- (continued from previous page)Jimmy Ashe jumped a horse. A man by the name of Bat Finn was the strongest man in the police force. He was also a good jumper and weight thrower.
- Long ago a man by the name of Micky Kelliher from Glendine was a great mower. He used to mow an acre and a half of hay in a day. He was also a great runner. One day he was taken to the barrack. He ran away and all the police ran after him. They ran three miles after him and in the end they could not catch him. They were in search of him for a couple of months and he gave himself up to them again. Another man by the name of Mick Baker mowed two English acres of hay in a day.
