Beeswing's most devoted bard, — 
“ I also do declare, 
A silver waggon was the prize

Thero is something quite enlivening ubout the way th° 
“ Black Diamonds ” cheer a local animal whenever it guts it*

succession that he iias honoured his native moor with u win. 
Me looked remarkably well; and like Ciinpcxhot, who 1ms now 
won upwards of £2,000 for Mr Wiinsr ran rcmnrkubly kind. 
Arribas was some pounds .j ( . form, or Murloy Hill
