THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

VISIT TO THE LAILIS

LLLLMINEY, Tossoar.

The Queen's day upon the Lakes of killarney is
now a matter of history, and it was one of the most
successful and brilliant days emir remembered. At
12 o'clock the royal party embarked at Roes Castle,
amidst the cheers of thousands, and in the pre-
sence of an immense flotilla of boats, that formed
the train of the Queen's barge during the day. The
mists were on the mountain tops, but in about two
hours cleared gradually off, and the remainder of
the day was as fans as has been known for years.
In the state barge were the Queen, the Prince
Comort, Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Princess
Alice, Princem Balsam, Lady Churchill, Earl
°marine, and Lord and Lady Caetleroese. Palmas,
the celebrated guide, steered. After rowing round
Innestallen, and coasting under the toomies and
Glans mountains, the royal party landed at 1
o'clock at Glans.

After a short excursion through the demesne,
they sat down to a magnificent clejetther at Glance
Cottage. The stay at Glans was an hour and a
half. The bay was crowded with boats, and the
cheers again rang forth and awoke the echoes.
After re-embarking, the procession of boats, the
royal boat leading, went through the middle of the
Tore Lake, threaded the well-known long range,
peened the Eagle's Nest into the Upper Lake, en
roods to Derry Cunnihy. This point was reached
at 4 o'clock. The Queen and party landed, and
partook of tea. On the return the boats passed
through the Muckross Lake, and ander the Old
Weir Bridge, through the Lower Lake, to Ross
Inland, where they landed amid renewed acclama-
tions. The royal party returned to Killarney
Roam, entered the carriages in waiting, and,
escorted by the lit Royal*, started at 6.30 to
Muckross Abbey, Use seat of Mr. Herbert. Here
there was an assembled multitude, and the Queen
was loudly cheered.
Her Majesty spent • most agreeable day, and
she appeared all through to be greatly delighted.
The Queen and Prince Cowart repeatedly expressed
their unqualified admiration of the scenery. His
Royal Highness said many portions were sublime.
So charmed was the Queen, that she staid on the
Lakes nearly two hours beyond the time fixed.

Mim keeping with remarkable 'punctuality the time meo•
timed by the company for aocomplishieg the journey. The
eu( Jamey may be described as a continneos and maim-

train dished past or stopped, crowds, immense in number
and most respectable in character, were assembled, and
greeted her Majesty and the royal party with hearty and
oft-repeated cheering, which " made the welkin ring."

evergreens, and flowers, and surmounted by flags. In addi-

upon the authority of these tickets they had
taken possession from an early period of the day.
To the right of this triumphal arch, and looking up the
main road, along which her Majesty passed, is • row of
beadaome houses, which have attracted the observation of
every visitor to Killarney. These houses, which are ordi.
airily occupied by highly respectable persons, had their
windows and even the roofs crowded, and the occupants,
chiefly ladies, were amongst the moat prominent in their
demonstrations of hearty welcome. Passing the principal
entrance to Killarney-house the rortage proceeded on
to the Kong Island road, along which it travelled
until the entrance known as the keeper's gate was
reached, and here the noble demesne wag entered. The
arches and decorations put up here by Lord Osatlerosse
ware exceedingly handsome in design and effective in
appearance. There was a triple triumphal arch of ever.

arches. Over the centre arch were the royal arms on a
shield in the garter, wreathed round with white roma,
and having on either side emblematic figures in grain
and white, and bearing for device the English rose in
wreath of shamrocks. The words " Welcome hare"
were formed in huge letters of white roses under the
centre arch. Displayed on a rose ground was Mho toss

the words. "Long live the Queen," formed of Bowers,

The dinner was mewed at • quarter before 8 o'clock in the
dininglall, which is as large, as well-arranged, and as
handsome an apartment as there im to be found in any
private mansion in the three kingdoms. It is an addition
to the original building, having been erected not

ias and estate pnerally. Amongst other things the
public are indebted to her for the beautiful Glans
Cottage on Glens Island, where the Queen will stay awhile
on her excursion to-morrow (Tuesday). The ceiling of the
dining-hall is raised in the centre, having sloping 'idea, and
all these are divided into compartments, which are orna.

executed by perfect artists. Around the ceiling are dig_

from an anteroom by the amendents. On the table were
some 30 dishes of silver and Dresden or &mug chias, filled
with the rarest flowers, whose contrasting hose—red, blue,
and white—were softened by the light from the superb

jewellery. Alternately with those dishes were placed gold
