exceedingly well in their and collars of green aud gold. Tne waking was somewoat heavy after the storm, but was ordered and

the snow-plough out

made the way a8 smooth as possible aloog tne route of tbe procession.

It-was about a quarter of ten o'clock when the members of Division No. 1, Ancient,Order of Hibernians, headed by Chief Marshal Campbell aod Galbraith’s vand, left their ball on Queen Street and marched to the hall of the Benevolent Irish Society, on Kent Street, where they were joined by th- members of that orgau- wauon aod the League of the Cross bana, under Chiet Marepa: Connolly. The two societies here formed iu line, the Hiversians taking the lead, and marched

io ©6St. .Denstan’s Cathedral by way of (Jueeu, Hichmond and Great George Streets.

Ibe eervice iv the Cathedral was very impressive. His Lordship Bishop Me- Donald occupied his throue, sssisted by Father Claike and Dr. McMillan. Higo Maes was celebrate’ ty Father McLeilao, sesisted by Dr. Movaghan as deacon and Dr. Curran as sub-deacon. The cerre- monies were directed by Rev. Dr. Morrison.

fhe sermon of the day was preached by Rev. P. D. MeGuigan, who wok for his text Esther, Vievin: **Horor 1s he wortay of whow tbe king (of King-) bah a mind to honor.” Atter epeuking of the prive of ancestry whicd has characterised «i peo- ples through aj! ages, be ported out that next to their rejigion proudest til that could be bestowed upon them today was to be called{ristumea or the descend- auts of lrien parentuze.

Of ail the vames.which the church has had eurgliled ander her illuctratiou binaer pore is .more woriuy .o te held in fond remembrance by a gratetal people than the holy spostie of Ireiaad and Ireland’s taith—tne glorious 3: Patrick.

where he was consecrated ihe first bisno; of the Irieb nation by Pope Cele-tive!

Thus appointed he reiurned to Ireland to teach and to preacu aod to fed with beavenly manoa the tender souls c m- mitted to his enre.

Where ts the laad trom ihe frozen norch to the disiant south, irom tbe giitering cast to the sill brighter wesi, tbat bas not seen the face of our peopie and heard their voice? Glory, honour aud fame bas been their portion both in charch and state, ‘i he seed of Divine faith sown on that rich Irieh soil could vot fail wo produce aposiles, bishops aud boly martyrs. vat bigb-spirited honesty, that love ef truth avd justice, that nobleoess and sterling worth of characier, could not fail to win places of honor sud distinction in parlia~

Atter the service the societies formed in procession on Great George Street in front of the Cathedral and before return- ing to their respective meeting -rooms paraded the principal streets of the city.
