or tour years, partly owing to the excited
condition of the country on the land ques-
tion--a matter on which friend and foe ind
common interest, and partly due to the
growth OF n more tolerant spirit in both
factions, the disturbances have been less fre-
quent and the celebration OF the respective
fets days, namely the 18th Of July and the
18th OF March, given less prominence than
formerly.

the famous siege OF Derry. and was the
watchword Of the Apprentice Boys, who

attempts Of the Jacobites with james In

defenders TO yield. They sent up the CRY. OF

subsequently became O political body. As
a result of Parliamentary inquiry Grange
clubs were broken up about 1880, but were
renewed in 1845.
The Battle OF the Boyne was fought on
the LIST of July, 1890. Tn the previous month
William of Orange landed in Ireland with
35, 900 well trained soldiers. James troops
were raw levies, insuficiently armed, and
as a result they could not stand against the
seasoned soldiers whom they met at Donore,
on the Boyne, and were soon put to hight.

the gallant Sarsfeld, who afterward made
as stout resistance at Limerick as his oppo-
