Sir, - William A. O'Gorman (September 4th) remarks on the early arrival of the festive season with folk dancers dancing to Christmas music at the Curragh Races. He may well be correct, although I fancy that what he heard was the folk tune The Piper in the Meadow, rather than Deck the halls with Boughs of Holly, with which it shares the same melody. - Yours, etc., Jack Morrissey,
