Pasted alongside the article are comic sketches involving penny-farthings and a very fine photograph of a man standing in front of a penny-farthing. The book further contains humorous accounts reported in newspapers; comic poems, limericks and other ditties; and comic sketches cut out from magazines, including one entitled ‘Limerick Races 1880 Election Stakes’ featuring ‘Trade ridden by Sellors, Whig Hack ridden by Connolly and Political Ass ridden by Ellard’. Also contained in the scrapbook are sports and theatre programmes (many of the latter featuring Charles Henry Gubbins in various roles); reviews of concerts and plays; and descriptions and programmes of fancy dress and other balls, including a detailed and lengthy account of one held at Adare Manor in 1893. Items of a more personal note have also been included on the pages of the scrapbook, such as photographs, letters and covers of envelopes; obituaries of Charles’ athlete friends and press cuttings relating to his promotion first to Cork and later to Manchester, his wedding and the birth of his first child.
