dignitaries

See - tidesandtales.ie/hms-juno-and-stormcock-at-waterford-1902/ I expect that we will find out more ...

From above site - "... The occasion was a Vice regal tour of the coast by the then Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Dudley. Along with other dignitaries they had toured the south coast aboard HMS Juno (1895) examining coastal defences, sights of interest and visiting and/or attending social engagements at Glengarriff, Cork City and finally dropping anchor at Dunmore East on Wednesday 29th October 1902. The plan for the day was that what was described as a Royal Navy Tender Stormcock would convey the party up the harbour to the city. In the city they were to meet the town dignitaries. The report goes on to say that “…Alderman W G Goff, Jr, Glenville… will place his two motor cars at the disposal of their Excellencies. After lunch with Alderman Goff they will take a drive in the neighbourhood. They will then return the Juno and sleep on board, the Juno meanwhile proceeding Kingstown, which will be reached on Thursday morning. Their Excellencies will then return by special train from Kingstown to Dublin ..."

Ecellent!!

The Capuchin Archives think this is Irish National Convention of the Land League, Dublin, 1881.

I see a related Facebook page suggesting the bearded gent at left is Michael Davitt.

April 29th, 1880, in the Concert Room of the Rotunda in Dublin

The note on the back says:

Group of delegates at Rotunda Gardens
N.I.L. or Land League?
in eylidas [can't make that out]

On the front it says:
Richard Sheiling Sheehy Snr.
(2nd row, old man standing)

And at right there is an arrow identifying a David Sheehy

Niall McAuley More than happy to accept September 1881 if the Capuchin Archives say so.

Per the DIB: Sheehy, David (1844–1932), parliamentarian and agrarian radical, was born 14 October 1844 in Broadford, Co. Limerick, second of three children of Richard Sheehy, mill owner, and Johanna Sheehy (née O'Shea)

The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried

..and there's a 1909 date in the margin.
