RANDALSTOWN
Is a brisk little market town in the County Antrim, 17
miles N.W. from Belfast (21 miles by road), and two miles north from the
nearest point of Lough Neagh. The River Maine is crossed at the
entrance of the town by a stone bridge of nine arches, whence it pursues
its course to Lough Neagh, through Shane's Castle park. This
magnificent park extends east and west for upwards of five miles through
a richly wooded demesne "on Lough Neagh's banks," and is kindly
thrown open to the public by its hospitable proprietor, Lord O'Neill,
every Tuesday and Friday. One of the finest inland golf links in
Ireland is situated in this park, quite close to the town. The
course is over three miles in length. On the banks of the Maine,
adjoining the town, is situated the linen factory and bleachworks of the
old Bleach Linen Company, of which Mr. C. J. Webb, J.P., was founder and
principal proprietor. The linen goods of this firm are widely known
for their high quality and sound blend, attributable to the excellent
bleaching quality of the water in the River Maine. Petty Sessions
are held on the first Monday in each month. There are three
Presbyterian Churches, a Wesleyan Methodist Church, a Roman Catholic
Chapel, a spacious Courthouse, three National Schools, and one which is
maintained at the expense of Lord O'Neill for the benefit of the children
of his tenantry in the locality. There is a Dispensary for the
district. The town is lighted by gas. The Northern Banking
Company have erected a spacious and handsome bank house for the transaction
of business. There is an extensive weekly market every Wednesday
for flax, grain, pork, butter, meat, poultry, and eggs. One of the best
grass seed markets in the North of Ireland is held here; and on the last
Wednesday in each month a fair is held for the sale of cattle, sheep,
pigs, and other farm produce; and, in addition to these, there are two
fairs in the year - on the 16th July and 1st November. Population
in 1891, 847

RAPHOE
Raphoe is a fair and market town, situated twelve miles
from Londonderry, six from Strabane, seven from Stranorlar, and ten from
Letterkenny. The weekly market, which is held on Saturday, is well
supplied with oats, pork, butter and eggs. The fairs are held on
the first Saturday after 11th January, February, March, April, July,
September, October, and December; also, on 1st May, 22nd June, 27th
August, and 4th November. These fairs are among the best in
Ulster. The population of the town is about 950. The town
has improved considerably within the last few years; many of the small
houses have been removed, and new and substantial structures have been
erected in the town, while some of the older buildings have been very
much improved in their general appearance. The First Presbyterian
Church in Meetinghouse Street, the Second in The Diamond, and the neat
Roman Catholic Chapel on the Convoy Road, are recent erections. The
Cathedral of St. Eunan, which is also the Parish Church, is supposed to
have been founded in 565. It is a plain building, of cruciform
shape, with a square tower about 100 feet high at the west end, built by
Bishop Foster in 1738. The church is one of the oldest in Ireland,
and contains interesting specimens of the most ancient ecclesiastical
architecture. The present energetic incumbent contemplates restoring
the original design. There is a prosperous Literary Society,
connected with the town, which was established in the year 1858.
The town owes its prosperity chiefly to the fact of its being places in
the centre of a rich and fertile district, where farming operations are
carried out on an extensive scale. Raphoe was distinguished in the
Irish Rebellion in 1641, when the town was burnt down by the rebels, and
the inhabitants obliged to seek shelter in the Castle (at that time the
residence of the Bishop), which was besieged for sixty-three days.
The rebels having raised the siege, the besieged, led by Bishop Leslie,
sallied forth and pursued them to Battleburn, near the boundary of the
parish, where they were defeated with great slaughter; and again, in the
troublous times of 1798, when the loyal inhabitants, under Bishop
Hawkins, signalised themselves in many instances in crushing the
rebellion in this part of the country. A neat obelisk, erected to
the memory of the Protestants of this period, stands in the Bishop's
demesne at Raphoe. The Raphoe Royal School was founded by grant of
Charles I. (1627) to the Archbishop of Armagh. The house is a very
fine building, in thorough repair, well fitted for the accommodation of
sixty boarders. It is situated near the demesne occupied by the
Bishop of Raphoe, before the See was united to Derry. The
endowment is £220 per annum. The traditions of the school are
highly respectable.

