Hurroo, my darlings! didn't I tell you it 'ud never do? Success to bould John Tuam and the ould siminary ov Firdramore!

Well done, Bob, now you've got her Hurroo, Tony, my boy, you're all right now:" and the mare, after a dozen preliminary plunges, joined the other horses. "Faix, they're all over that did you see that big brown horse?
