Space does not permit me to give a detailed description of<br />
<strong>Ulster</strong>'s seaside resorts and watering places, but they are all up-<br />
to-date and hospitable . They may be briefly summarised as<br />
follows :—Carrickfergus, Whitehead, Larne, Cushendall, Cushen-<br />
dun, Ballycastle and Portrush on the Antrim Coast ; Portstewart,<br />
Castlerock, and Londonderry on the Londonderry Coast ; New-<br />
townards, Ballywalter, Millisle, Portaferry, Donaghadee, Bangor,<br />
Ardglass, Newcastle, Kilkeel, Rostrevor, Warrenpoint and Newry<br />
on the County Down Coast . Inland there are many places worthy<br />
of a visit—Lough Erne, with an islet for every day in the year,<br />
provides facilities for boating, fishing, shooting, yachting ; Lough<br />
Neagh, with the "round towers of other days shining in the waves<br />
River Mourne near Newtownstewart<br />
beneath," has a charm all its own, while almost every town has<br />
its own golf links and tennis courts, where the visitor is always<br />
welcome.<br />
No article, however short, on <strong>Ulster</strong> would be complete without<br />
a reference to the famous championship golf links at Newcastle<br />
and Portrush, and it is hoped that many visitors will try their<br />
skill on these links on which Vardon, Ray, Herd and many other<br />
famous exponents of the game have played . Before the visitor<br />
leaves <strong>Ulster</strong>, he must visit the Giant's Causeway—one of the<br />
wonders of the world—a miracle in stone—he must see the largest<br />
tobacco factory in the world, the largest flax spinning factory, the<br />
largest shipyard, the largest ropeworks, and the largest distillery,<br />
for Belfast boasts all these,and when he has seen <strong>Ulster</strong>'s wondrous<br />
beauty and tasted her wondrous hospitality, he will assuredly<br />
long to come back .<br />
