ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Celebration Takes Place In Spite of
the Inclement Weather.
St Patrick's day was ushered in
this morning with a slow drizzling
raiu and the streets were so muddy
that it was really a mooted question
whether the parade in the celebration
of the day by the Hibernians and
.Catholic Knights would take place.
Another drawltack was the non-ar-
rival of the Emmett Rifles of Hous-
ton. who should have arrived at 7:25
o'clock on the Southern Pacific train
but were delayed owing to a slight
wreck until 1 o'clock p. m. aud could
not take part iu the parade. This in-
cident took the Belknaps Rifles and
the Zouaves out of the parade too.
but at 9 o’chock the weather did not
deter the Irish Societies headed by
Carl Beek's band from parading es-
corting the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the
A. O. £L and the clergy of St. Mary’s
church where solemn high mass was
celebrated.
At the' church were all the notable
city and county officials and many
prominent citizens. After mass the
societies rook lunch and at 1 o’clock
met the Emmett Rifibs at the train
and escorted them to the Belknap
armory.
Tonight the celebration will close
with a concert at Beethoven hall.
Everywhere on the streets were to
be seen shamrocks and green rtbltons
on coat lapels etc.
