overlook the private gardens are filled
with blooming flowers. Big mirrors are
set in the wall and between them are
the banners and swords of the living

At the far end OF the hall the Kings

PRtrick's Day OF each year the Vice
roy Of Ireland gives a ball and this
room Is used for dancing. 1t is also
used once a year for the banquet
OF the Knights OF ST. Patrick.
The State dining room runs parallel
with st. Patrick's Hall and overlooks
the Upper Quadrangle. 1t is rather
a narrow room and suffers by COM
parison with the others Of the Castle
both in size and beauty OF decoration.
II Is not large enough for a banquet,
consequently during the say Of the
Viceroy at the Castle the State dinners
are held in St PaErick's Hall The

the present Viceroy. who Is unusually
popular IN Ireland.
The Throne Room, although much
smaller than several OF the other
halls of the Castle. Is by far the rich
est both in coloring and decoration.
It is Of great historic Interest, too, for
here one hnds the crimson and gold
throne which dates from the reign OF
William Ill. 1t has been used by ev-
cry British monarch since that time.
Irish poplin OF the richest shade of
crimson Is used to drape the throne,
while the Royal arms are embroider-
ed in the centre. Heavy silk fringe
and tassels finish the canopy with
beautiful effect The dome shaped
ceiling is supported by Corinthian pill
lars, the tops being deliberately carved.
The walls are hung with mirrors with
frames made into the shape of crowns.
Six superb medallions by Angelica
Kaufman adorn the walls as well.

walls OF the state dining room are
hung with pictures Of the vfceroys
from 1900 to 1880. and might really
be termed q picture gallery.
In 1907 It was decided that q
Chapel Royal should be added and the
CORNERSTONE of this beautiful Gothic
structure was laid by the Duke OF
Bedford. who was the Viceroy at that
time. II il built Of Irish limestone
and was completed In ls14- The In
terror contains a beautiful stained
giass window presented by the Earl
Of whitworth. who was Viceroy in
1919. The Seventh Earl of Carlisle
was the donor of the handsomely
carved pulpit. The Royal Arms Of all
the VIceroys OF Ireland from 117s to
1914 are carved into different parts
Of the walls. These are done in oak
and are Of much finer workmanship
than the curtously carved heads Of
the sovsrsigns Of Great Britain which
appear above the doors and windows.
Lord Aberdeen, the present Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, prefers to live
at the Viceregal Lodge in Phoenix
Park. and spends only a short time
at tn Castle during what Is known
as the season-the few weeks Irish
society spends at home.
Old Bedford Tower. the part of the
Castle opposite the Royal Apartments,
is used for State offices, the most
important one being occupied by the
senior officer OF the Lord Lieutenants
household This gentleman is the So
cIaI 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
1885 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 a shower Of rain but II
breaks into the house and no gentle
man in the Pail Mall Is SO ill-lodged
in all respects" George ~. however,
was SO pleased with his welcome in
Ireland and with his home in Dublin
Castle that he declared 1t would please
him to remain King in Ireland and
send a Lord Lieutenant to England.

hangs on the wall and just opposite
is one OF regal looking woman who
Is said to be q sister OF the Earl.
All around the hall and staircase there
is a dado formed Of bayonets and
rifles. Palms and flowers are all
about and this mixture OF armour
and plants is both unique and at
tractive.
To the right OF this apartment is
the picture gallery, or, rather. a State
corridor. 1t has graceful arches elab-
orately decorated with stucco work.
Two large portraits-one OF King
George II. and the other OF Queen
Mary. wife OF William the Third, are
the most noticeable OF the portraits
here.
The length of the green drawing
room Is broken IN several places by
Corinthian columns OF pure white
marble with heavily gilded tops. The
walls are tinted in the ivory shade
and hung with several handsome
oblong mirrors. There are touches
of gold on the ceiling and here and
there frescoes of delicately colored
flowers. The hangings are OF Irish
poplin OF a delicate shade OF green.

