Business Advertisements WANGANUI RACES FOR THE LEATHER MEDAL PRESENTED BY THE OLD SNOB. For blood, pedigree, and pacea, View the Wanganui Leather Races. The Maoris have their race begun, But the Maori race is nearly run. For a long race they constitution laok, And white stripes will o'ershade the black. 1. King of Blather, by Hookey Walker, out of Jenny Jones. This horse has had his constitution patched,| ."~ " 6 1? „<JT"- •?&•;' j Before the day you'll find him scratched, j 2. BarberRunning close with King of Blather, Worked him up to a steaming lather. Between them only a hair at moat, So be just cut that and shaved the post. 3. Grocer, out of Sharp — Only lately he ran across, A counterfeit, not a Stirling horae — Unfit company for cracks, So dab him down among the hacks. 4. Sanctimonious, by The Cloak, out of Benevolence — This horse you can't depend upon, He always runs with kneecaps on ; In good company he can't cease A trick of falling on his knees, 5. Wellington Roarer, by Porpoise-hide, out of Split Sheepskin — A showy animal, shod with brass, Link between the horse and ass j Troubled with insatiate drougth, Always frothing at the mouth ; Windy spasms he can't o'ereome, Inside hollow as a drum j I So to him I bid good bye, ! He'll never catch a judge's eye. 6. Old Snob, a nondiscript — A regular thorough goer, Cut of a racer every inch o'er. He lately pulled up looking haggard, "A break down," all the stables cried, But the old hoss proved the stables lied j Through his horses he went like a sail, And straightway showed the ruck his tail, All you who want your nags well shod, To pace it lightly o'er the sod, Don't be by counterfeit farriers tricked, ' Or else you'll get your horses pricked. THE CORNERBOOT SHOP EVERBODY KNOWS IT. Mrs Walker
