and in places the black mouth of some long cavern is seen. A 

 walk of about a mile up a beautiful glen brings us to the 

 celebrated Marble Arch. Rapidly crossing the arch, the 

 party got on to the open mountain, and, under the leadership 

 of that prince of guides, Mr. Plunkett, soon found them- 

 selves above a deep glen. At the bottom of this was found a 

 small opening, through which the party made a descent over 

 rugged rocks. A short journey by narrow byways led us 

 to a rapid underground river. Torches and flares were lit, 

 and we found ourselves in a cavern of considerable dimen- 

 sions, in places at least thirty feet high. The smoke of the 

 flares made us postpone all philosophising in the cave, and 

 hastened a rapid retreat, which was executed with safety over 

 the difficult ground. On our return to the Marble Arch we 

 saw the entrance to another cave, but, as it is not easy travel-

 the description of it published by Monsieur Martel in the 

 journal of the Alpine Club. 



The drive home was accomplished in quick time, and the 

 whole party left Enniskillen by the afternoon train, passed 

 safely through the maze of intricate train arrangements at 

 Clones (where the Dublin members left us), and we arrived 

 at Belfast with the idea that we had not exhaused the excur- 

 sions possible to be made from Enniskillen as a centre. 



GIANT'S RING. 



(Half-Day Excursion.) 



The Club met on Saturday 26th July at the Malone 

 Park gates, for a half-day excursion. Owing to the severe 

 thunderstorm which raged in the forenoon there was a small 

 attendance, fourteen members only mustering at the hour 

 appointed. As the weather showed signs of improving, the 

 members decided to start, feeling confident of the well-known 

 good luck of the Club in matter of weather. The road for 

 Shaw's Bridge and the Giant's Ring was taken, a brief atten-
