We sent our turf reporter to a soiree recently,
and here is the way he did up the first overture
We spare readers the rest, with the assur-
ance that that reporter now laments the day he
was born.
The overture LIE Cheval de bronze" galloped
off on a bronze horse in handsome style, but the
young equestri ennes not being accustomed to
the gait soon curbed the fiery steed to more
steady and delightful canter But this pace soon
grew tiresome to the winged Pegasus OF music
and he exhibited his impatience by sundry cur
vettings and shyings which came near unseat-
ing his fair riders. A free use however of the
baton in the hands of an experienced Jockey
soon brought him down to a smooth and gentle
pace which was very enjoyable.

Which bore aloft the musiC-loying SOUL,
AS though fioated on the wings of angels.
Around these fairy forms, divinely fair,
The music-laden zephyrs played, and
Softly toying, sweetly seemed to kiss
The abundant wealth of flowing tresses.