RATHFRILAND
Is a market town in County Down, thirty-four miles S.S.W.
from Belfast, situated between Newry and Downpatrick; it stands on the
acclivities of a hill, and consists of seven principal streets, which
radiate downward from a tolerably spacious square towards the eight roads
which surround its base. The summit of the hill, which commands an
extensive view of the surrounding country, is crowned by the ruins of an
old castle, anciently one of the fortified residences of the Magenises,
Lords of Iveagh, and it is from it that Lord Iveagh takes his
title. The Market-house is in the square, in the upper part of
which a Petty Sessions Court is held the first Friday in every
month. The Parish Church of Drumgath is a small neat edifice with a
tower. There are three Presbyterian Churches, to each of which a
Lecture Hall is attached, and also places of worship for the Covenanters
and Society of Friends, Methodists, and Roman Catholics. The
charitable establishments are public schools for children of both sexes,
and a dispensary. The general flax and other markets are held on
Wednesday, the pork market on Tuesday, and the grain markets are held on
Tuesday and Saturday, and the fairs are on the first Wednesday of every
month. Population in 1891, 1,461

ROSTREVOR
Is a beautiful watering place in the County Down, nearly
two miles distant east from Warrenpoint, and similarly situated as
Warrenpoint, for Rostrevor is completely sheltered from the east winds by
the mountains, and thus as advantageous place, in pony of climate, for
invalids, and particularly recommended for persons afflicted with
pulmonary disorders. The village is delightfully seated on a gentle
declivity, which rises from a little cove of Carlingford Lough, and
commands beautiful views of the woods, mountains, and waters of the
lough's basin. Mr. Inglis, in noticing Rostrevor, says it is
"one of the most beautiful spots in Ireland." The Mourne
Hotel is beautifully situated on the main road between Warrenpoint,
Rostrevor, and Newcastle, and commands unrivalled views of mountain
scenery, which are unsurpassed for grandeur by any in Ireland. The
hotel is surrounded by its own ornamental grounds, flower, gardens,
lawns, and commands views of Carlingford Lough and mountains on the one
side, with the charming Slieve Ban mountain and wood on the other.
There is also the Woodside Hotel. In addition to the above hotels
there is also the long established Rostrevor Hotel. South of the
town stands a handsome stone monument, erected to the memory of the late
General Ross, who fell while leading his troops to victory at
Bladensburg, in America. The trade in Rostrevor is trifling except
the extensive bleachgreens belonging to Messrs. Martin & Company, and
the Forrestbrook Spinning Company. The Church of Ireland forms a
conspicuous object to the quiet aspect of the place. There are also
a Presbyterian Church and a Roman Catholic chapel. Fairs - Third
Tuesday in each month. The village is connected with Warrenpoint by
an excellent tramway. It is well supplied with water from the Glen
stream, which comes direct from the mountains which overhang the
village. Population in 1891, 660

SAINTFIELD
Is a small market town in County Down, situated midway on
the leading road from Belfast to Downpatrick, four miles from
Ballynahinch, nine from Lisburn, and six from Comber. Tonoughnieve
was the Irish name of the town, which means the "Hill of the
Saints," or the "Saint Hill," translated into
Saintfield. On the 9th of June, 1798, a brisk skirmish occurred
here between the rebels and a company of the York Fencibles. The
rebels took advantage of the soldiers, and made great slaughter.
The soldiers were buried in a small island in the lake, north of the
town, which is called York Island. The seat of the lord of the
manor is situated in a beautiful demesne, about a mile north of the town;
as is also the seat of the late Rev. G. R. Moore, Rowallen, who expended
many thousands of pounds in planting trees and shrubs. Petty
Sessions are held first Tuesday in each month, The market is on
every Monday, and the fair is on last Wednesday of each month.
There is one Church of Ireland, two Presbyterian Churches, a Roman
Catholic Chapel and two National Schools. There is also a branch of
the Belfast Bank Ltd., and the Belfast and County Down Railway Company
have a station at Saintfield, which is a great advantage to the town and
district. Population in 1891, 657

