The entrance to the courtyard Is

larity that he drank his morning cup
of coffee. It was not, however, until
the interim between his election and
Inauguration as President that Taft
acquired his penchant for what comes
nearest to being his favorite form OF
travel, II he can be said to have q
favorite. 1t will be remembered that
the President-elect rested during that
interlude at Augusta. Georgia, and In
order to enable him to sec something
of rural Dixie there was requisitioned
an up-to-date motor car big enough
to accommodate the entire Taft fam
lily. 1t may be said to have been Taft's
first experience with the automobile
in an intimate way as q household
adjunct ever ready at his beck and
call, and he succumbed forthwith.
Thereafter local committeeman who
wrote to the Presidents secretary with
Presidential visits received delicate
hints that an open motor car would
find greater favor as a vehicle OF state
than would the carriages that had
been called for in Roosevelt's day.

sets he frequently goes on motor tours
that carry him half across the State,
and when he 10 In Warrington the
President finds q most acceptable d.
version in motor outings to Baltimore
and other points In Maryland and
Virginia.
As an enthusiast on automobiles it
was but natural that the President
should become a ready convert to the
joys of motor boating. Several motor
boats have been constructed specially
for the use Of President Taft, but he
employs them principally to convey
him to and from his private yachts,
the Mayflower and Sylph, rather than
as craft for extended excursions. These
Presidential yachts, by the way, typify
in their latter-day use the latest broad
ening Of Taft's views Of modes Of
travel. When the President took Of
flee he gave the impression that he
would not use the Presidential yachts
to any great extent except for official
functions. He was fond of the sea but
he confessed that he liked to feel tho
staunch deck Of an ocean liner under
his feet when he trusted himself to
the deep. Gradually, however. the
President revised his opinion and now
he knows no happier hours than those

walls Of the State dining room are
hung with pictures Of the Viceroys
from 1900 to 1880, and might really
be termed a picture gallery.
In 1907 1t was decided that q
Chapel Royal should be added and tho
cornerstone Of this beautiful Gothic
structure was laid by the Duke Of
Bedford. who was the Viceroy at that
time. It Is built Of Irish limestone
and was completed in 1914. The in
terror contains a beautiful stained
glass window presented by the Earl
of Whitworth, who was Viceroy in
1918. The Seventh Earl Of Carlisle
was the donor Of tho Handsomely
carved pulpit. The Royal Arms of all
the Viceroys % Ireland from ITS to
1914 are carved into different parts
Of the walls These are done in oak
and are Of much finer workmanship
than the curiously carved heads Of
the Sovereigns Of Great Britain which
appear above the doors and windows.
Lord Aberdeen, tho present Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland, prefers to live
at the Viceregal Lodge in Phoenix
Park. and spends only a short time
at the Castle during what 10 known
az the season-the few weeks Irish
society spends at homo.
Old Bedford Tower, the part Of tho
Castle opposite the Royal Apartment,
Is used for State ofices. the most
important one being occupied by the
senior officer Of the Lord Lieutenant's
household. This gentleman is the So
cial arbiter Of the Irish Court. He
decides on all questions Of etiquette,
makes arrangements for the Viceregal
receptions and selects the guests.
The old Castle has been the tenn
porary residence Of many Of England's
kings and mobiles, and the records
show various opinions Of its quality
as a place Of abode. Away back in
1886 Lord Clarendon wrote to the
Lord Treasurer that Dublin Castle was
the worst lodgings a gentleman ever
lay in," adding further that there
never comes shower Of rain but it
breaks into the house and no GENTLE
man in the Pail Mall is so ill-lodged
in all respects" George w., however,
was so pleased with his welcome in
,, Ireland and with his home in Dublin
Castle that he declared it would please
him to remain King in Ireland and
send a Lord Lieutenant to England.