ChIppendAle furniture and heavy red
poplin curtains complete the furnish

The largest room and the one most
used Is that known as 'St. Patrick's
Hail." The room, asICn from being
large. is most perfectly proportioned

Great Corinthian pillars support the
room at each end. White and gold
predominate in the decorations, with
red Irish poplin hanEings. On The
walls hang the three well-known
paintings by the italian artist de VAL
DIRE. They were painted by him in
1888 when the Order OF St Patrick
was instituted by George IL One Of
these paintings shows the submission
OF the Irish Chiefs TO the Earl of
Pembroke during the reign Of Henry

yet there - a certain dignity about

south side, which overIooks q beau
tful lawn, 1t resembles q fortress. and
such II was for some time after its
erection Its beginning dates back to
me thirteenth century when the King
declared that II was necessary to have
q .Ironghold to protect the royal
treasure. At the time Of its erection
II was outside the original walls OF
Dublin. but by the growth Of the city
during several centuries II Is now
in the very heart Of the Irish capital
and stands half way up what u known
AS Cork HILL" Tradition has 1t that
in $40 A D. the site was occupied by
a Norwegian fortress. but here the rec
ord ends and little Is known of the
place until King John ordered the
erection Of the building In 1909. A
part Of the Castle was completed in
1210, and ives at that time practi-
cally unassailsbls. There was the
usual moat and drawbrtdge, but the
latter was after a time allowed to
fall into decay and was taken down
in 1865. A high wall extended from
what is called the Cork Tower to
II TO the Wardrobe Tower" where
the royal robes were kept. From time
TO time buildings were added until to-
day it represents many styles Of archi-
lecture as well as 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
1891. The tower prison has three
circular rooms, one above the other,
with walls at least fifteen feet thick
1t also contains several narrow cells
scantlly lighted. In one of these there
is q secret door which cannot be dis
tinguishsd from the wall and which
IS accessible only by a revolving stone.
The tower, however, has not been used
as a prison since 1909. The room in
which Lord Edward Fitzgerald and
the rebellious Emmet were Imprisoned
Is still preserved as well as the docu-
ment relating to their conspiracy. The
tower is near the royal apartments,
and when King George makes his an
nual visit to Ireland, as he intends
doing each year. the royal standard
will fly from the top of Birmingham
Tower.
For many years the Irish Parlia-
ment assembled in Dublin Castle, and
from the records II appears that they
feasted as well as made laws. for
during the session OF two weeks held
in 1889 the vice-regal household used
seventeen hOgsheads OF beer, ten bull
locks and two score Of sheep. to say
nothing OF the other food consumed.

possession Of the Castle. but he re-
mainsd only a short time. Even the
Castle yard has its historic interest
for away back in 1854 1t was the scene
Of what at that time was known as
"a trial by combat" a custom of that
period Connor Mccormack O'Con-
nor and league Fitzpatrick O'Connor
were called upon to settle the respon-
sibility for the murder of a clans
man. The officials, such as the Gov
ernor General and Sheriffs, were pres
ent TO witness the fight The weapons
were a sword and q shield Each
man took oath that he believed his
cause to be a Just one and that he
was ready to night to the death. There
was a terrible struggle in which
league was victorious when he cut on
the head Of his cousin and presented
1t to the Lord Justice. The State
apartments are in the upper castle
yard and overlook the very spot where
this gruesome tragedy was enacted.
The entrance to the courtyard Is
through a massive arohed gateway
over which there is a figure OF JUS
ice. This statue was the object of
Dean Swift's satire, for he declared
that she sat with her face to the
vicsroy and her back to the people.
There is a fine row of Doric columns
which hold up the balcony over the
doorway.
The State Apartments compared
with England's magnificent palaces
are really beautiful. having a distinct
style OF their own unlike those OF
any part OF England's domain. They
begin with the great vestibule, where
