    (continued from previous page)
    May day and the boys and girls used then take a week's holiday. It was the greatest event of the year to them and they used to spare up during that week. They all used to arrange to come to Kill and to go to a certain public house here and which was usually where Baldwin's public house now is. They would then sing and dance and drink for the day. They would come again next day but their sport would be over for another year because the farmers would be there to hire them for another year.
