The lecturer divided his subject into two parts. • In the first he dealt with Irishmen who* distinguished themselves in Parliament, and as sculptors, painters, poets, and at the bar. In the second part the lecturer showed that Ireland enjoyed great prosperity under self-government, that national decay followed the destruction of the Irish Parliament, and' answered several of the objections to Home Rule. Mr. Sullivan spoke without notes, and from beginning to end he held the close attention of his audience. He dealt with Ireland's past glories, her decadence and struggles to avert it, and finally her heroic efforts against tremendous odds to win back Home Rule. The lecture was a very able one,' and was frequently applauded. Songs were sung during the evening by Mr. and Mrs. Bourke and Miss Lorrigan, Miss Nellie Ormond being accompanist. The proceeds are to aid the Irish Parliamentary fund.
