PORTADOWN
Is a
prosperous market town in the County Armagh, twenty five
miles from Belfast, situated on the banks of the Bann. It is an
important railway junction. The lines of the Great Northern Railway branch
off from it to Dublin, Derry and Armagh, and it is in direct railway
communication with Belfast. The Newry Canal, which joins the Bann about a
mile from the town, opens a water communication from Carlingford Lough, and
the river itself, being navigable all the way to Lough Neagh, affords a
ready means for lighters and barges from Belfast and the towns adjoining the
Lough. The ancient name of the town was Port-ne-doon, or the Port of the
fortified eminence. It has increased rapidly within the last half century,
the population in 1816 being only 600, while in the census of 1881 it was
upwards of 8,000. The town stands on a hill, and is well cleansed and lighter, the
footpaths are flagged, the houses are of modern construction, and the chief
streets are of imposing appearance. Two markets are held in the week, one on
Wednesday for the sale of hay, straw, and other farm produce. In the season
a very large quantity of grass seed is brought to this market, and the
buyers are numerous, and the highest market price is realized. The market on
Saturday is for the sale of all kinds of farm produce; the trade in pork is
very large, and a fair is held on the third Saturday in every month. The
manufacture of linen and cambric is extensively carried on. There are four
large weaving factories and a spinning mill, which give employment to many
people, and two large flour mills. The chief public buildings are the
Bank of Ireland, a large and handsome structure built of Newry granite,
three storeys high; the Belfast Bank, and the Ulster Bank; Carleton Street
School, erected in 1870, where Sabbath Schools in connection with St. Mark's
Church are held; the Orange Hall opened in 1875, the Young Men's Institute, and
the Victoria Hall. The old Town Hall having become totally inadequate for
the requirements of a rapidly increasing population, was recently sold for
£1,540. The Town Commissioners have selected ground in Edward Street for the
erection of a new hall, the cost of which is not to exceed £2,500. The Local
Government Board have sanctioned a loan of £1,900 from the Board of Public
Works towards the erection of the new buildings, and the work will shortly
be proceeded with. The Parish
Church of Drumcree is situated about one mile from the town. In the town is
St. Mark's Church, and about half a mile distant is Seagoe Church. The
Wesleyan Methodist premises in Thomas Street are handsome buildings,
containing a chapel, several school rooms and class rooms. The Presbyterian
Churches, three in number, are commodious and well appointed. The
Roman Catholic Chapel in William Street is a spacious edifice, and there is
a second chapel in the Edenderry end of the town. A lease of land to the extent of twenty three acres has been obtained from
his Grace the Duke of Manchester for a public park. It has been tastefully
laid out in walks and planted with evergreens and trees of various kinds,
while a river flowing through the centre and a handsome pond contribute much
to its appearance. In 1872 a public library and a reading room were
established, which are open daily. There are over 2,000 volumes in the
library, and the news room is well supplied with papers. Petty Sessions are
held on the second and fourth Mondays in each month, John Walker, Clerk of
Petty Sessions.

PORTAFERRY
Is a thriving
little seaport and market town in
County Down, twenty three miles S.E. by S. from Belfast, situated on the
Eastern shore of the strait to the sea that forms the entrance to Strangford
Lough. From the strength of the current the name "Strong-ford," and hence, by
corruption, Strangford is derived. At Portaferry there is a good quay, where
vessels of light burden can discharge their cargoes. A considerable
trade is done in coal, timber, corn and agricultural produce. The herring fishery is
carried on from the month of June to September inclusive. The Market House
is a commodious building, in which the magistrates hold Petty Sessions on the
last Tuesday in each month. The places of worship are - the Parish Church of Ballyphillip, a neat structure; a Presbyterian church;
one Methodist
church; and a Roman Catholic chapel. The charitable institutions consist of

National School has also been built in connection with the
Presbyterian congregations, at a cost of about £500. The Third Presbyterian
Church has been repaired and added to, and a handsome round tower
built by Rev. A. H. Beattie. Markets every Tuesday; fairs third Tuesday of

