Lyons, and Mrs. Lyons, accom- i \ panied by Sir Henry Barwell, a former Premier of South Australia, arrived in r Killarney and was hailed by the hotel ] orchestra playing "The Soldiers' Song." £ The party motored through 100 miles ( of mountainous country, ablaze with i golden gorse, from Cork where Mr. Philip Monahan, city manager, received I i them on behalf of the Lord Mayor. 1 'They attended High Mass in St. Pat- i rick's Cathedral and lunched with t Monsignqr Sexton, Dean of Cork. Afterwards they visited Blarney t j Castle, where Mrs. Lyons climbed the t I difficult spiral staircase and watched If
tourists kiss the Blarney Stone, but neither Mr. nor Mrs. Lyons emulated this gymnastic feat, which entails lying on one's back and nearly dislocating one's neck.
The party afterwards skirted romantic Bantry Bay and toured Kerry, which is regarded as the "Jewel of Ireland" as Killarney is regarded as \he "Jewel of Kerry."
