Due to the inclement weather in Limerick today, the Gaelic Athletic Sports had to be abandoned. The track was heavily flooded, rendering it unsuitable for the event to proceed. Only a few races were able to be run, namely the Boys’ Race and the heats in the Mile Cycle race. It was decided by the organizing committee to postpone the meeting to the 1st of next month.

Despite the unfavourable conditions, a number of fully-loaded excursion trains arrived in the city in connection with the event. The cancellation of the sports was a disappointment as the program included a representative range of events. The atmospheric conditions were not conducive to a successful meeting, and it was deemed necessary to reschedule the event for a later date.
