DUBLINERS OF THE Georgia variety Saturday had a parade, tennis and softball tournaments and a grand country club ball in St. Patrick's honor.
Fire hydrants and the white street lines along the parade route in Columbus, Ohio, were painted green for yesterday's festivities.
But no green beer flowed in Duffy's Shamrock Restaurant in downtown Denver, where about 10,000 customers crowded to celebrate St. Patrick's Day last year. The owners this year closed their doors for the day rather than deal with rowdy revelers.
About 250,000 spectators turned out for the parade in Dublin, making it the city's biggest event.
The parade boasted 32 bands and 100 gaily colored floats along with assorted drill teams
and civic groups, a city official said.
The fact that St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday turned the traditional one-day celebration into a two-day spree. The Irish began "drowning the shamrock" – drinking beer — early yesterday and wouldn't let up until tonight.
IRISH PREMIER GARRET FitzGerald was to have presided outside Dublin's historic General Post Office building but represented by Finance Minister Alan Dukes.
"Everyone is off work on Monday because St. Patrick's happens to be on a Sunday," said a spokesman for the Federalized Union of State universities and factories will be closed tomorrow."

Cork's Lord Mayor Liam Burke called
O'Neil a great friend of Ireland and the congressman, with gifts of glitter and glassware.
"I feel as if I have come home," O'Neill said.
Earlier he visited the nearby town of Mallow. His grandparents emigrated from there to the United States in the 19th century, and he was born there in Ireland for talks with political leaders.
St. Patrick's Day celebrations are usually the preserve of Catholic nationalists in Ulster.
In Belfast, the Orange Order, Northern
largest's Protestant, had a huddle
of its own.
Last week, the head of the Orange Order, the Rev. Martin Smith, accused Catholic leaders of "hijacking" the occasion and called it a platform for nationalist propaganda.
Checks continued from p. 1
JIM LEWIS, OWNER and operator of the Rusty Food's Center, 901 Iowa St., said bad check was a serious business. He said he did not report the check, he said, regardless of the amount.
"I would if I could prosecute every bad check writer," he said. He called the total amount of bad checks written annually staggering.
At his store yesterday. Lewis pulled out a
file cabinet drawer stuffed with little yellow slips. Each slip listed a bad check that the store was tracking down.
Lewis said one reason Rusty's got so many was because so many students wrote checks
"We get a larger number of smaller checks," he said. "That's why we limit the

that is written by a first-time offender, it sends it to Checkrite, a Topeka-based check collection agency. Checkrite writes a letter to the person who wrote the check. Lewis said.
If the person doesn't pay up, the check may be sent to a national collection agency. If that fails, the case is reported to the district attorney's office for prosecution.
Both Rusty's and Kroger use the Checkrite service.
Options for animal care unit examined
By GREG LARSON Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — The future is cloudy for the animal care unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center, which has been criticized by government agency and by animal rights groups.
The Kansas Board of Regents voted Friday to allow Med Center officials to ask the Legislature for $490,000 to plan the renovation of the unit, but the door was left open to build a new research building rather than renovating the existing building.
D. Kay Clawson, executive vice chancellor at the Med Center, said a renovation plan or building plan needed to be presented soon, and is now down by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Med Center faces losing more than $4 million in research grants from the National
"ONLY TIME WILL tell whether we lose our research grants." Clawson said.
Wendell Lady, a member of the Regents,
said. "We want to be sure and investigate all pat-
tions."
In February, Med Center officials were directed by Chancellor Gene A. Budig to evaluate the unit, after the Department of Agriculture report cited deficiencies, such as rusty cages and poor food storage, in the care unit.
The money, if appropriated by the Legislature, would cover architectural fees for constructing a new research building or renovating the old animal unit, the Regents said. The figure approved by the Regents would pay for architectural fees for renovation, which are slightly higher than fees for new construction.
the meeting that they favored a new research building over renovation of the old unit, located on the fifth floor of Hixon and Wahli College, Kan., Campus. The unit was built in 1962.
Roger Lambson, vice chancellor of institutional research and planning at the Med Center, told the Regents that the cost of a new research building was estimated at $5.54 million, but that the cost of renovation of the unit was estimated at $5.55 million.
A new building would allow the Med Center to conform to future standards set by the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, he said.
Clawson said renovation of the unit would disrupt the biochemistry department, located on the floor beneath the animal care unit. The disruption might cause researchers with large grants to relocate to other universities.
