On Thursday night the first Of a series
Of lectures ON Irish history was delivered
at the Temperance Hall, K:lkee, by the.
Rev. D. O'Dea. The chair was taken by
Rev. P: Donnelly. The reverend lecturer
touched on the cfivalric deeds Of the wars
dealt with the actions Of Clare men in the
great struggles. The first battle de-
scribed was the glorious conflict of Dy-
ssart O'Dea, near Ennis, where a ch:eftain
of the name of the learned lecturer slew
with his own hand the English command
er De Clair and totally routed his forces.
Then the wars wherein the famous Red
Hugh O'Donnell and the glorious Owen
Roe O'Neil contested so nobly the land
that they loved were described. The bat
tie Of the Yellow Ford was pictured $50
wildly that the audience were carried
away by their enthusiasm. With great
oratOrical power many other events Of our
national history we're described in proof
of the statement that the deep-rooted ha-
tired of Ireland for England was sown in
wrong and strife. After nearly two hours
the lecture closed amid the enthusiastic
demonstrations of the crowded audience.
