Besides receiving many felicitous messages and expressions of goodwill, Mr and Air® Cosgrove- wene presented with a large number of suitable gifts as tangible proof of the esteem in which they were held by their friends. Wedding bells hung over the supper board, and a- magnificent decorated cake -provided the- completing link in a- chain of reminiscences extending over a quarter of -a- century. The Rt2v. Father Furlong and the Rev. Father Sclnmoff paid graceful tribute to the popularity of Air -and Airs Cosgrove, particularly .as workers on behalf of the Catholic Church on the Shore.
