JACK FROST'S LICTURE
OR, A SKETCH FOR ME SKATERS.
In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square,
Stands 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 fend of skates, as well as rhymes
(For poets condescend to skate at times),
The time arrived, and posters on the wall

hJeaucksesdhhouialdtelytture next,
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,

At length the learned lecturer arose,
While greeting hundreds, stamped with tingling toes ;
i in
lammed,
as
a vice,
.
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 'tie not, would be but useless prating.
MOSES and SON, who charge a moderate price,
Have most superior clothing for the ice.
Clothing in which all skitters 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 of 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 geed ;
And none of you, I find, have been such fiats,
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 Boots like these, in every sense first-raters,
You cannot fail is being splendid skaters ;
Besides, the leather and the make are such
Au 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 price,
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,l would assure you, Sirs,
That MOSES' sell the choicest
SKATING FURS.
I'm sure," said Jack, "that all the ladles present,
On whom I can't help looking rather pleasant,
Will patronise that Mart, whose Fur goods warm,
Protect ate fair ones from each wintry storm."
With this the lecturer politely bowed,
Amid the cheering of the assembled crowd.
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The list can be had en application, or sent