SCARVA
Scarva, one of the most picturesque spots of Ireland, is
a village on the main line of the Great Northern Railway between
Portadown and Newry, having a branch line to Banbridge and
Ballyroney. The Newry Canal runs through the village, with a dock
and quayage, usually presenting a busy scene. The principal
buildings are the Episcopal Church - a fine edifice, built on the site of
an ancient castle, and occupying the highest elevation in the village;
the Presbyterian Church, built nearly two hundred years ago, and a
Methodist Mission Hall, erected by the late Mr. Robert Taylor, the aged
postmaster, on his private grounds. There is also a handsome
National Schoolhouse, and a most comfortable, homelike temperance hotel
and bath room, in conjunction with which is a post office, with money
order and telegraphic departments. At the rere of the hotel is
erected a tower, from which the tourist can have a most commanding view
of the surrounding country. From the top of a neighbouring hill can
be had the second finest view in all Ireland, extending from twenty to
thirty miles around, and comprising five counties. An egg market is
held every Thursday, when a thriving business is done. On the
borders of a village is the fine old demesne and country seat of Mr. John
Temple Reilly, D.L., which is open to visitors, and in which is annually
fought the historic battle, known as the "Scarva Sham
Fight," which is attended by thousands of people, making
verily a gala occasion. Scarva is also noted for the purity of its
water and its salubrious dry air, and is yearly resorted to by English
fishermen, who find excellent sport. At the hotel a special two-day
rate is made for Saturdays and Sundays for business men and others who
can run away from their affairs a day at a time.

Is a small post town, parish of Killane, in the County
Cavan, situated on the direct road from Dublin to Derry, and about
fifty-six miles distant from the latter city. Its position lies on
the eastern verge of the county, and in that part of Cavan known in
history as East Breffini. The scenery in the neighbourhood is very
picturesque. There are several beautiful lakes, the largest of
which - Lough Sillan - is two and a half miles long, and varies in width
from a quarter to three-quarters of a mile. Salmon ascent the river
from Ballyshannon to the river above this lake. Angling,
particularly for trout, has been very successful. In the close
vicinity of Shercock is Shinan House, the residence of Mr. B. Adams, the
building and grounds of which are justly admired. The nearest
railway stations are Kingscourt (Midland Railway) and Carrickmacross
(Great Northern). There is a fair held on the second Wednesday of
each month. There is also a market every Wednesday for the sale of
grain, potatoes, eggs, and fowl. Petty Sessions are held on the
second Thursday of every month. There is a Protestant
(Episcopalian) Parish Church and a Roman Catholic Chapel. Services
in connection with the latter are held every Sunday at 9.30 a.m. and 6
p.m., and in the former at 12 noon and 5 p.m. There are two
National Schools, a Courthouse, and a Dispensary. Population in

SIXMILECROSS
This town, having a station on the Great Northern Railway, is situate
a mile and a quarter from Beragh, seven from Omagh, and fourteen from
Dungannon. The population is 400, and the town contains an
unusually large number of business houses for its size. The
principal places in it are a Church of Ireland, a Presbyterian Church,
two School-houses, a Court-house, and a postal telegraph office/
The market for the sale of agricultural produce is held every Monday,
and a cattle and horse fair is held on 19th of each month. The
external portions of the houses have been considerably renovated within
recent years, and it has the appearance of increasing prosperity.
The town is well supplied with pure water brought from a neighbouring
hill by means of fountains. Bawntown Castle, Sixmilecross, was in
1604 the residence of Lord Audley, who was in 1601created Earl of
Castlehaven. The Manor of Ffiney or Sixmilecross, otherwise
Koragh, had been surveyed in 1596-9, and patented to Lord Audley and his
wife Elizabeth in 1601 under Queen Elizabeth. Ancestors of the
noble Earl of Belmore purchased the manor of Sixmilecross or Ffiney at
the end of seventeenth century, but the Castlegrounds passed into the
Beresford, afterwards the Garge, family, through marriage. The
Hill Tolyneal, on the property immediately north of the town, is the
centre of Ulster

