AUCKLAND TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. 142. THE races! the races! are coming on fait, But here we've had races for many months past; I don't mean a horse-race, I'm speaking of stores, Where always they're plastering puffs on the doors. Yes, racing for money, the hard-hearted lot : Through puffing the public spend all they have got. Novr the first on the list is the " Mogul and Jock :" Don't on them invest, or you'll lose all you've got. The "Bellringer" scratched for the Season yon know : |When he's used all his puff on the horn he wrl blow. The " Star of the Corner," too late in the field, There are others before him, so he'll have to yield ? "Crinoline " comes next, last year might have done On the field May and Honey do not stand Al. "Panic" enters again, the" idea's absurd : Hell not be the favourite— of that take my word. The " National " too, his chance is all up. They've moved him, I see, he'll not win the Cap* The "Annual Sale," at a discount I see : The contest too strong, he had better been free. Last, though not least, " Little- Friend " if you please ; ' To do good for kind public his attempts never cease. Again he's the favourite, so on him invest : None entered so good, when put to the test. Though some years have passed since he entered the field, Never yet since he started to the others did yield. So on him invest, before if s too late. You know well that Auckland is in a queer state ; So if you want CLOTHING, no matter what kind, By buying at " Friend's," you'll save much you'll find. His Stock is well sorted, «o your Friends please > send, " , To-invest when they, can on the favourite " Your Friend.
