Abbey, a grand view can be had of some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole of the county. The following are the best places of refreshment _en route_:--Ballymacarbery (Miss Power's), Newcastle, and Ardfinan. Two good licensed houses. Clogheen--The Hotel. Melleray--The traveller will always be hospitably received here. ~Three or more Day Tours from Waterford.

Instead of returning to Waterford by rail, the tourist on the fourth day may enjoy a most entertaining tour, _via_ the Pike, Coomshinawin--previously referred to--Curraghmore, Piltown, and Waterford.

No. 1.~ Sligo, Dromahaire, 12; Ballysadare, 24; Knockanree Glen, 28; Sligo, 33. Keeping along the north shore of the lake, Hazlewood Park, 2 miles from Sligo, is well worth visiting.
