RHYMING RICHARD—BeII's Life.
For that man must be made up of malice and venom
Who won't find a sweet rhyme for the Lassie of Henham ;
And his heart must be cold as the ice of Lake 'Wenham,
Who feels no warm throb for the Lassie of Henham.
A health to all lasses, may each of us ken 'em,
And find them as kind as the Lassie of Henham.
Rhymes trip up each other as fast as I pen 'em,
On such a fair theme as the Lassie of Henham.
But is there no danger ? Whilst paying our court
A Rap on the knuckles may shorten our sport ;
Or perhaps, by not carefully watching the premises,
We may leave the back door peeping open for Nemesia.
Too true—yet the danger I fear is a nearer one,
And the favourite's backers may find it a dearer one.
You may think him a mean-looking kitchen utensil,
Yet don't make too recklessly free with your pencil ;
Don't play, 1 implore you, the goose with the Gridiron;
Will Day may yet make him as hot as a skid-iron ;
• And, unless human eyes are addicted to lying,
The Gridiron's fit—if the fish is worth frying.
AUGUR—Sporting Life.

In selecting half a-dozen as a lot against the field, I
think the following most likely to furnish the winner :
Asteroid, Confectioner, Henham. Lass, Tho Roe, Mutineer,
and Limeflower. For reasons which I have stated Came-
rino is not included; therefore I must, in again reducing
them, stand by my selections of October 9

Asteroid and The Roe.
The only other I consider at all likely to defeat this pair is
Limeflower, th© one recommended as the then best outsider
in my last.
