A banquet was tendered the candi
dates and visiting Knights by the
ladies of St. Patricks parish, the
banquet being served in the old John
Brennan store building. Owing to the
lateness of the hour the ban
quet was reached the literary part of
the program started with the “eats”
and continued throughout. John A.
Harmon presided as toastmaster and
performed that duty in his usual in
imitiable manner. Master McCarthy
favored the guests with a couple of
selected recitations. A quartette

work they had done for the men in

orator and his address was greatly ap
preciated by the banquetors Rev.

for. He said that he was glad of the
opportunity to come to O’Neill and
see the beautiful little city of which
he had heard so much and congratula
ted the people on the splendid insti

his address and many regretted that
the lateness of the hour prevented
him from delivering a more extended
one. D. H. Cronin spoke briefly on
legislation that had been enacted at
the recent session of the legislature.
E. H. Whelan closed the banquet With
a short address. Ed. is a prime
favorite as an after dinner speaker,

briefly on this occasion. With the

pleasant evening and many of the out
of town Knights expressed the hope
that they would soon again have
