ing the processioniste as they wont.
The next morning I found the streets
of Belfast juat as lively as ever with
holiday makere. Being informed that
there would be excursions to Bangor
the.popular seaside resort, that day, I
decided to hie myself thither with the
crowds.
Bangor is at the mouth of the river
Largan, on the sea'coaet a few miles
from Belfast and is one of the famous
resorts of Ireland, It is an exceeding- J
ly piotureeque place and has splendid
boating facilities, There are some
ancient castles in the neighborhood
which I took great interest in visiting.
During my visittoBelfast I also
took an interesting trip to Glenori ely
along the Antrim Road, passing Bel-
fast Castle, and, skirting the base of
the famous Cave Hill, obtained a mag-
nificent view of Belfast Lough. I re-
turned via Carrickfergus and .saw the
famous castle there,
While Belfast is not as Large as Dub-
lin and cannot boast possibly of as
many fine public buildings, churches
and parks, yet I was highly impressed
with the city in Ite general appear-
ance.
Donegal! Place is the city's leading
boulevard .and is a great fashionable
centre which Royal Avenue and Castle
Street are close seconds. In its way,
the former may be regarded as an
avenue leading up to the city hall, and
undoubtedly there are few thorough-
fares in the British Isles possessing so
unique a crowning glory as the White
Municipal Palace, in other words, Bol -
fast's City Ball—a most magnificent
building both inside and out. For ex-
quisiteness of decorations and tannish.
logs and general appearance I was
greatly impressed with the great hall
staircase, Lord Mayor's chair, council
chamber, banquet hail, grand staircase
lobby, the port oochere and library.
Near the city hall is Robinson and
Cleaver's famous departmental store,
another snlenaid building of brown
granite.
There were many other fine buildings
in Belfae t to interest me, including the
Presbyterian General Assembly Build-
ings (the predominating religion in UI-
ster is Presbyterian, the percentage
being 33.5) the Belfast Cathedral or
Cathedral of St. Anne's (something
similar in style to Sb, Patrick's in Dub-
lin,) Queen's University, Custom's
House and Public Library and Museum
At the latter place I was specially inter-
ested in a large exhibition of old Irish
spinning wheels and loome. Those and
other places I only briefly visited as I
desired amore extensive visit to the
industrial part of the city, as Belfast
is famous for its numerous linen mills
and factories and has the 1 argeet ship.
building concerns in the world.
The York Street linen mil being, I
was informed, the largest of its kind
in the world, I decided to visit it and
was fortunate in procuring a ticket of
admission along"with a party of Aus-
tralian and Canadian soldiers. Our
guide, a genial, good natured chap
who knew the"ropes" pretty well, was
able to impart valuable knowledge and
statistics ne we proceeded on our
tounde through the wonderful place
and I will endeavour here to describe
all I saw.
It is a gigantic concern, this mill
with its 90,000 whirring spindle's and its
6,000 power looms leaked after by 6,000
operatives. We had explained to us
the different stages of making a table-
cloth for inetance. After the "rot-
ting" or "setting" and "soutching"
process the crude flax fibres reach the
mill where they are epun into yarn and
then the yarn is taken to the factory
where the thread or yarn is woveb in-
to cloth. Both !,ranches, tenoning and
weaving. are combined in this estab
1►ehment. In the spinning mill the
flex is first "heckled" or combed by a
multitude of barbers until not one
fibre is mete'', After the "silvers" are
drawn out and the fibres twisted to-
gether and Wdtiud upon wooden bob-
bins. another etage is reached when
the bobbins go to the spinning frames
and the fibres are dratvn out to become
longer and longer before tbey pass
through bolting water to be tightly
twisted into perfect yaeru or thread,
Next 'we saw the reeling proceso or
putting the yarn into banks err bundles
of 00,000 yards. The flex now leaves
the spinner.
Next vv+e visited the spinning roots

So much for my visit to Ireland's
famous linen factory. Now for my
visit to one of the famous shipbuilding
concerns of the city, where the Olym-
pio and other world-famous liners
have been built. As visitors are not
allowed during these war, times to visit
many parts of the huge concern I was
not able to see all I desired to see but
what I did see caused me to stare in
wonderment and surprise at the great
things there. Passing along the breast
work of the Abercorn, Basin I was able
to obtain a splendid view of the power-
ful cranes capable of lifting hundreds
of tons and the still more mighty fl sat-
ing electric crane that swinge with
ease, I was told. as much as 250 tons.

lin,
The manager brought her to Belfast
and introduced her to his patrons.
Before two nights paseed her fame as
a sweet singer bemenee so widespread
that thousands were turned away from
the Empire unable to gain admiesino.
An appeal has beeqmade for contri-
butions to a fund for the purpose of
paying the expenses of a musical edu-
cation for the singer in London, and
so generous and hearty was the re-
sponse throughout the week that on
the Saturday evening I attended the
performance the manager was able to
announce that several hundred pounds
had been collected and that his pro.
tege would immediately be given a
thorough musical education and that
in a year or so he felt that she would
be ranking among the world's fore-
most singers.
Although I have been fortunato In
hearing some of England's great sing-
ers at one time and another I can any
truthfully that I never heard as sweet
and wonderful singing as I h eard this
night as Mary Connolly rendered sel-
ection after selection in response to en-
core after encore. Particularly welt
rendered were "Killarney" "The Dear
Little Shamrock" and "Mother
Macree." Her expression was .abeo-
tutely wonderful, despite the fact that
she did not know a note of music. She
was attired as an Irish colleen and
although she bad only made few
appearances on the stage her deport-
ment and stage bearing were credit.
able. There is no doubt whatever but
what Mary Connolly will rank in a
very short time, after a good trainiog
as one of the world's greatest singers,
and I was indeed glad I heard her.
The next day, Sunday, practically
concluded my visit to Belfast as I had
made arrangements to take a trip
down through the centre cif Ireland to
Cora, Blarney Castle, and Killarney—
the Eden of the west. My next article
will deal with thie trip.
