Cork could each mow an Irish acre of hay in one day. Whenever a few were mowing they generally had a race to see who was the best. James Fitzgerald of Knockavorheen, Kiskeam, Co. Cork and Con O Neill and Call O Callaghan of "Doon na Slinn" were noted dancers in this district. Hornpipes, Jigs, and Reels were the steps danced. They were taught by musicmasters.
