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.
