The order was placed with Power's Distillery, Thomas- street, by Sir Thomas Lipton and Co, who are entering the whiskey trade. The! consignment lert the Distiller^ in 150 floats and vans of Messrs Power and Sons, and the .route lay through , Victoria quay, Wood quay, Merchant's jt ' quay, Parliament-street, Dame-street:* Westmoreland street and O'Connell Bridge, to the Custom House quay. The procession was watched by a number of people at different points on the route. On the barrels was a j large poster with the inscription — " Irish Whiskey forLipton's, London."
