BREWERIES

LOCAL STOCKS 1891

AFTER THE HOLIDAY 22nd June 1897
There were a few jarring notes in the jubilee song of Belfast, and although written in the minor it was given with plenty of spirit and enthusiasm.  Everybody in fact seemed disposed to fulfil the injunction contained in the concluding stanza of the National Anthem - the one with the shocking bad rhymes - "to sing with heart and voice God save the Queen."  An incident which perhaps threw the final chorus a little out was the failure as a spectacle of the much talked of and municipally patronised Cavehill bonfire.  Never had a bonfire a finer chance, as far as public interest was concerned, of distinguishing itself.  The country people who had kept the streets of the city thronged during the day and the towns people who returned after keeping the jubilee by the sad sea waves joined forces to repair towards Ben Madigan for what was expected to be the one big beacon of Ulster's loyalty.  They swarmed like gnats upon the Cavehill Road, they crowded roads and fields alike at Skegoniel and Oldpark.  The few thousands of pilgrims on the tor itself were as nothing by comparison with the multitudes of equally devout but less active fire worshippers who gathered about its base and turned up their eyes patiently towards "Napoleon's Nose," watching for the promised blaze.  Most of them had contracted a serious "crick in the neck" before the feeble point of light which represented the bonfire of Craigy - Ben Madigan - broke through the heavy mist that covered the hill like a pall.  They cheered feebly at first this twinkling but uncertain flame, which some swore was only a will-o'-the-wisp.  But when time passed and the corpse-light still flickered, barely holding its own against the mist, each man asked of his fellow "But what went ye out for to see?"  Then the big crowds realised that the anticipated spectacular treat was "off," melted away, feeling as one disguested (disgusted) Ghebir tersely put it, "sold."  This was all that the Watcher said, but the tone in which the monosyllable was uttered expressed much.  As already observed, the disappointment of so many thousands of people tended to bring the final chorus of the jubilee song a little - but only a little - out a tune.  Perhaps everyone had expected too much of the Cave Hill bonfires - and too little of the mist.  At the same time other local bonfires less representatively created and  and less influentially countenanced, such as those at Ligoniel, Whitehead, and Carnalea, came off far better.  Yesterday Belfast, as regards its streets and its people, bore the unmistakable aspect of the "butt end of a holiday."  Flags still waved from a number of the houses in the city, and most of those business establishments which had undergone more elaborate exterior decoration retained their bravery, so that the festive aspect which the thoroughfares presented on Tuesday was in great measure preserved.  Although all the shops reopened and the factories resumed business, a vast number of the jubilee holiday-makers insisted on an "encore turn," and there was a large amount of improvised festivity which inevitably follows a set feast.  Today, however, we shall probably regain the even tenour of our way, and the jubilee holidays with us will have become only a memory.  In connection with Tuesday's celebrations we may mention that the jubilee was very heartily and loyally kept by the inhabitants of Newtownbreda.  In the evening two large bonfires were lighted, one on land belonging to Mr. James McCormick, J.P., and the other in a field belonging to Mr. John Woods, Breda Lodge.  Both were surrounded by large crowds who cheered for her Majesty and sang the National Anthem, the Newtownbreda Flute Band supplying an effective accompaniment.
