour lieadwlnd for the 56-mlnuw hike to 98th street.

Massed bands sent wave upon wave of sound reverberating against the concrete cliffs of the Avenue - "The Wearing o' the Green," "Mc- Namara's Band," "Ha.rriga.n"' "Gar- ryorwen" and many another tune to rleliglit the old hearts that were born to the green.

All New York turned Irish for a day and the city was a garden of green-green flags, green carna- lioris and shamrodcs. green ties,
