In another column the sports programme for St. Patrick’s Day is given. All wishing to celebrate the time-honoured anniversary will find that their every wish has been studied and there is no reason why a 1 sociable and enjoyable day should not be spent. The ladies are given an opportunity to replenish their fancy stocks, whilst mere man has every opportunity of securing the price of one, without much exertion. And for the children, what with dancing and racing, theirs should be a glorious day indeed. The Turk’s Head contest gives everybody a chance of patronising something and the decorations foi the procession afford much scope for the aesthetic and patriotic lovers of old Erin to be in the business.
