IPast By P. BROWNER. HE early capital cities of the various provinces of Ireland were not capitals in our sen e o[ T the word. 'l'hey were military encampments grouped around the residences of kings. For the eal'ly Gaels were no lovers of town or city lif , as it i understood to-day. They were happier in the midst of open fields near a hill 01' height, when an enemy could be seen afar off, and whither they could retire to prepare for the onslaught. Back to the dawn of history, Tara, in the centre of the plains of Meath, was the capital of all Ireland. The High King had his seat here; and the great ational Assembly or Feis was held at Tara. In the first century A.D. Tuathal became King of lrehmd. He constituted a new province-M atn-out of it portion of north Lein ter and the urrounding district, and set up his chief seat at the Hill of Uisneach. But the capital was soon transferred to Tara which was thus restor d to its pride of place among the capital cities of Ireland. The first of the High King to become really power­ ful was Gonn of the Hundred Battles. His sup riority 0ver the other princes of Ireland was mainly du to the exertions of the Fianna, an army of warrior or­ ganised to protect the interests of the Throne of Ireland. But it was his grandson, Cormac Mac Art, who, in the third century, ruled at Tarn, in the full blaze of its glory. ormac was et mighty figure­ soldier, scholar, patron of learning, and lawmaker. He founded three colleges at Tara; he built most of the structures, the remains of which can now be een on Tara's grassy slope. Many stories about the Fianna are woven into the hi tory and legend of his reign. He introduced the first water mill in Ireland. He re­ organised the Feis at Tara, held every three years to Photo] [I.T.A. make the laws and ettle the di putes of Ireland; to The Coronation Stone of the Kings of Munster at Cashel. hear and sanction the Annals of the country and Ruth Na Hiogh, south of this, is the most important register them, when approved, in the 'altair of Tara. of the raths. \\'ithin it are the T ae Cormaic ( 01'­ In the reign of Dermot (544-565) Tara cea ed to b mac's House), the Forradh (Assembly mound) with the capital of Ireland.
