THE FIGHT BEGAN.
Origin Of a Row in DonnybrOOk Fair.
Heads and ShiIlelahs.

Origin OF q Row IN Donhybrook faT'
Heads and Shillelahs.
How did the row begins l have been try
ing for the last half hour to find out; but,
after all, no one but an Englishman would
have asked the question cannot tell you
the least, but can form pretty good idea,
and perhaps convey one To your readers by
explaining how a that witnessed many
years ago in Donnybrook fair, Of Immortal
memory, did begin.
Ii was late in the afternoon, and the fair
had preserved unwonted air OF quiet
during the day, when there came staggering
along close to where l was standing, an
Irishnan who was evidently "spolIing Tor q
fight" Close by stood a dancing booth, ono
of the ordinary canvas tents one secs at every
fair or race course for that matter, with
platform in the middle and "a bench running
all round on which the spectators sat. On
the outside as they sat could be clearly seen,
under the thin covering of the tents, the out
lines Of their figures as they leaned against
the canvas.
-Four o'clock an no foight yet," muttered
the new arrival, regretfully, as he steadied
himself to look round for a possible antago-
mist. Suddenly his eye caught the booth, and
rested approvingly upon it, when the canvas
swayed with the heads and shoulders of the
spectators within Without n moments hesi-
tation he gave "haroOsh," waved his shliie-
lah round his head and brought it down
with all his force upon the projection nearest
to him. representing the skull OF some hapiesss
inmate who, in fancied security, was enjoy
ing a quiet view of the proceedings inside
The projection disappeared, and with it the
owner OF the head which had caused it. In a
moment the inmates of the booth swarmed
out-aIl save one; and so the fight began
II must have been somewhat thus that the
row began to-day. One moment there was
good humor and quiet; little bustling, per
haps an occasional cheer or AN intermittent
boo" and the next IA tossing sea of heads,
surmounted by a sort of surge of shillelahs-

stopped at the crossing of the Fort Worth

congregated on the track in front of the

train to proceed to which they replied that
they were not interfering. Several men
were noticed laying on the ground a few
y ards from the track. The officers suspi-
cions being aroused he ordered the men to
throw up their hands. The command was
obeyed, but as the hands came up they
brought Winchester rifles with them which
belched forth deadly fire. The officers re-
turned the fire with deadly effect. After
the first fire the posse advanced and con-
tinued firing, while the men in ambush re-
treated behind some piles of ties which
proved most excellent bresstworks, and
