A FEW GUESSES ON THE LIVERPOOL RACES,

The Produce this year, if I rightly ((trete],
Will he won by Mr. Mostyn'S bay colt .• Brunel."
Then comes a Match, in nhirh " April Noddy"
Will come in the fit st, for a hunper of toddy.
The Bicker:gaffe Stakes, just a mile o'er the flat,
Ought to fall to the lot of '• all round:my-Hat.
Then thllows the Seton, in which t;utlicley's" Emma"
Will skew as the winner, hat a dilemma.
Then for the Mersey, it' you're well off for soap,
I.ay it on thick on R. (limit's " Hope."
For the Chesterfield StAes back the c,lt by Sheet Anchor,
Who ought to be first, for they say he's a spanker.
I must now make u pause— nay, I'd better give up,
For 1 scarcely date venture to guess at the cup;
For I don't think the favourites are likely to aM,
So I'll ).ick out another to risk aid]: my tin ;
And here goes at randtm, 31r. Cook 1 give you joy,
And think you a ill win with What,"—no.—with Tru boy."
Now, had I thousand—en the Foal—l'd advance it,
I will pro‘e a walk over fur Lord Wesminster's "Lancet"
The Handicap (Derby) the judge will decide, is
Gain'd by Lord Fglington's nag " Aristides;"
In ha f-an-hour after you will then knoe,
1 he Free Handicap is gain'tl by " Benbow."
For the Knowsley Dinner, Mr. Jaques's " Advice,"
think very likely to etme in for a slice
1 hen after the dinner, and I hope lots of cheer,
The I.eger will go to the famous" lied Deer,"
The Grosvenor Stakes, I ant sure you'll agree,
Ought to go to" The Best of the Ten or of three.
