Sec.The above notice announcing the new magazine of the Dublin Pipers Club was sent tomembers by postcard sometime in 1901. Six numbers appeared over that and the followingyear.

With the exception of P. Morran(with whom I have had much correspondence) I have had the pleasure of meeting thesepipers. They are as followsPatrick Morran, 629, West 170th St.,New York City : Eammon La Poirite, 132 AshlandAve., Des Plaines, Illinois ; Joe Shannon, 2619 N.Mobile, Chicago, IllinoisDave Page, 3720 N. Janssen Ave., Chicago, Illinois.

It is described as amhrainin do leanbh, a song for children,but otherconnotations are scarcely hidden in these linesAnonn s anall, is thrid an abhainn,A chailleach do mharais me, a chailleach do mharais me,Soir is siar, is frid an sliabh,A chailleach do mharais me, a chailleach do mharais me.Trid an saol is trid an bhfraochA gheobhajnn dem bhaitin ort, a gheobhainn dem bhaitin ort.
