  1. The O'Queely Plate

    CBÉS 0040

    Leathanach 0377

    All the other articles are of the same massive character.
    Each article bears the episcopal arms of Archbishop O'Queely, and is enriched with enamel bosses. On the chalice there are sixteen bosses ornamented with blue enamel engravings, and the design on the enamel ornaments is identical with that on the cruets and cruet basin. The large salver is marked M F/V D A and is stamped with some animal rampart before what appears to be a tree.
    Originally each article bore the inscription: D. MALACHIAS QUELEUS ARPUS TUAMENS MEEF A* 1637. Unfortunately Mr. Lynch has ordered in his will "that the said silver valuables may have their present inscriptions effaced after my decease, if not done prior that time; and that there may be engraved at my expense the following:-
    "Gift from Don Henrique Lynch of Clogher House, who died in Cadiz, to the Parochial Catholic Church to which belongs the aforesaid Clogher House"
    Accordingly the inscription which the chalice now bears is:-
    MUNUS HENRICI LYNCH, Clogher House NATI, GADIBUS (?) OBITI. CATHOL. BURRISCARRA PARDEGIAE.
    This inscription is written around the rim of the base, and there is no gilt on this rim. Fortunately in the case of the cruets the wishes of Mr Lynch to have the original

    Churning. We have an ordinary churn at home. It is a large sized one, and it holds ten gallons of milk. It was John Corley, an old carpenter who lived in (Cas) Castlebar, who made it.
    My mother churns three times a week. First of all she washes the churn, and puts the milk, and the dash into it, and after that she puts the lid, and the churncup on it. Then she starts churning, and when she is a while at it, she puts warm water in it to break the milk. When she has finished she takes the butter out of the churn, and washes it. Then she washed it again, and puts salt in it, and after that she makes it into little rolls.

    Leathanach 154

    In earlier days when weight-throwing and all such games, that required great strength, were very popular, Irish people were noted far and near for their skill.
    Of our local heroes, the greatest man of his day was Mr. Michael O'Regan, of Clogher House, Shanballymore. Mr. O'Regan is still alive, and resides on his farm at Clogher.
    He is still a very strong, stalwart, man and is about six feet three inches in height. Whilst still in his school days he took up weigh-throwing as a past time. As he got older and got more experienced he took it up as a profession. He gained lots of honour in the sports-field, but it was not until the year 1867 that he broke the world's record in Shanballymore by throwing the half-hundred weight twenty-seven and a half feet without a follow, and throwing the same weight fourteen feet over the bar at Kildorrery. This record still stands unbeaten.
    Two years later he strained the muscles of his right hip, and had to retire from the sports field at the age of thirty two.
