NATIONAL PASTIMES.
With the Irish revival movement the manly games of the past have again come to the front. Fully twenty thousand assembled at Drumcondra on November 17 to witness a hurling championship in which Cork and Kilkenny were the competitors. The latter proved successful. It was a pleasure to see the kindly spirit displayed by the spectators, the strong and powerful making way for their weaker brethren. It was a greater pleasure still when all was over to see that there was no sign of intemperance. Victors and vanquished, with their respective sympathisers, wended their way home, shunning temptation.
