BROOKLYN MATTERS:
THE PHILO CELTIC SOCIETY.
The Philo Celtic Society held its annual picnic
at Scheutzen Park on Sept. 14, and as is usual on
such occasions, the order and decorum which pre-
vailed during the afternoon and evening reflect the
highest credit on the members and their patron-
izers. Not one incident oecurred to mar the pleas-
ure of the occasion. The Irish was the language
of the day, and it was a noticeable fact that nearly
all who entered the grounds spoke more or less of
that language ; there were some to be sure whose
efforts to do so caused considerable amusement,
nevertheless they seemed to take some pride in
knowing more or less about it. The attendance
was fair and select ; there was none of that rough
element which generally patronizes such assembla-
ges present, this is principally owing to the fact
the society would countenance ungentlemanly be-
havior under any circumstances. In other socie¬
ties the whole concern is as to whether such an
enterprise would pay, and consequently would
make all classes welcome: It is quite different
with the Philo Celts. They would at all times
prefer the absence of the rough to their admission
fee ; this is tolerably well known now, hence the
selectness of the particepants. The weather was
splendid neither too warm nor too cold, and the
excellent music discoursed by Professor Nolan's
band afforded the lovers of the terpsicorean art
full enjoyment. The older folk who performed
the jig reel, hornpipe, were attended to by Profes-
sor Egan on the Irish bagpipes, and the large drops
of perspiration which dotted the platform bore
ample testimony to that.
“The dancing pairs sought renown
By holding out to tire each other down."
The affair was both a pleasurable and a financial
success. All dispersed at ten o’clock highly de-
lighted and wishing every success to the Irish lan-
guage mevement.
