The first landlord, alarmed at the increasing
popularity of his rival, and understanding the
cause, wrote underneath the grim yisage Of his
Majesty; This is the real Ass.' But more
ludcrous incident Of the kind is just now told

known as the Cock but the landlord, by way
of compliment to his distinguished neighbor,
substituted the Bishop as the new sign. An
inukeeper close by, who bad frequently envied
mine host of the Cock for bis good fortune in
securing a considerable preponderaDce of visit

the sign of the Cock. The landlord with the
new sign was much discounted at bis rivals
