GOSSIP OFTHEC COURTS

One Of the princely residences in
Irelsnd-Killarney House, the seat Of
the Earl OF Kenmare-was almost
completely destroyed by FIRE. The
mansion was built at the cost of 200,
600 pounds only thirty years ago, but
this vast sum represents only part of
the loss, many priceless art treasures
including works Of Inigo Jones being
consumed. The fire originated in a
room on the top of the right wing
OF the palace and spread rapidly. The
alarm was raised by a servant at 5
o'clock and Lork Kenmare quickly
got into communication with the DO
lice. All the available constabulary
and volunteers we're caiIea TO ouell
the blaze, but within twenty minutes
aIter the alarm a large part of the
right wing was ablaze.
The castle water supply proved in
suincient. There were further diff
culties. owing to the local hose fittings
not coupling with those of Lord Ken
mares supply Little headway could
be made In combating the fire. which
by o'clock had obtained complete
mastery Of almost the entire premises.
The flames shot up to a height of sixty
feet ana furnished an impressive
sight. Everything possible was done
to control the confagration, but the
magnificent house, known to tourists
the world over as one of the sights of
Killarney, soon was a mass OF ruins.

well as priceless works of foreign
artists, in the chapel, we're saved. but
the principal furniture, tapestries the
valuable collection of china and the
masterpieces of Inigo Jones we're de-
stroyed. Lord Kenmare, Vicount Cas-
tlerosse, ,the Hon, Dermot Browne.
and the Hon. Gerald and Lady Dor
othy Browne took part in the work of
salvage.
The original Killarney House stood
in the valley, close to the famous
lake, but the late earl decided to erect
a new residence on higher ground,
and for picturesque loveliness the
site has no rival. The garden ter
races commanded an unbroken view
of fifteen miles of the magnificent
Killarney lake and mountain scenery.
The mansion was built of red brick,
in the Elizabethan style. and the in
