Origin of the Games.
What the olympic games were TO
the ancient Greeks the Tailltean
"Aonach" (fair) was to the Gaels OF
old. II was held at n pace now
called Telltown near Ceannanus Nor,
about 30 miles northwest of Dublin.
The place takes it's name from Tall
to. the f"ostermother OF King Lugh,
who. greatly grieved at her death,
had her buried at Telltown with
great pomp and ceremony. The bur
ial mound Is still to be seen. Lugh
also ordered the fair and games to
be celebrated periodically in honor
OF his foster mother.
The celebrated fairs of ancient
Ireland were. 1t Is believed held IN
the vicinity OF noted cemeteries and.

In ancient funeral ceremonies.
The Tailltean festival was cele-
brated at the beginning OF August

contests OF feats of strength, skill
and endurance. there military dis
plays. chariot races, horse races and
musical and poetical competitions.
a great concourse of merchants as
sembled for trading purposes. Many
matters OF national and legal i'm
portanco were also decided at this
festival. The annals OF Ireland give
l16S as the last year in which tho
games were held in the ancient style.
The athletic contests. however, were
continued down TO a comparatively
recent date.
