M FLEMING, Pink of Fashion Dress • Boot Maker to His Excellency Sir George Fergusson Bowen, Governor of New Zealand. Establishment adjoining Ross and Glcndining’s, Stafford street, Dunedin. Fleming, “Pink ” of fashion name renown’d, ’ Mid the gentle, loving, wise, profound, And whose boots adorn a thousand feet, And whose praise is sung by voices sweet. He who smooths the soles of female forms, And both charlatan and trickster scorns ; Who wise with skill in King Crispin’s art, From Symmetry’s rule cannot depart; But form the boot with elastic ease To fit, to beautify, and please. Hence around his door in Stafford street Beauty, love, wit, and talent meet, Eager for Fleming to grace their feet, While they in his sanctum take a seat. E’en the representative of the Queen Amid Fleming’s patrons may be seen ; Yes, Sir George, the centre of all news, Had oft heard of Fleming’s boots and shoes Spoke of with praise where’r he went, Therefore in haste he for the artist sent, And in language royal—nay, not proud— Spoke he his praise both free and loud. Then bade he Fleming to him draw near, While with voice of kindness, soft and clear, And with a touch of sword, swift and light, Said, “ Pink of Fashion,” I dub thee knight. Sir Knight of Crispin on the scroll of fame Henceforth shall stand thy honored name; Yes, thy boots the feet of kings shall grace, Thou leader of Crispin’s leather race ; And thy noble hall in Stafford street Shall still be filled with the elite. And here I, Sir George, do now declare— Nay, no boots but Fleming’s will I wear ; And before I leave Edina’s town, On his brow I’ll settle Crispin’s crown. Notl e of Removal NOTICE OF REMOVAL.
