On Feb. 1, 1898, the following invitation was issued to the members:
DEAR SIR:—You are hereby notified that the annual meeting of the
American-Irish Historical Society will be held at the Hotel San
Remo, New York City, Thursday evening, Feb. 17, 1898.
The San Remo is owned by a member of our society (Mr. Michael
Brennan) and is located at Central Park West, Seventy-fourth and
Seventy-fifth Streets. It is easy of access and excellently adapted
to a gathering such as we have in view.
There will be a business session of the society at 7 P.M., at which
the annual election of officers will take place. At 8 o’clock the
society and guests will proceed to dinner.
Gen. James R. O’Beirne, Vice-President of our society for New York
State, will preside.
The delegation from the New England states will include the Hon.
John C. Linehan, State Insurance Commissioner of New Hampshire; the
Hon. Thomas J. Gargan, Boston, ex-President of the Charitable Irish
Society (founded 1737); James Jeffrey Roche, LL.D., editor of the
Boston _Pilot_, and other prominent gentlemen.
At the business session an amendment to Article XII of the
Constitution will be offered. This article at present provides that
the executive council of the society shall consist of _ten_ members
(in addition to the general officers). The proposed amendment, if
passed, would change the language to read “not less than ten, nor
more than twenty.”
During the post-prandial exercises Mr. Joseph Smith, secretary of
the Police Commission, Lowell, Mass., will read a paper on “American
History as it is Falsified.”
Fraternally,
EDWARD A. MOSELEY,
President-General.
THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY,
Secretary-General.
The annual meeting of the American-Irish Historical Society was held on
Thursday evening, 17th inst., at the Hotel San Remo, New York City. A
large and representative gathering was present. Six states,—New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New
Jersey,—sent delegations. Fifteen states were represented by letters
expressing congratulations and good wishes.
