- General note
- ‘The Father Mathew pavilion at the Cork exhibition was visited by thousands of people. Among the objects exhibited that once belonged to Father Mathew was the old altar from Blackamoor Lane, where the Father’s chapel and poor dwelling were. His vestments were in a case nearby, his little piano, walking-stick, chairs, tables, clock, portraits innumerable; the banner carried in his first temperance procession; temperance medals worn by Father Mathew himself or received from his hand; in fact, hundreds of treasured mementos of a great and good man’.
