Death of a well-known Piper
The death is announced of M.r. Robert Thompson, the well-known Irish piper, which occurred in Cork on March 21. Mr. Thompson gained notoriety as a piper by winning first prizo against all comers at the Feis Ceoil held in Dublin in 1897, and the following year at Belfast he was also successful in heading the list. As an all-round player of the pipes, and also as a maker of ' reeds,' Mr. Thompson had few, if any, equals in Ireland.
