    to Dunmore from Graig-na-managh for a load of herrings. When he reached the Rower he found a cock fight going on. He stayed there until he lost all his money and his horse and his cart. Some one went home and told his wife "Well said she taking what ever money he had "Let the hounds follow the hare" and off she set for the Rower. When she reached there, she found the cock fight still going on. She began to bet as her husband had done, until she won first the horse, and cart, then the money and more along with it.
