The Coach and brave Douglas were ready you bet , To drive some to the Meet , also sweet Violet ; Mackenzie took charge of the rest in the Brake , And to Higgins ' field straight our way we did make . Jack Bunbury there , with all spirits and wine , Entertained us and told us the lay of the line ; And a man on the road said we really must look Out for bogs and disasters and a ' orrible brook . There were fifteen turned out all ready to do , De Laski and Claude each running two ; Swagger Dick looked rare smart on famous Nell Gwynne And Gilbert was riding on Claude's second string . APRIL 6th , 1889 . John Henry dashed past us full of defiance , On his winning to - day we don't place much reliance , For Acaster , Slosh , and good Santa Maria Are certainly sure to be very much higher . Donovan , too , famed in Meynell's great vale , Will show nearly all naught else but his tail , While Victor's gay Kitten and Charlie's neat Nancy Look likely enough to everyone's fancy . Ellison ( Nellywyans And Douglas steers Rugby , who looks a bit weedy , And there smiles our Small as he sits kicking Phoebe , The Forresters twain both think themselves smart , They'd be better , I ween , if they drove in a cart .

Gilbert Merryman From Chorley Green to Buckley Hill Job Trotter + ** mrs Bunbury miss Plummyki Sonalls Harid Miss Monk will bear bravely the fat legs and tummy Of her volatile burden now styled Capting Plummy ; The Turkey's unfit , but he'll have to go , Else Mickey will wollop him hard don't - cher - know . Jena , Claude and the Colonel we sigh for in vain , Unavoidable causes all them did detain ; Pompey , too , pines in his stall for our Noel , As he pensively rubs his last taste of the rowell . Four miles and a half was the distance to go , And the pace just at first was uncommonly slow ; But Santa Maria would not be denied , So she went to the front and to catch her we tried . A boggy take - off proved too much for Defiance , And Small showed a want of his usual good science , For too much to the right at the brook he did tear , And Phoebe lay on him with her heels in the air . Nell Gwynne on the left frightened all by the row She made smashing the railings into the plough ; Plummy fell off at the last fence of all , While the Turkey and Rugby were scarce able to crawl . All were pleased that De Laski was first to get in , And they cheered Billy , too , who was next after him ; Goffy , of course , was not very far off , And Franco on Slosh raced him in fourth . Cheshire What everyone did I cannot describe , If I ventured on that they'd soon tell me I lied ; So to Lado's success we'll finish the bin , And hope that our turn may come next for the win . F. F.