STEWARTSTOWN
Is a small market town in County Tyrone, about thirty
five miles W. from Belfast, situated on the road from Dungannon to
Coleraine. This place derived its original name, Stewartstown, from
Sir Andrew Stewart, to whom James I. granted the surrounding
district. In the year 1608, or soon afterwards, he erected a
castle, or rather converted other buildings into one, and laid the
foundation of the present town, on which he planted eighty Scotch
families. About two miles from the town is Stuart Hall, the seat of
Earl Castle-Stuart, who derives his title of Earl from this place.
The town consists of a spacious square and three principal streets, well
arranged, and the houses are built with stone and roofed with
slate. The Hibernian Banking Company have a branch office open on
market days. The Ulster Banking Company Limited, have a branch
also. The Great Northern Railway Company have a station close to
the town. The market-house stands in the centre of the town. Petty
Sessions are held on the first Wednesday in every month. The Church
of Donaghenry is a commodious structures, erected by order of King
William III. in 1689, and one of the handsomest in the diocese, as also
the glebe house. The other places of worship are two Presbyterian,
and one Methodist Church, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. Each of the
Presbyterian and the Methodist congregations have very handsome and
commodious mansions. The market is held on Wednesday, and the fair on the
first Wednesday on and after the 12th of every month. Population in
1891, 780

STRABANE
AND LIFFORD
Strabane is a market town in County Tyrone, 102
miles W. by N. from Belfast, eighteen N.N.W. from Omagh, and twelve from
Derry, finely seated on the River Mourne, and on the line of the Great
Northern Railway from Londonderry to Dublin. There is also the
Narrow-guage (gauge) (Donegal) Railway from Strabane to Killybegs, which
has recently been extended from Strabane to Londonderry. Strabane
is one of the largest and most populous towns in the county; and its
environs are replete with interest and beauty. It was an
inconsiderable village until James I., in 1611, granted the surrounding
district to the Duke of Abercorn. The family of the Duke of Abercorn
enjoys the title of Viscount and Baron from it. The flax and tow
mills (Sion Mills) of the Messrs. Herdman, three miles distant, are very
extensive. The Belfast Banking Company Ltd., the Provincial Bank of
Ireland, the Ulster Bank Limited, and the Hibernian Bank have branches in
operation here, and there is a Savings Bank. The Northern Bank
branch opens on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. The Presbyterians
have two churches, the Wesleyan Methodists one, and the Roman Catholics
two spacious chapels. The new Roman Catholic Church is a magnificent and
costly building. A Protestant evangelist service is conducted every
Sunday evening at 7-30 in Barrack Street Hall. There are several
excellent public schools for education of both sexes; these. together
with a Fever Hospital, a Dispensary, and a Union Workhouse, comprise the
benevolent and remedial institutions. Two manses have been erected
on the Derry Road, one for First Presbyterian Church, and the other for
the Methodist Church, A new (parochial) school has been erected in
Bowling Green by the Duke of Abercorn, on a beautiful site (alongside the
Parish Church), purchased by him some time ago. The Steamboat
Companies do a very large and profitable business, under the able
management of Mr. Jas. McFarland, J.P. The Town Hall is too small
for the requirements of the people, and it is hoped that it will be
replaced by a better and much larger one. Fairs - 1st February,
12th May, 1st August, and 12th November; there are likewise monthly fairs
on the first Thursdays in other months, The flax markets are held
on Wednesdays. Being the centre of a rich agricultural country, the
grain market on Tuesday is very large and important. The shirt
trade is extensively carried on. Messrs. Stewart, McDonald, &
Co., of Glasgow, have a large factory on the Derry Road. Messrs.
Stapley and Smith have also erected a very large factory in Barrack
Street; and there are several other important factories. A steam
bakery has been erected in Abercorn Square and an extensive trade is
being carried on there. Population in 1891, 5,103
Lifford the County and Assize town of Donegal, is situated on the
western bank of the Foyle, opposite to Strabane, and contains a
Courthouse, the latter being for Assize and Quarter Sessions. The
Church of Ireland is a neat edifice. The County Infirmary, and a
bequest by Sir Richard Hansard, Bart., for educating children of the
parish, are the charities. The Earl of Erne, the excellent
landlord, is exceedingly liberal to his tenantry. The fairs and
markets have been transferred to Strabane. Population in 1895, 945

