JACK FROST'S LECTURE
OR, A
A. SKETCH FOR ME SKATERS.
In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square,
Stanes Skater's Hall— a very fine affair.
And here, for years, while many a form has shivered,
Jack Frost his annual lecture has delivered.
So being fond of skates, as well as rhymes
(For poets condescend to skate at times),
I Purposed that 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. tut 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 with tingling toes;
4,11 d wishing all to know what there I heard,
I copied down the lecture, word for word.
L'ad'es and Gentlemen," said Master Jack,
" I Chiefly dwelt on skates a twelvemonth back ;
ut 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.
-lave and SON, who charge a moderate price,
-"eve 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 orskating•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.

The Two First Divisions averaged 221. per cent. on the Premiums
paid. The Third, 281. per cent. The FOURTH Bonus, declared
January, 1847, averaged rather more than 361. per cent. ; and from
the large amount of Profit reserved for future appropriation, and
other causes, the Bonuses hereafter are expected to exceed that
amount. .
