    was going, and the other
    replied that he was going to
    jump at Rosegarland Sports.
    "If you cannot beat me," said
    the other, "it is no use going
    there for I have been beaten
    there already."
    Then they had a contest, and
    the man, who was going to compete,
    was defeated by the man who
    was returning.
    He then decided that there was
    no use in going to the sports, and
    he returned to Carlow with his
    companion.
    There is no record of the
    nature of the leap, but there
    is a record of the name of the
    man who was defeated in
    Rosegarland.
