Competitors for this prize may crawl around and look through them free of charge, if they desire it. They will be found to possess as many virtues as any auger holes. For the most splendid essay on Female Suffrage the Third prize, consisting of that splendid piece of property known as Lafayette Park, is offered. This beautiful park lies out toward Compton Hill, and is tastefully laid out in walks, and bridges, and holes in the ground, and piles of dirt, and has neat legible signs to tell you where the grass is when there is any there. The iron fence around it is a gem in itself.
Few people can contemplate it without emotion, and nobody can climb it without stilts.
Lafayette Park would cut up handsomely for city lots, and bring enormous prices. The winner of the Third prize will be awarded it. The diversion he will experience in trying to get possession of the property, must be a fortune in itself, and will afford him the liveliest entertainment as long as he lives. This moral lecture on the Sandwich Islands, which I am going to deliver, is a separate institution all by itself, and is not connected with any other circus.
