The Xew York Xation is authority for the statement that 00 per cent of the" real estate transfers in New York today arc to persons per-sons of the Jewish race. r : We have heard only golden opinions of the ar-lists ar-lists whom the. projectors of the Irish exhibit have brought over to the fair. The young men are representatives rep-resentatives of the best young men in Ireland, and the ladies are specimens of the best, loveliest, most accomplished daughters of Erin. The former are all disciples of Father Mathew; and. the latter have been received in our convents and by our best Catholic families; and everywhere they have -delighted and charmed tjieir new friends.
