   but who was he that led them all
   with such triumphant air
   Huzah, huzah, huzah, me boys, 'tis
   Hogshaw and his mare

   Hogshaw's mare, Fairy Queen won the race.

   The school master used be very poor in them days. The children used bring a penny every Monday morning and very few of them were able to afford it.
   The people around used, in turns, give the teacher his dinner every day they used have books, called, first book, second book, third book and fourth book. in my young days there were people able to speak a good share of Irish but I don't think they'd be able to keep up a conversation in it.
