SCENE THE THIRD,

THE CORAL STABLE OF THE THOUSAND STEEDS.
Here O'Donoghue's White Horse is seen quite at home enjoying
his banquet, waited upon by Ponies and Water Fairies. He is in the
prime of life. " None of your has-beens," for he " never has beans,"
but dines off his three courses like a gent, consisting of a TUREEN
of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED HORSE LEECHES, and a
plateau of CORNED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of
CLOVER WINE. Having a turn for taciturnity, he stands no
" chaff," and having cut his corns, has no objections to a little dance.
Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, proves " one
in a thousand." Re feels "quite op in the stirrups," and as 11:: is
changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to

SCENE THE FOURTH, - -
THE LAUGHING FOLEST,

Whiskey and Mischief meet again. The Evil Spirit tells the Hag
that he has obtained Dermot's fay. write Horse, and on it he hopes to
win the race, and thus bring Kathleen within their power. The
trees enjoy the fun, and though precious old ones, " laugh like
new 'uns."

SCENE THE FIFTH.
MAY-DAY IN THE HILLS OF KILLARNEY.
Here we find Morris Danc:ng, Running in a Sack, Grinning through
I Collar, and ether delicate amusements previous to the GREAT
TRIAL ! All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them
"put their foot in it." But where is Dermot? If they start without
him, there will be a start will a vengeance. But no !he is coming,
and very becoming he comes. All is prepared; off they go. This
proves true enough, for many go off over their horses' necks. Der-
mot leaps his Lordship's " gate" after a " style" of his own Whiskey
being a lad of " spirit," is not at all behind. Now for the ltace,
which is t., decide all ! Kathleen trembl s. Whiskey most put his
strength to the proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her D,rmot is
far too winning to lose—nor does he ; hut Whiskey getting possession
of Kathleen and the Fairy Steed, flies off with her. All materna-
tion—" Pursue, pursue."

SCENE THE SIXTH.
THE PURSUIT THROUGH THE LAUGHING FOREST.
O'Donoghue again befriends Dermot, by lending kim his own White
Horse—Cooky has mounted her Arabian steed, which, clever as
she thought him, proves a perfect ass.

SCENE THE SEVENTH.
THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY (as before).
The Evil Spirit and Kathleen fly across. 'I he horse knows his
own stable, so vanishes beneath the Lake, and thus water overcomes
the power of Whiskey. Dermot, on O'Donoghue's White Horse,
Hies to the rescue of his love, and brings her safely to land again—
'when, as might be expected, Dermot is et.anged to Harlequin, Kath-
leen to Columbine, Lord Bullfrog to Pantaloon, and Bloatabella
Brisket, the Fat C ok, to Clown. What follows comes after, and
the liarlequinad eI egins.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR. DANIEL O'CONNELL,
JUN.—KILLARNEY, DEC. 18. —An accident of a serious nature
occurred to Mr. Daniel O'Connell,youngest son of the " Libe-
rator," while out shooting at Rockfield. After discharging
one of the barrels of his double fowling-piece, he was about
reloading it, when the other undischarged barrel exploded,
shattering the left hand frightfully Medical aid was in-
stantly procured, and after the hand was dressed and ban-
daged Mr. O'Connell proceeded on foot, though suffering in-
tensely, to the house of his uncle, Mr. James O'Connell,
Lakeview. At a later date our correspondent writes :
"Serious apprehension is entertained that lock-jaw will be
the result of the injury which Mr. D. O'Connell sustained.
The part injured was the right hand ; the palm, and the two forefingers, and the thumb were torn to atoms."-Cork i
Examiner.
