SECOND DAY.

The weather continued most favourable, and the atten-
dance exceeded the immense number that thronged the

play of fashionable equipages occupied by the rank and
beauty of Clare and Limerick.

which place was alternately occupied by Colleen Rhue and

WHARFE, WENSLEY, AND EDEN VALLEYS RAlL-
wAY.—Great efforts are being made by the local land-
owners, and meetings have been held with a view of ob-
taining a railway through these districts, which aro the
only important mineral localities now devoid of such ac-
commodation. The proposed lino would form the quickest
and shortest route between Leeds and London on the south
and Carlisle and Scotland on the north. It would join the
Groat Northern, Midland,_ and North-Eastern systems,
centering upon Leeds, with the
.Newcastle and Carlisle,
•
North British, Glasgow and South-Wester; and Cale
donian systems, cantering upon Carlisle. The surveys and
sections have been completed under the direction of Mr.
Fulton, the engineer, and the cost is estimated by laira at
the moderate rate of X10)000 a wild,
