WATERFORD CITY. -This fine old Irish city-ranking fifth in the island- is situated on the southern bank of "the gentle Suir that, making way by sweet Clonmel adorns rich Waterford." Demund Spenser, one of England's greatest bards, wrote as quoted more than three hundred years ago, and, even the, "rich Waterford" -one of the first places in Ireland that succumbed to the Anglo-Normans- was four hundred years under the English sway! Because of its fidelity to the English connection, and its resistance to Perkin Warbeck, in the reign of Henry VII, it won for its motto "Urbs Intacta Manet." Its ancient cathedral witnessed the ill-starred marriage of Strongbow and Eva McMurrough-daughter of the infamous royal traitor of Leinster-and from this union the present ruler of England derives the only drop of Irish blood in her veins. The harbor, which opens on the sea four miles below the city, has sheltered many a hostile English fleet, and on its waves have rocked the war galleys of Henry and Richard II. and the battle-ships of Cromwell. The wooden and iron bridge, shown in the sketch, which connects the city with the suburb on the Kilkenny side of the Suir, is 832 feet in length, 40 in width, has thirty nine arches, forty oaken piers and a capacious "draw" for the passage of vessels. It was built a century ago, and is still well preserved. On the Quay stands Reginald's Tower-a relic of the Danes. Waterford gave to Ireland one of her greatest orators-General Thomas Francis Meagher.
