Limerick, Saturday. Orttiaa’s Hotel has been hosting distinguished Irish-American guests over the past week. Reverend Father Bonfield, Reverend Father Hurley, and Mr Edward T. Lavin, all hailing from Chicago, have been in residence, alongside Messrs. Peter and Thomas Hayes, Colonel Thomas G. Hayes, and Mr Devine from New York. Their stay has been marked by visits to various points of interest in and around the city.

The group, generously facilitated by Mr James Flynn, enjoyed a dedicated tour bus and attended the Horse Show yesterday. They expressed high praise for the impressive display of horses and the overall festivities. The visitors from Chicago and New York have added a cosmopolitan touch to the local scene, making the most of their time exploring Limerick’s cultural and recreational offerings.
