visitor sees in Midway. The village
was designed and erected by Mrs.
Ernest Hart, president of the Don

dustries in Ireland. In this place are
many things to interest Irishmen. 1t

colossal statue of Gladstone, the
walls are hung with the portraits of

hand made embroideries; here and
there are pretty Irish maids making
lace, Within the village also rises
the white round tower, near it is the
famous wishing chair and many 9TH

may, while listening to the music of
the Irish pipers sit in the shade of
the restaurant and sip his tea or par
take of the refreshments served at
