Proposed by Edward Fitzgerald, Lord Mayor of Cork, this exhibition and fair showcased many facets of the industrial revival in Ireland. The exhibition included a pavilion devoted to the life and work of Fr. Mathew. The installation of a Father Mathew Pavilion at the exhibition was primarily the result of work done by Fr.

Reference is also made to the Knights’ intention to build a statue of Fr. Mathew for the World Fair. ‘As it is the desire to make our statue after the one in Cork I have been asked to write to you to have you inquire whether there is a replica or moulds in existence of the Cork monument’. 24 Feb. 1903.

Letters from William Frederick Paul Stockley (Woodside, Tivoli, Cork, and Dún Meadon, Cork), to Fr. Henry Rope. The letters include references to Catholic literature and spirituality, the Gaelic League, academia, and the writings of various authors. Some of the letters refer to the contemporary political situation in Ireland (including discussion of the treatment of Irish political prisoners) and to events in Europe. One of the letters (17 Mar. 1921) refers to the case of Alice Cashel imprisoned in Galway Jail. Stockley writes ‘She is in prison for six months. He sister says she loves to hear poetry. She is a distinguished graduate, and teacher, and a fine type. She knows Irish well’. Stockley suggests that Father Rope could send her a copy of his poetry.
