And now as he went bowing down, 
His reeking head full low, 
7 The bottles twain behind his back 
Were shattered at a blow. 
So stooping down, as needs he must 
Who can not sit upright, 
5 He grasped the mane with both his hands. 
And eke with all his might.

John Gilpin at his horse's 
Seized fast the flowing mane, 
And up he got in haste to ride, 
Bat soon came down again.

For saddle-tree scarce reached had he, 
His journey to begin, 
When turning round his head he saw 
Three customers come in. 
HERE IT IS! 
Crandall’s latest and Best! 
THE RICHEST THING OUTS 
CRAINS DALL’S 
JOHN GILPIN. 
An Illustration of the Fine Old English Ballad, 
JOHN GILPIN’S RIDE. 
Now see him mounted once again, 
Upon his nimble steed, 
3 Full slowly pacing o'er the stones. 
With caution and good heed. 
"But finding soon a smoother road, 
Beneath his well-shod feet, 
The snorting beast began to trot, 
Which galled him in his seat. 
10 
And so he did, and won it too, 
For he got first to town — 
Nor stopped till where he had got up 
He did again get doton. 
Whereat his horse did snort, as he 
Had heard a lion roar, 
And gallop'd off with all his might, 
As he had done before. 
Aivay went Gilpin, and away 
Went Gilpin's hat and wig ; 
He lost them sooner than the first, 
For, why?—they were too big. 
This Beautiful and Interesting Toy is con¬ 
sidered by Mr. C. M. Crandall as the MASTER¬ 
PIECE of the many inventions he has thus far 
given to the LITTLE FOLKS. It is made up of 
two figures, John Gilpin—whose highly colored 
dress is specially attractive to Boys and Girls— 
and his Horse, which worthy animal performs 
a very important part in the jollity of the occa¬ 
sion. The twelve Illustrations on this Sheet are 
from photographs, greatly reduced, of some of 
the many forms into which these two figures 
can be made in illustration of the well known 
old Ballad, or independently of that. “ JOHN 
GILPIN,” with his hat on, is about IO inches 
high ; his Horse is of proportionate size. The 
hundreds of thousands of Boys and Cirls, who 
have spent many happy hours with Crandall’s 
“ Blocks,” “ Acrobats,” “ Menagerie,” and “Ye 
Hero of ’76,” will all want this, his latest inven¬ 
tion. Each Box, with JOHN GILPIN AND HIS 
HORSE, contains a Large Showbill with many 
amusing Illustrations, and with the^Ballad, 
“JOHN GILPIN’S RIDE,” Printed entire. 
Price per Box, $1.00; by mail, pre-paid, $1.35. 
Sold by Toy Dealers generally, and by many 
others. Supplied Wholesale and Retail by 
ORANGE JUDD COMP ANT, 245 Broadway, New York, 
who are the Sole General Agents. 
So, turning to his horse he said, 
I am in haste to dine ; 
' Twas for your pleasure you came here, 
You shall go back for mine.
