Philo Celts.
The Philo Celtic picnic at Scheut¬
zen park on September 6th should be
patronized by all Irishmen. It repre¬
sents a sentiment which is near
and dear to the Irish race, name¬
ly, the cultivatvation and preserva¬
tion of the language of their unfortu¬
nate country. It is time, in this civi¬
lized age, for the Irish people to em¬
erge from the bondage in which tyran¬
ny has bound them for the last seven
centuries. Though the chains of ma¬
terial bondage are yet gnawing the vi¬
tals of our kindred at home, let Irish¬
men show that in this free land they
can be no longer bound in mental bond¬
age. The cultivation of the language
has been undertaken to break the lat-
ter chains, and all patriotic Irishmen
will assist in its accomplishment.
Then let all attend the Irish Language
picnic on the 6th of September.
Dunlevy — Miss Dunlevy occupied
the president's desk a few evenings
since to the delight of her associates.

ley are on the absentee list.

much pleased because of the large number of
young ladies and gents who have joined the socie¬
ty lately.
Kearney — Miss Kearney is an enthusiast stud¬
ent.
Costello — Miss Nora T. Costello P.C. Treasurer
thinks the P.C. movement the most patriotic idea
that engages the attention of Irishmen, because it
generates a sentiment which, when ripened, can¬
not be subdued.
Gilgannon — Mr. D. Gilgannon ex-prest of the
P.C.S, has been too interestedly engaged in busi¬
ness matters to take his usual summer vacation.
However he takes a run to Coney Island and Rock¬
away Beach now and again to enjoy the salubrious
air of these resorts.

jacent resorts. He returns quite vigorous and
happy.

mered at Stamford Conn. where he met a large
number of Gaels able to converse in native tongue
[How odd that all Gaels would not be able to do
so.)

with odd runs to Coney L and Rockaway Beach.
Casey — Our friend Mr. Wm. Sarsfield Casey has
burried himself in the mountains during the sum¬
mer.

We have received a large manuscript volume of
Munster poetry from Mr. Thos. Fitzgerald of St.
Mary's Ks. It was written in the latter part of the
last and the early part of this century. Mr. Fitz¬
gerald states that it has never appeared in print.
As soon as we can master the numerous contrac¬
tions which are employed by the writers, we shall
publish it in the Gael from time to time. It will
undoubtedly prove interesting to our Munster
friends. We thank Mr. Fitzgerald for his kind-
ness in placing it at our disposal.
Send One Dollar for the GAEL; it will
teach you to speak and write Irish.
Please send one, two, or three cent
stamps, or a postal order.
