At look back at Donnybrook
Editor's note: On perusing the
December 7, 1939 issue of the Sentinel,
the following article was found. We
reprint it for the interest of our readers.
DONNYBROOK FAIR
It must have been in the very early
days Of settlement in Wawanfsh that fall
fairs were 'held in the little village of
Donnybrook—now little more than a
country cross road. But for a number of
years Donnybrook had .a fall fair and
evidently a poet who celebrated- the an-
nual event in the lines which follow:
'Twos in 1866 in the fall of the year.
When the Fenians were thinking of, ven-
turing here,
I girted my saddle and mounted my
mare,
Then off I skidaddled for Donnybrook
Fair.
From the North came the Chamneys and
Bruce and O'Nells,
Some came through the bush and some
by the .fields,
The Deacons and Martins and Agnews
were there,
All out -for a time ..at Donnybrook Fair.
From the East came the Marwoods, the
CPAs and the &ells,
Torn Parrott and Fothergill came with
Sam Fells;
The Scotts and McBurneys and ,Berrys
were ,there,
Also Desmores and Shorts 491 Donnybrook
Fair.
From the South tame the Redmonds, the
Hoovers and Fox,
McClinton and Helps with butter in
creeks,
Buchanans and Parks and Mutchs were
there,
And Carrots and Cassidys came to the
fair.
From the West we saw Wallace and
Thompson and Brooks,
O'Connors and Flynns, the Phealans and
Lukes;
McGrogan and Brophy and Armstrongs
were there,
Who came to encourage the Donnybrook
Fair.
Myself and Pat Cain stepped up to the
bar,
Where Dennis had liquor corked in a jar;
We each had two swigs when I heard Pat
declare,
Be was glad he came to Donnybrook
Fair.
There's a man named Allen, all knew
him by sight,
When he drank half a gallon was
gloriously tight.
When he stripped off his coat I heard
him declare
He could lick any man at Donnybrook
Fair.
There's a man named Wat Nicol over
near Parrot's,
Who got first prize for his corn and his
carrots;
Likewise for his pumpkins, not better
were, there.
So he got on humping at Donnybrook
Fair.
That famous stock -breeder the terror of
dogs,
Got first prize for colt, cattle and hogs,
