The race between a jattnting car and a twenty-ton cutter in the distant view was hidden by the darkness, and only a lovely Kenmare district.

Below us was 'a long deep valley losing itself myself in the hands of Spillane, the most accomplished of bugle-players, and the politest of hotel-managers; and, after a hasty dinner, I was soon rattling along beside the lake in a jaunting car, with a promise of being at my journey's end, if not before dark, yet at no unreasonable hour. An exquisite drive of three hours brought me to Kerunare. A smart-looking boatman, after ascertaining who I wa , informed me that my friend had sent up his yacht, a smart cutter of twenty tons, and that if I preferred' a sail" to a longer drive, they were ready to take charge of me.

As in the case of book-titles, great freedom has been taken and allowed by architects. There is the classic case of the Callan boy, James Hoban, who after a few years as a student of the Dublin Society's Schools and 2. spell of work on the building of the old Dublin Custom House went to America at the age of 22 and set up as an architect and contractor all in one. He secured a couple of contracts by designs which he had adapted from buildings in D.S.A. and then by a skilful use of the design of the Duke of Leinster's House, now Dail Eireann, at Dublin, he captured the contract for building the White House at Washington. In this the middle front section is c~rried forward into a rounded design with a circle of pIllars but the main features of the work are as in Leinster House, Dublin. Copyright was open sesame that time in books and bricks, SO the Callan man did not need to instruct his solicitors. A book could be written about Hoban and the many other Iri hmen who went abroad in the difficult THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, year and, by the use of their wits, on a minimum of Home of the President of the United States academic training, rose to the top of many trades. Indeed it almost seems as if the Irishman rarely rises to the top unless he is forced by his early limitations to pull out the last resources of his wits. There was the classic case of the Clareman, John P. Holland, who invented the submarine. He floundered along for many years as a schoolmaster in Ireland: All the time he was meditating his plans, but here, he had no scope. His urge towuds the submarine arose out of his patriotic desire to invent a weapon that could be used to free his own country first. When he was thirty-three years old he emigrated to ew York. Delay and difficulties interfered with him there too, but his invention, at la.st, wa.s a success and was 2.dopted by the D.S.A., Japan a.nd other countries. Judged by the woeful uses to which it has been put, only future historian and philosophers can tell how far mankind has been maimed or benefitted by it. But it was an Irishman, literally at his wits' end, who discovered the first practiLal secret. of it.
