    The great runners were Tadg O Daly. He ran from Mount Eagle to Kilsarcon grave yard and horses and hounds after him. They did not get up to him. It took him about twenty minutes and he beat them.
    The great jumpers are supposed to be Jack O Sullivan Adriville. He jumped the old Chapel gate in Scartaglin and it is supposed to be 6 1/2 feet high and some other man also.
