JACK FROST'S LECTURE
OR, A SKETCH FOR I'HE SKATERS.
In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square,
Slam's Skater's Hall-- a very line affair.
And here, for years, while many a form has shivered,
Jack Frost his annual lecture has delivered.
So being fend of skates, as well as rhymes
(For poets condescend to skate at times),
I purposed I hat when Jack should lecture next,
I'd go and listen how he used his text.
The time arrived, and posters on the wall
Announced Jack Frost's address at Skaters' Hall.
So in I went, with half-a-guinea ticket,
And got a sitting, just in time to pick it.
The Hall was shortly filled to suffocation,
And every one appeared in expectation.
• But though we thus were jammed, as in a vice,
Each auditor appeared as cold as ice.
At length the learned lecturer arose,
While greeting hundreds, stamped :vith tingling toes;
And wishing all to know what there I heard,
I copied down the lecture, word for word.
" Ladies and Gentlemen," said Master Jack,
" I chiefly dwelt on skates a twelvemonth back;
But now I really think I can't do less
Than. let you know my thoughts on
SKATING DRESS.
Dress is a most essential thing in skating,
To say 'tis not, would be but useless prating.
MOSES and SON, who charge a moderate price,
Hays most superior clothing for the ice.
Clothing in which all skaters should equip,
Who wish to thaw the evils of a dip.
No fear of water giving cold," said Jack,
" With MOSES' Waterproofs upon your back.
I'm glad this amphitheatre discloses
Such qualities or skating-coats from MOSES.
I see," said Mr. Frost from where he stood,
"You're like the Lord Mayor's Fool—you know what's good
And none of you, I find, have been such flats,
As not to purchase MOSES'
SKATING HATS.
Yes, Skating Hats —you'll understand the term,
Fitting, elastic, waterproof, and firm;
The qualities on which I'm now dilating,
Are strongly tested in the sport of skating.
Added to these, you need, in such pursuits,
Those valued needfuls—MOSES'
SKATING BOOTS.
With Roots like these, in every sense first-raters,
You cannot fail in being splendid skaters ;
Besides, the leather and the make are such
As any gentleman would value much.
No penetrating snow, no drenching damp
Can find access to give the feet the cramp.
I've also thought of many things worth stating,
Concerning MOSES'
HOSIERY FOR SKATING.
Of course you know, that for a moderate pricev
You'll get those choice etceteras for the ice ;
MOSES and SON supply the very best
Of Neckerchiefs and Gloves, and all the rest;
And, furthermore, I would assure you, Sirs,
That MOSES' sell the choicest
SKATING FURS.
I'm sure," said Jack, " that all the ladies present,
On whom I can't help looking rather pleasant,
Will patronise that Mart, whose Fur goods warm,
Protect the fair ones from each wintry storm."
With tills the lecturer politely bowed,
Amid the cheering of the assembled crowd.
E. MOSES. and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
tear low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The lint can be had on application, or seal
