SEA SPRAY &P SMOKE DRIFT 



And Western was there, head and tail in the 

 air, 

 And Pondon was there too — what noodle 

 Could so name a horse ? I should feel some 

 remorse 

 If I gave such a name to a poodle. 



In and out of the lane, to the racecourse 

 again, 



Craig's pony was first, I was third. 

 And Ingleside lit in my tracks, with the bit 



In his teeth, and came up "like a bird." 



In the van of the battle we heard the rails 

 rattle, 

 Says he, " Though I don't care for shunning 

 My share of the raps, I shall look out for 

 gaps, 

 When the light weight's away with the 

 running." 



At the fence just ahead, the outsider still led, 



The chestnut play'd follow my leader. 

 Oh ! the devil a gap, he went into it slap. 



And he and his jock took a header.
