This Fair was held on Tuesday, 19th July 1870, with a large attendance. Springers met with a ready sale, prices varying from £7 5s to £12 each; dry cows in good condition were quickly bought up for grass, from £7 to £10 each, according to condition and size; two-year-old heifers met with a ready sale, from £6 to £7 5s each. There was very little demand for anything inferior. There were a few lots of good yearling heifers and bullocks exhibited, but in very few instances exchanged owners. There were several lots of sheep, some of which were sold for 16s each; but, on the whole, the demand was bad, owing to the very low condition in which they appeared. It was almost impossible to get fat sheep, which were very scarce then. The pig market was well supplied. The prices were however so low that people refused to sell. Young pigs were in great demand, and readily sold from 17s to 24s each. There was a very good supply of cabbage plants, which sold from 5d to 6d per hundred. Notwithstanding the immense concourse of people who attended this old-established fair, everything passed off very quietly. No disturbance whatever took place, and there were only a few instances of intoxication, which were looked after by the constabulary, so that, on the whole, we may be proud of the peace and harmony which prevail in the large district of country surrounding the ancient corporation of Killybegs.
