An Irish jig danced by a young peasant couple. Energetic performance, which is evidently a great event to the dancers and fiddlers. Unusual seriousness and earnestness are apparent, and the face of the male dancer in particular is a study in physiognomy After the sports. Amusing snapshot of the one and only native of Lancashire on the Island. He is "resting," fast and uncomfortably asleep on a suggestive beer barrel.
