ALPIIABET ON THE CAMBRIDGEHIRE

STAKES.
A stands for Admiral, all in the rear;
B's for Backbiter, whom no one need fear.
C's for old Chanticleer—good un to go;
With Cossack, Cosachia—very so-so.
D's for the Dart, who may run thro' the sky,
With Dacia, the mare that is certain to fly.
E's for Executor, sou of Voltaire,
Better than Egremont, lightest weight there.
F for the Fiddler, whose weighted the same
As G for Glendower, a far better name.
H is for Hope, tho' I fear there is none.
I stands for lodine, not going to run.
J's represented by only Big Jerry;
K by Keraun, who is shocking bad, very.
L looks like Lanesborough (Irish pot);
M stands for Meaux, the best of his lot.
N is for Newcourt, who once was a " stunner;"
And 0 for Miss Orbell, a certain non-runner.
P is for Poynton, and Paladin too—
No horse in the race begins with a Q.
Radulphus has lost as many a race
As Surplice has won, the champion in pace.
T's for Tophana, a very light weight;
And U's for Ulysses, who'll share the same fate
As Vampyre, a thing which I trust won't appear,
But Vanish, because it will frighten a Seer.
Wanota's too heavy; there's no X to run;
While Yardley's too bad, and Z there is none.
Not yet of the winner, have I ever made mention,
So now I request your most earnest attention.
My first's Geraldine, tho' well whipp'd and spared,
With Dacia second, and Chanticleer third.
Yours, &c., HORSE•PICK.
