(continued from previous page)It being on the twenty fourth of May
The year ninety four
There was held a fair in Islands
Where it never was held beforeThis fair was not plackcarded
Though it was rumoured up and down
And long before the business was held
They came from Williamstown, Ballyhanuis

And slips were sold for ourBonham's they made fifty five
And some said they made more