SWANLINBAR
Is a small post town in the County of Cavan, situated in
a very healthy locality, on the road leading from Enniskillen to
Belturbet. It is well known for its pure mountain air and mineral
waters, and is annually visited by invalids on account of the curative
properties of the waters obtained from sulphur spas, three of which are
to be found in the immediate neighbourhood. It is at present
regaining the considerable reputation as a spa which it formerly enjoyed,
and which it well deserves. Dr. Edgar Flinn, in his "Irish
Health Resorts and Watering Places." says:- "According to the
analyses of Dr. Kane, the Swanlinbar water contains carbolic and
sulphuric acids, with soda and lime in small quantities; it is also
imbued with sulphuretted hydrogen gas. Rheumatic and gouty patients
are much improved by a course of the waters." It is located in
the midst of picturesque scenery on the Cladagh River, where there is a
splendid trout fishing, and it is visited regularly by pleasure seekers
for the grouse shooting on the neighbouring mountains, which cover a
considerable extent, capped by Cuileagh, the source of the Shannon, some
few miles distant. The famous Marble Arches are distant about five
miles, and can be reached by post cars, of which there are an ample
supply in the village. The drive leads through a most picturesque
part of the country. It contains three places of worship -
Episcopalian, Methodist, and Roman Catholic; three National Schools,
Courthouse, Dispensary, Corn Mill, a branch of the Ulster Bank; and three
hotels - Temperance, Spa, and Hanley's Hotel. It is also
headquarters of the constabulary district. It can be reached on the
one side by the Cavan, Leitrim, and Roscommon Light Railway to Bawnboy
Station, and thence by van, which runs for the convenience of tourists on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during the summer months, connecting
that railway with the Great Northern at Enniskillen, nine miles distant
on the other side. It can also be reached from Florence Court
Station on the Sligo and Northern Counties Railway, six miles
distant. The fairs are held on 14th January, 2nd February, 30th
March, 14th April, 18th May, 29th June, 27th July, 18th August, 14th
September, 13th October, 27th November, and 21st December; and there is a
weekly market on Saturday for the sale of oats, potatoes, butter, eggs,
fowl, etc. Population in 1891, 402

WARINGSTOWN
AND DONAGHCLONEY
Waringstown is a clean and picturesque little village in
the parish of Donaghcloney and County of Down, two miles from Lurgan; it
contains about 700 inhabitants, and takes its name from the family of
Waring which settled here more than two hundred years ago, when
driven from England by the religious persecutions during Queen Mary's
reign. The village consists of two principal streets, which are
broad and commodious, and planted with beautiful plane trees, adding
greatly to the appearance of the place. Damask weaving is briskly
carried on in the village and neighbourhood. The chief buildings
are the Parish Church, a venerable edifice more than 200 yards standing,
the massive tower being roofed, as few places are, with oak shingle; the
Presbyterian Church is a modern building in the Italian style of
architecture; the Courthouse is in the middle of the village, and three
National Schools - one each for boys, girls, and infants. About two
miles away, in the direction of Banbridge, lies the village of
Donaghcloney, which possesses few features of interest beyond the natural
beauties of the district. There are several artistic residences in
the neighbourhood, and the weaving factory and bleachgreen (on the river
Lagan), belonging to Messrs. W. Liddell & Co., give employment to a
large number of people. The only public buildings are - the
Presbyterian Church at Old Donaghcloney, and the Banoge, Donaghcloney,
and Fortescue National Schools.

