THE KILMORNA KERRIES. When proceeding by train from Tralee to Limerick the Prince and Princess of Wales passed through Kilmorna, the resident of Pierce Mahony, Esq. the owner of a large herd of Kerry cattle, well known by its success in the show yard. By arrangements, the train went slowly through Kilmorna, and Mr Mahony had his entire herd numbering about eighty head, arranged in the field, adjoining the line. Several prize-winners wore red and blue rosettes, which formed a pretty contrast with their shining black skins. His Royal Highness stood looking out of the window until the last of the Kerries was passed and took much interest in having the various animals pointed out to him. A gateway by the side of the line was gaily decorated with Dainish and other flags and a hearty cheer was given by the men in Mr. Mahony’s employment as the Royal Party passed. We are glad that the Prince had an opportunity of seeing a really, good herd of our only native breed. Amongst the other good animals that have come from this herd, may be mentioned the following; Dromore who took first prize at Tralee1879; and second at the Royal Show, Limerick, 1883. Dromore was remarkable for his success as a stock getter, being sire of the following animals; Black Prince, 1st Limerick, 1883; 2nd Cork , 1883; 2nd Dublin, 1884; Kenmare 1st, Cork 1883;; 1st Kilkenny, 1884; 1st Cork, 1884; Sarsfield, 1st Dublin 1884; Trien, 2nd Kilkenny 1884; Saba, 2nd Cork 1884; Sheelah, commended, Kilkenny, 1884;; do Cork 1884; Valentia, 2nd Dublin, 1884; Shan Dhuv, commended, Dublin, 1885.
Since Dromore was sold in 1883, his son Kenmare has been in use in the herd, His successes in in the show yard are already enumerated. Mr Mahony has recetly parted with him, and the bull now in use is Aherlow, out of a cow belonging to Mr Goode, Aherlow, county Cork, which took 1st, Limited, 1883, and 1st, Dublin Dairy Show, 1883. She was an extraordinary milker, as was also her dam, Magpie. Aherlow’s sire was a black Kerry bull, selected for Mr Goode, by that excellent judge, Mr Henry Doran and took second prize at the Cork show in 1881.
Aherlow has never been exhibited; but he is the sire of the first prize bull Feale, in the yearling class at the Spring Show, Dublin 1885. Feale is a bull that promises very well, having a head of a perfect type and being otherwise exceedingly well shaped. We understand Mr Mahony intends keeping him for use in his own herd. His dam, Waterville, who is still in the Kilmorna Herd, is also a celebrated prize taker, having been 2nd Limerick; 1883; 1st Cork, 1883; 2nd Dublin,1884, 1st, Cork, 1884 ; 2nd, Dublin, 1885, Mr Mahony believes thoroughly in the Kerry as a suitable dairy cow for the lighter lands throughout the country. He believes that the milking qualities, which are already good, can be considerably improved by selection. To make it a useful herd for the farmers of the country it will have to be improved as regards size, but judging from the advance already made in Kilmorna in this direction, there will not be much difficulty in doing so. The Welsh have already produced a valuable breed,in many respects closely resembling the Kerry. The Scotch, out of no better materials, have now the Ayrshire, the Polled Angus and the Galloway. The little Channel Islands have no less than two breeds celebrated throughout the world for their butter-making qualities. Ireland has but one native breed, which, although it possesses qualities which, if reasonably developed, would suffice to place it in the first ranks, has hitherto been almost totally neglected. Can our agricultural societies do nothing to improve our only native breed?—Farmer’s Gazette.

Funeral from Kilmorna
Our Listowel correspondent writes:
On Friday, the remains of the late Mr G. Gun-Mahony, D.L., Kilmorna, Listowel were removed from Kilmorna House to the railway station and conveyed hence to his burial place, Cheltenham, England, where his late respected mother was laid to-rest. People of all classes from all parts of North Kerry attended to pay their respects to a gentleman who was loved and liked by everyone, who was able to appreciate worth and benevolence . The bier in which the honoured remains were laid was borne to the railway station by the grief-stricken employees of the deceased; and received by the able and courteous station master, Mr. Con McAuliffe, all the respect due to a gentleman who was deservedly the object of universal affection.
It was hoped that Mr. Pierce Gun Mahony, his respected brother, would be present, but this through some reason or another was rendered impossible, as he could not have arrived from Bulgaria in time to attend the removal-of the remains of his respected brother from the old homestead on the banks of the Feale. However, his stepbrothers, Sir Arthur Vickers, Dr. Vickers and Mr. Pierce G. O’Mahony, were present, and amongst those who attended the funeral procession from Kilmorna House to the railway station, though he differed from them in religion, were—The Very Rev. T. J .Canon O’Riordan, P.P.; V.F., Listowel; Rev. J. Beasley, P.P., Duagh; Rev T. Trant, C.C. ., Newtown; Rev. D. F. O’Sullivan, C.C., S.T.L.; do.; as well as The Rev . Canon Patterson, Protestant Rector, Listowel, who was officially in attendance.
Wreaths were sent from the following who were present in the mournful cortege; Mr. Pierce O’Mahony (brother), Madam Yanick (sister), Sir Arthur Vickers and Dr. Vickers (step brothers), Mrs. G. McElligott and Mrs. W. McElligott, Mrs. Foran, Mrs. Wall, Mrs. Sweetnam, the Gardner and the servants, Kilmorna House, etc., etc.

Unforgettable memories of meeting three Inspiring Prophets of and for our time
by Margie Buttitta SSL
As we sadly accompany the many continual assaults today on peace, justice, climate change, ecology, and a variety of spiritual and social issues, I would like to acknowledge and call attention to three internationally-acclaimed prophets of/for our time and recall some memorable experiences of mine in the late 1980s.

The three, speaking in Russian, are living witnesses to one of the single worst acts of brutality of the Holocaust. In the space of 48 hours, 33,771 Jews were shot to death, their bodies dumped into a ravine where an estimated 100,000 people — not only Jews but also Ukrainians, Roma, mentally ill people and others — eventually would be killed by the Nazi regime.
