    When there is a Coursing or Races near hand every band camps near the place where the affair is going to take place. Each camp has its own way for making money. One band might have a standing selling sweets another band might have shooting galleries and so on.
    The Reillys are another family that visit my district. This family is poorer than the McInerneys. These people go in one family and they travel in ass and cars. They have no money or pensions and they have to depend on what they get from country houses.