WARRENPOINT
One of the most favourite watering places in Ulster, is
situated at the head of the beautiful bay of Carlingford, and is distant
about five miles from Newry. A century ago Warrenpoint (so called from
the circumstances of a rabbit warren having formerly existed at the
place) could only boast of a few houses; now its population exceeds
2,000, and in summer reaches 5,000. The town boasts a spacious
square, in which many of the principal places of business are situated,
and in the shops every article, useful or ornamental, required in the
family can be purchased on as reasonable terms as any town in
Ireland. Several good streets run from the square, and along the
shore are terraces containing substantially built and commodious houses.
Many of these are eagerly secured for the summer months by strangers and
the business men of the province. The entire place has an air of
comfort and prosperity that at once favourably impresses health
seekers. The situation of Warrenpoint, built as it is on the verge
of the mountain girth bay, is excellent; and the view from the pleasant
promenade is grand in the extreme. before us sparkles the lovely
lough, scenes of many an aquatic contest, and the resort of all who love
to breathe the sea breeze while dipping their oars in its generally
placid waters. To the right the grand old hills of Louth lift their
heads into the sky, with Omeath and Carlingford nestling at the
base. In the distance Greenore, with its hotel, and railway
station, is visible. On the left we see the picturesque villas which
skirt the bay, the Ross monument, Rostrevor, and Rostrevor Quay, with its
magnificent hotel, "The Mourne," having a grand mountain
background. Away in the distance Greencastle, the Blockhouse, and
the Lighthouse are described, the whole constitution a picture of almost incomparable
beauty and grandeur, No wonder that Dr. Knox, in his "Irish
Watering Places," says - "It is scarcely possible anywhere to
point out a more beautiful district than that lying between Rostrevor and
the large seaport of Newry." The roads in the neighbourhood of
Warrenpoint are particularly inviting, and in about twenty minutes an
ordinary pedestrian can reach Narrow-water Castle, the residence of
Captain Roger Hall, J.P., one of the most beautiful seats in the
country. The house is an imposing structure, the gardens are
models, and the drive through the thickly wooded demesne is a thing to be
remembered.

WHITEHEAD
This well known watering place is picturesquely situated
on the County Antrim coast, 15 miles from Belfast, 9 from Larne, and 4¾
from Carrickfergus. Its popularity is due in a great measure to the
Belfast and Northern Counties Railway Company, who have made the natural
beauties of the neighbourhood accessible to tourists. There are
upwards of 200 villas in Whitehead. They are for the most part
semi-detached, and are all fitted up with the latest sanitary
improvements. During the past summer the promenade, which is one of the
finest in the North of Ireland, has been considerably extended, while a
handsome new Bandstand has been erected on the adjoining Recreation
Grounds. About a mile distant from Whitehead are the famous caves
of Blackhead, which are visited annually by thousands of tourists.
On the summit of Blackhead a splendid Lighthouse is at present in course
of erection. There are many places of historical and antiquarian
interest in the vicinity of Whitehead - e.g., Castle Chichester, built by
Sir Moses Hill; Kilroot, the seat of an ancient church erected in the
fifth century by St. Colman; the remains of raths at Castle Dobbs; the
Burying Ground or "tumulus" at Ballyhill; the "Salt
Hole," near Ballycarry; the Old Mill Glen and Pinwell at Redhall;
Slaugtersford, and Muldersleigh. The adjoining peninsula of
Islandmagee literally teems with places of historic interest; notably the
ruined keep of an old castle at Port-Muck, the Druid's Altar at
Ballylumford, and the Logan or Rocking Stone at Skernaghan Point
