ANOTHER POETICAL SPORTSMAN•
AN ORDER IN VERSE.
Excuse me, gentlemen. I pray,
Addressing you in metre,
' Your own good muse, I dare to say,
Would do it rather neater.

I bought a coat a year ago,
And what it clearly shows ie,
Tblit sportsmen never should be slow
In patronising MOSES•

Yes, gentlemen, I must allow
'Twas nothing but a beauty,
And if I did not aid you now,
I should not do my duty.

I want another, if you please,
You've got my measure by you ;
And hints concerning style and ease,
I need not to supply you.

I've many friends, as you may guess,
Who love to ram a barrel,
And all their high delight express
' •At MOSES' field apparel.

My. friends, Shot, Bang, and Ramrod, too,
And likewisg Mr. Trigger,
Declare that Coats not made by you,
Would only make them snigger.

And in your prices, too, you please,
And often do we wonder,
At MOSES selling Coats like these,
For prices so much under.
t• )LOSES and SON" invite especial attention to their Shooting-
`oats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort
