   an immense crowd about five hundred people followed the heroes. It was a very hard job to keep back the crowd from the fun. There were powerful casters also, but Patrick Lyons Knockneigh was their leader. It was a stone from the ditch they casted those times, because the weights were scarce. Tom Murphy Knocknagoshel was a great runner. He was the best in this parish and he won all the prize that were laid on for the running. He often ran two miles in about fifteen minutes. He was a light, hardy, loose man. It was very seldom entirely that men and horses used to race. There was one race between Con Reidy Dineen and Tom Sullivan Cordal. The race was three miles of a distance from Cordal to Scartaglin. Con Reidy had a horse, Tom ran on foot. Tom had to run and he beat the horse. Tom had a near way but it did not amount to much. Tom got ten yards of a start and he kept the lead all the way until he reached the winning post. He got four pound as a prize and he was delighted. He earned it very much and he sweated a lot.
