SYDNEY
United Press Association—By Klectrio Telegiaph—Copyright (Received March 18th, 12.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 17. The weather was fine for the. St. Patrick's Day celebration. The sneakers, including Archbishop Kelly and Mr R. Hazelton, the- Irish delegate, strongly advocated Home Rule. Archbishop Kelly declared that if affairs were properly managed, Home Rule was as certain in tho near future as tho rising of tho sun. Many men said they would lay down their lives for Ireland, but give him tho man who would lay down his glass for Ireland. Anyone who would do this for tiio sake of Irish prosperity and credit was hotter than those who went about saying they would sacrifice their lives.
The sports included tho 440 Yards Hurdle Championship of New South Wales, which was won by Frascr in 62 1-osec, and the Mile Championship, which was won by Wood, in 4min 33 4-ssec.
