WRITTEN FIFTY YEARS AGO
Eugene Field, Who Made Lovers Lane
Famous, Wrote This In
1870

pleasantly reminiscent of recent
friendly little function, the scene of
which was not far distant from
Tenth and Broadway
Which I wish to remark, and my
language is plain.
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain
A certain young man is peculiar
And his name it is William II. Crane.
Which they had small game-this
William Hand
His pardner. called Robson, quite
childlike and bland.
And Robson drew two from the
pack
And held what they call full hand.
Now, Crane was possessed OF a couple
of trays
(If may make use Of a pokersome
phrase),
And yet, with a bluff unexamplied
Signified his intention to, raise.
But in raising he happened to let his
arm slip,
And gave that there table a terrible
tip,
And down from the pile, which
was Robson's,
There tumbled a 20-cent chip.
With a half suppressed sigh--for the
same never swore-
This Robson stopped down for the
chip on the floor.
And straightway did Crane inter
change
The keerds herein mentioned before.
Six bits were involved in this afore-
said case.
And silence prevailed everywhere in
the place,
And Robson was pale with emo
tion,
But Crane was becalmed In his face.
You may guess at the rest-as for
me, / do not
Intend 10 record the end of the plot !;
But this am free to aeknowl-
edge:
Mr., Crane calmly took in the pot
Which is why remark that for tricks
that are vain
No heathen Chinese can compare with
this Crane
And / reference have unto poker
Which the same i am free TO main
tain.

Every snowshoe club has its