when the crowds tired them.
Probably President Taft comes
rightly enough by his present-day
adaptability to diverse modes Of
travel. His experience in the Phil
ippines and his travels to and from
the Far East long ago made him
cosmopolitan in such matters. When
his headquarters were at Manila. for
instance. President Taft rode horse
back frequently, and on long journeys,
AZ did every member Of the family
and he likewise when visiting remote
parts Of the islands made use Of va
rious more or less primitive forms
OF native conveyances. In Hong Kong
and elsewhere in the Orient he rode
in sedan chairs and "rickshaws." In
Russia he was number of times a
passenger in the picturesque Russian
sleighs and he may be said to have
capped the climax when, in inspecting
the new Manila waterworks system on
his last trip to the other side Of the
globe. he rode on q tiny hand-car that
seemed wholly dwarfed by his giant
stature the then Secretary Of War

the big, historic structure. From the
south side, which Overlooks q beau
tiful lawn, it resembles fortress, and
such ii was for some time after it's
erection. Its beginning dates back to
the thirteenth century when the King
declared that it was necessary to have

treasure. At the time of its erection
1t was outside the original walls of
Dublin, but by the growth Of the city
during several Centuries it is now
in the very heart OF the Irish capital
and stands half way up what is known
as Cork Hill" Tradition has it that
in $40 A. ID. the site was occupied by
a Norwegian fortress, but here the rec

the royal robes were kept. From time
to time buildings were added until to-
day it represents many styles of archi-
lecture as well us many periods Of
history. The old Birmingham Tower
received its NAME from the fact that
Sir William birmingham and his son
were confined there as prisoners in
1881. The tower prison has three
circular rooms, one above the other,
with walls at least fifteen feet thick.
1t also contains several narrow cells
scantily lighted. In one of these there
is secret door which cannot be dis
tinguished from the wall and which
is accessible only by revolving stone
The tower, however, has not been used
as a prison since 1903. The room in
which Lord Edward Fitzgerald and
the rebellious Emmett were imprisoned
IL still preserved as vel. as the docu-
ment relating to their conspiracy. The
tower is near the royal apartments,

Like so many men who have done

in the case Of the private citizen can
scarcely obtain in the case Of q Chief
Executive. All the same Taft sticks
to the principle Of the thing. We see
1t evidenced In the less pomp that
now attends Presidential travelling ar
rangements. Some years ago when the
President travelling went he invaria-
bly, had q train Of cars for himself
and his numerous retinue and this
was almost invariably run az
special. President Taft is content
with one private car for himself and
Mrs. Taft, II she accompanies him, and
for his secretary and military aide
and in most instances this special car
is simply attached to one Of the regu-
lar trains on the road over which 1t
Ia routed and runs on schedule time.
On the present trip Lucien Wheeler,
Of the Secret Service. will keep in
advance Of the presidential party,
making arrangements with the vari-
Gus local committees for the Presi-
dents reception. Mr.. Wheeler goes
over each program and IL satisfao-
tory o. KS it. He left Beverly early
in September, and, as he must cover
$4,000 miles, making such connections
as he can and covering every town
where the President Is to stop, he has
to keep continually on the go. With
only about fifteen days leeway he
will have to hurry to keep ahead
Of the presidential party, the latter
going over the same ground, but with
all the advantages Of pre-arranged
program.
The President does not travel by
special schedule. His car IL attached
to the regular trains, and these must
run on schedule. This accounts for the
fact that the President usually has
very little time for speechmaking at
the various stops.

dent Taft? Certainly there
~ has not been among the two
dozen men who at one time or an
other have served as Chief Magistrate
OF the United States. But even IN
this restricted sphere Taft's pre-eml-
hence as a wanderer Is no mean dis
tinction, for a majority Of the CHEZ
Executives Of the republic have been
victims of the wanderlust either be-
fore or after they assumed Office. With
President Taft, however, the cham
pionship rests no matter whether we
take his record before he entered the
White House or since. Before many
people had ever thought Of him as a
possible President he had girdled the
globe two or three times on Uncle
Sans errands, to say nothing OF MI
nor jaunts. and since taking up the
reins Of Office he has been ever on the
go. Only he travels SO easily, so to
speak, and sets off at such a short no
tice sometimes that unless his journey
be an extensive one 1t does not arouse
comment as would the lesser Journey

passed into history Taft will have

to Presidential travel with a single

is the projected trip to Alaska which
he has had his heart set on for sew
eral years and which he might have
undertaken this past summer had he
not had Congress on his hands.
This tour will not carry him, gen.
orally speaking, to sections of the
country which he has not visited be-

sible, but President Taft never minds
revisiting localities in which he is
interested, as witness his repeated
trips to Panama. Moreover anything
