The Straw Ride.

The straw ride now is just the thing;
Along the road you bump.
You vince when gay mosquitoes sting,
And call yourself chump.
You sneeze and snuffle as you ride,
Take dust into your craw;
And almost perforate YOUR hide
On ragged bits of straw.
You jolt along eight miles from town
And try to think it bliss
And maybe, as the moon goes down.
You get Il hasty kiss.

Match races at Newmarket had be.

Match at Newmarket had be-
come common, and Basto, one Of the
earliest horses of whom we have any
authentic account, Won several match

then had to win the best out of four
or five heats, and races were from
four miles and more and provided the
said winner was not distanced in any
one hcat-the distance post being one
furlong from the winning post.

1879 an act was passed to prevent
racing ponies and weak horses, which
also prohibited prizes or plates of less
value than $3.50. At this period the
best horses seldom ran more than five
or six times, there scarcely being any
plates of note except royal ones;
moreover. as the races were run in
heats, best three out of four, over n
course of several miles i'm length, the
task set the horses before winning a
