PRESENTATION BY THE HIBERNIAN SOCIETY OF A PORTRAIT OF COMMODORE BARRY TO THE CITY.

On Monday evening, March 18th, 1895, the Hibernian Society of Philadelphia celebrated its one hundred and twenty-fourth anniversary by a banquet at the Continental Hotel. The chief guest of honor was Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy. Hon. Edwin S. Stuart, President of the Society, presided.

The following is the report of The Philadelphia Press of the presentation of the portrait of Commodore Barry: When the feast of good things had reached coffee and cigars, an interesting event took place in the shape of a presentation to the city of a handsome portrait of Commodore John Barry, an early member of the society. It is a fine picture, copied from Gilbert Stuart's portrait, now in possession of W. Horace Hepburn, of this city, whose wife is a grandniece of Commodore Barry, and inherited the portrait. Mrs. Hepburn is also a granddaughter of Commodore Bainbridge. The portrait is framed beautifully and appropriately.

General St. Clair Mulholland, in handing over the portrait to the city, said:

"The Hibernian Society wishes to present to the city the beautiful work of art you see here-it is a portrait of one of our early members, John Barry, of Wexford, one of the most illustrious of Ireland's sons; a brilliant child of the winds and waves, a heroic warrior of the sea, who never knew defeat.