PORTRUSH
Is a seaport and
favourite watering place in the North of
Antrim, about six miles N.E. from Coleraine and seven from the world famed
coast scenery, the Giants' Causeway. It has more than trebled its population
during the last few years, owing to the opening up of the railway
communication; and is now one of the most fashionable watering places in
the North of Ireland, and is much resorted to during the bathing season.
There are many superior lodging houses and bathing lodges for the
accommodation of visitors; and, owing to its temperate and tonic atmosphere,
many respectable families have located themselves as permanent residents.
There is steam communication with Glasgow twice a week, and fortnightly
to Islay, during the summer months, giving the tourists ample
opportunity of visiting Highland scenery. There is also steam communication
with Morecambe once a week, and with Liverpool. The first electric tramway
in the United Kingdom, which owes its origin to the indefatigable exertions
of Dr. Traill, F.T.C.D., and his brother, Mr. Wm. Traill, C.E., is now
running daily. Car leaves at ten o'clock a.m. for the Causeway Hotel. Portrush possesses eight
hotels. The permanent population is about 1,300, but during the bathing
season it amounts to about 4,000. Recently a natural gold ground has been
opened near the railway terminus, and now there is a flourishing golf club
with almost 100 members.

of the great basaltic range of mountains, and commands an extensive view of
the estuary of the Bann, the entrance into Lough Foyle, and the promontory
of Downhill, with the peninsula of Innishowen in the distance. The air here
is pure, the scenery grand and picturesque, and the facilities for bathing
very great. There are public baths, lodging houses and a first rate hotel,
the latter fitted up with every accommodation for families and visitors. In
appearance the town resembles an English watering place, and is a favourite
place of resort during the Summer, and even in the Winter months, having a
dry, sandy soil, and being sheltered from easterly winds. The place is
plentifully supplied with fish. The population in 1881 was 556.

RANDALSTOWN
Is a
brisk little market town in the County Antrim, 17
miles N.W. from Belfast (21 mile by road), and two miles north from the nearest part 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. On the banks of the Maine, adjoining
the town, is situated the linen factory and bleach works of the old Bleach
Linen Company, of which Mr. C. J. Webb is the 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 first Tuesday in each month. There are
three Presbyterian Churches, a Wesleyan Methodist Church, a Roman Catholic
Chapel, a spacious Court House, three National Schools, and one which is maintained
at the expense of the Right Hon. Lord O'Neill, for the benefit of
the children of his tenantry in the locality, and an infant school, capable
of accommodating 150 children, erected by Miss Alexander, daughter of the late
Bishop of Meath. There is a Dispensary for the district. A company has been
formed for lighting the town with 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, eggs, etc.; 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 1881, 868.

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 an advantageous place, in point 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, etc., and
commands views of Carlingford Lough and mountains on the one side, with the
charming Slieve Ban mountain and wood on the other side. There is
also the Woodside Hotel, which is beautifully situated, and in which the
visitor or the tourist will find every comfort. Connected with this hotel is
a Skating Rink, which is said to be one of the finest in the kingdom. In
addition to the above hotels there is also the long established Sangster's Hotel, which is
most comfortably fitted up for the reception of visitors. About a quarter of
a mile South West of the town stands a handsome monument erected to the memory of
the late General Ross, who fell while leading his troops to victory at
Bladensburg, in America. The trade done here is very trifling, except the extensive
bleach greens belonging to the Messrs. Martin and the Forrestbrook Spinning
Company. The Parish Church forms a conspicuous object to the quiet aspect of
the place. There are also a Presbyterian Church and a Roman Catholic Chapel.
Fairs - Monday before Shrove Tuesday, Easter Monday, Whit Tuesday, 1st
August, 19th September, 1st November and 11th December. Matier's Highland
coaches run in connection with the morning trains from Warrenpoint to
Kilkeel, through Rostrevor. 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 1881, 706.
Post Office - Mr. William Shaw,
postmaster. Letters arrive every morning at 5-25 a.m., and at 12-25 p.m.; and are
despatched at 2 p.m., and at 7-35 p.m.
