The Sutton family Is especially pleased
over the receipt of some verses which
were mailed by some unknown friends or
the family from Wimbledon, where Miss
May won the English championship from
Miss Kate Douglass. The verses are en-
titled Lawn Tennis at Badminton.' and
the writer says they are "a parody on the
popular song. Maud. Maud, Maud ="
which the English are alleged to be sing
ing strenuously. These are the words:
There is a lady from over the way,
From the West of the great L. S. A.
Drive, volley and service
With puzzling curve is
To her but the merest child play;
The name Of this lady is May;
She studied out West. so they say;
Some wish they could slaughter
The tutor that taught her
Such quite irresistible play!
o May. May. Mayl May!
The girl from the great U. s A,
She makes the white -siazenger5
Lightning passengers
Slaves that her Will must obey.
With muscular force
That outrivals the horse
And the dash OF a light cOryphee-
She aspires like her nation,
To lick all creation.
Does May. May. May.
So great is the, splash she has made
That the Gear has requested her aid;
So the mutinous rover
Potemkine gave
And Linevitch ventured a raid
Why look at the Wimbledon standi
1t was hit by a drive from her hand
Not a stick S remaining.
And Palmers complaining
Miss Sutton costs more than the band!
May, May, May
The girl from the great L. S. A,
They say that Doherty
Is getting quite shorty
At seeing one else make hay!
She mocks at the sun.
And until she has won,
The thunder keeps out OF the way:
For its volts joke
When compared with the stroke
OF May May. Mayi
