Special meetings of the League, Hibernians Gaelic Athletic Clubs acid other Nationalist and patriotic bodies were called for the purpose of hearing the members' views on the movement and i.n every case an absolutely unanimous decision in favour of it was the result. The Committee delegated some of its members as organiser:s to the special meetings, and the members have nothing but unstinted praise for the kind and enthusiastic receptions they received.

The Com. mittee owe a debt of gratitude to the men for the patience and gocd-feeling which they maintained throughout .especially those members who had reached an ad'lanced stage in the drill. Members maybe assured, however, that want of accommodation was not clue to the laxity on the part of the Committee. uut rather to the inany adverse agents which are actively at work in this city. There need be zio fear of a repetition of last week's rather un·' disciplined parcdes, as the commodious and very suitable premises ill 'Bank street have been engaged, and full arrangements have bee!} made for the formation of definite and perm~nt companies.

Work, however, was not altogether laid aside, as some effective rifle' practice was carried out by the older reo cruits, the newer men gathering round watching the drill with great interest.

.----:? __ Company A III Killarney has ,been the. centre of propaganda and orzaaisine for the whole Barony. The Vol;nteers "'were established in the town about two months ~go. There was no oratory nor any blow. mg of trumpets on the occasion. The ~rill_ing has. been going on quietly since III t~e Gaelic Han. Realising at the beglllnlng that to organise and drill the district a great number of instructors would be required, the Killarney Company turned all their attention. to acquiring a thorough iaastcry- of squaa, section and company drill in order that there might lbIC' no dearth of instru-ctors when an effort would be made to organise OJ, whole Regiment for the Barony. The result of this attention to drill is that the company here has at:tained to almost absolute perfection. A few weeks ago the first move was made to organise the outside places. A company was formed at Azbadoe. On the-follow. ing Sunday another was formed at lIIucross. Rathmore was next attended to, and has now its company, well drilled and enthusiastic. On Sundav week Ballvhar company was formed, 100 joining immediatcly. On Sunday two new districts wer .c taken up, viz, Kilcummin and Genfiesk, At the former plaee a most suecesslul start was made, 120 signing on with much enthusiasm. A full company fell in at Gleann Flcisge and surprised their instructors, so 'apt were they in mastering military evolutions. On Sunday next -it is proposed to organise the parish of the famous Siothbharai, or Tuogh, and proJ.nhl~· . abo' th.e p':l!'is~, Cneeveguilla ~.:l~ 1: tries. The battallcrs fer the Barony will then be complete, and due attention can be given to organisation. and trairung. The Killa,rney Compa.ny has in i;! about 30 D:l_en who are competent to teach section and :ompa!1y drill. :Ihose men zre sent out to th.e different cen;!'"s-3 or 4 to e:lch :)lacc-o:J S·und:lYs. Thus the training ~~.;l n~\.r go on regnlar~y and effectively, lDd tlle b:l.:ta1icn ~3 a ',vhole can be easil.Y h:lndled. 8,.,.,Y}d ID<!de as oerfect in drill as the Killarney Ccmpany -has been made by :heir c,'"tp~b1e and enthusiastic drill Inaster :\:r. :'I·Go\~-crn.
