Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

The article will discuss the origins and history of corned beef in Irish cuisine and culture. It outlines how cattle have been central to the ancient Irish way of life for centuries, but were cherished more for their milk than their meat. In the early modern period, with the decline in the power of the Gaelic lords, cattle became and economic commodity that was exported to England. The Cattle Acts of 1663 and 1667 affected the export trade of live cattle and led to a growing trade in salted Irish beef, centred principally on the city of Cork.

    Historical !R,evie^w The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front cover illustration is a reproduction of a 9"xl3" woodcut by Missouri artist, Fred Geary (1894-1946). Geary titled the woodcut "Winter Sport." Born at Clarence, Missouri, on May 19, 1894, Fred Geary attended William Jewell College at Liberty, Missouri, and studied at the Kansas City Art Institute. He also took classes at the Art Stu­ dents' League in New York City where he worked with Winold Reiss. Geary spent almost thirty years in the art department of the Fred Harvey system. He began to work in xylography while in his mid-thirties. Self-taught in this medium, Geary became noted for his excellent woodcuts and wood engravings. His work exhibited vitality and illu­ strated the artist's commitment to accuracy and detail. After several years of declining health Geary died on October 13, 1946, at his home in Carrollton. In 1948, Mrs. S.E. Geary, mother of the artist, pre­ sented sixty-six woodcuts and other items to the State Historical Society of Missouri.
