We hope correspondents will notify us of any mis¬

The N Y Gaelic Society's annual Feis Ceoil was
very successful. But what does a local thing of the
kind amount to? We are constantly trying to make
them start a Gaelic journal which would circulate
through the country and bring the movement prom¬
inently before the general public. See what the lit¬
tle Gael is doing, as may be seen by the last issue —
It has caused hundreds, from Maine to California, to
become acquainted with the language and to take
an interest in its propagation.
We have just received a a communication from M
Downey, Montague, Mich. reporting the organiza¬
tion of a Gaelic society which they name,
THE IRISH PARAGON SCHOOL.
The officers elected are, President, Wm. Flinn;
Vice President, James Farrell ; Treasurer, Thomas
Hayes; Financial Secretary, Thomas Gaynor; Cor
Secretary, Maurice Downey.
The organizers, principally, are readers of the
Gael and thank it "For the noble part which it has
taken in Old Ireland’s language, as we find in Gael
of August 1890, by Gabhar Donn Here follows a
long quotation from the Gabhar Donn.” A resolu¬
tion was adopted recommending the re-issuing of Fr.
Nolan's Irish Prayer Book, and the teaching of the
language in all seminaries and colleges preparing
candidates for the priesthood, and that certain Sun¬
days should be named for taking up special collect¬
ions for that purpose.
William Flinn,
President.
Maurice Downey
Cor. Sec.
Too much credit cannot be accorded Mr Downey
in this relation ; he is a worker.
We hope other societies will follow the example
our Montague friends.
Con. C Murphy who organized a large club in
Port Costa, Cal. is now in San Francisco, but he
left in charge a substantial lieutenant, Mr D Casey.
New York friends, don't be "playing tag” with
the Gaelic movement but go into it aright by issu¬
ing your journal, and then you will be in a position
to show fruit, like THE GAEL.
Owing to pressure on space again we are obliged
to hold over O'Curry, Meehan (Dublin), which is
long, the Report of the Dublin S P I Language,
and a lot of other matter.
J J H, We have had no time yet to hunt up why
the South is called up and the North down.
Read Mr Doherty’s communications carefully.
No living man can write better Irish than E L
Blake's Tobar Deire an Domhain, continued on
first page.
Politicians, Corporations, publishers, manufac¬
turers, etc. cover the land with pamphlets, hand-
bills, newspaper articles, etc. to bring their vari¬
ous interests before the public because they make
money by it, — There is more real value to the Ir¬
ish people in the publication and dissemination of
Spalding's Extracts than in all the above put to¬
gether, and behold, how insignificant the cost!
