The Tuapeka Plate.
Honest Jim has won the Plate, Though for his cbaaees some did quake, The other nmner, what of him ? The chaoee he had was very slim. The other ranner ia the race For Hoaeat Jim did make the pace; He'll bare testifier traiaiag take—--3e doesn't wsat a blooming brake. . Though Jim is aged he must baveatrtagth Me won by over half a length; And Beer and all alike were felled; To see him beancmg home hard held. Bo thanks to yon who gave the tip, And when we meet we'll have a hip j We'll back straight runners to the end; To us mnst come a dividend; And now Tuapeka Plate is o'er, Jim's running as he did before; ■ - The other runner mast be sore— He travelled twice Tuapeka o'er.. *Z\ BWNS. f' Baraeoleagb.
