ANTRIM
Antrim, a market town (formerly a Parliamentary borough), in
the County of Antrim - 17 miles from Belfast, 93 from Dublin, 10¾
from Ballymena, and 5 from Randalstown - situated on the banks of the
Sixmilewater River, on the great road from Belfast to Londonderry. General
Sessions of the Peace are held four times a year, and Petty Sessions on the
second Wednesday of every month. The Court House, situated at the lower end of
the town, is a commodious building. The Belfast and Northern Counties Railway passes
at an inconsiderable distance North of the town. Antrim is the terminus of
the Great Northern Railway. The large bleaching and finishing works of the
York Street Flax Spinning Company, Limited (Belfast) are situated about 1¼
miles from the town, and employ a large number of hands. A Linen factory has
recently been erected on the site of the old Paper Mill, and it is proposed
to erect the contemplated new county asylum at Holywell, about one mile and
a half from the town. Lough Neagh approaches
within half a mile of the town, and communicates with the latter by the Sixmile River. The
Church of Ireland is a neat edifice, with a square embattled tower,
surmounted by a finely proportioned spire; there are two
Presbyterian Churches, one Unitarian, one Methodist, and
one Roman Catholic Chapel. The Union Workhouse and a public Dispensary comprise the principal charities. The markets are held on

ARDGLASS
A Parish and
seaport in the Barony of Lecale and
County of Down, 103 miles from Dublin, 24 from
Belfast, and 6 miles S.E. of Downpatrick. It is pleasantly situated on a
high promontory on the
coast. It was at one time a place of considerable importance, and retains,
as monuments of its ancient grandeur, five old castles. The Lord of the soil
is Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk. Ardglass is the most
important fishing station in Ireland. There has of late been a great decline
in the herring fishing here as at other places. Formerly four hundred
fishing boats
were regularly employed here from May till October; now the number scarcely
exceeds sixty. The value of fish caught formerly amounted to £40,000 or
£50,000, now it scarcely reaches £5,000. The population in 1891 was 800, but
during the summer months it is much higher. The places of worship are the Church
of Ireland, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Roman Catholic.
There are two National Schools. A railway from Downpatrick to Ardglass,
opened in July, 1892, has already done much to improve the town. As a
suitable resort its beauty and suitability are becoming known, and the rush
of visitors and excursionists is very great. This town is likely to improve
in the future.
