From The Cork Examiner, 11 June 1878 - WHIT-MONDAY.--Yesterday being Whit-monday, the various banks in the city were closed. The streets were fairly thronged with strangers and sight-seers from the country throughout the day, but the usual bustle and signs of a day's "outing" were not so apparent as in former years, owing to the very unpropitious weather which has prevailed for some days. Some excursions were arranged for, but owing to this circumstance, they were postponed to a future day. The majority of the people who left the city for a day's pleasure proceeded to Bandon, where a good day's amusement was had at the Bandon and Cashelmore Hunt Steeplechases. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
