    John Bourke, who lived in Swinford, could run a three mile. He could do it in a quarter of an hour.
    Pat Staunton and James Bierne started to run a four mile race in Balla but James won the race.
    Anthony Griffin of Swinford could catch a hare by running after him. He could catch a rabbit quite easily.
