Dublin hosts International Rifle Match inviting American teams
The Lord Mayor of Dublin invites Trish and American rifle teams to a May event, with the Masonic body hosting the American rifemen. The Evening Mail confirms no Fenian influence among visitors, and many Americans have rented Dublin apartments for the event. The St Louis Globe derides them as Munchausen memoirs. Canker worms threaten Maine apple orchards.
