AS the Roosevelt Bears bowed left and right.
The Bears were sport from the very start;
They stopped at nothing and did each part
With such success so quick and smart
The applause rang out both loud and long
From every side of the happy throng.
TEDDY-G went up and rode the wheel
Down the incline on the rope Of steel;
While TEDDY-B at break-neck speed
Went round the ring on fiery steed.
They took the stand to box bout
But neither could knock the other out.
But the play that caused the biggest laugh
Was when .TEDDY-G on big giraffe,
And TEDDY-B on camel's hump,
Tried which could make the highest jump,
Or make the best speed around the track
From start to finish four times and back.
TEDDY-B couldn It make the camel turn
And at every round he had time to burn,
While TEDDY-G on every trip
On the slanted back couldn't get grip,
And his tumbles came so thick and fast
That the camel beat him out at last.
And thus they played for an hour or less
And then went back to room to dress
BY TEDDY-B, the lads were seen,
When the show was O. er, on Madison green.

For the work they did for them that day.
