Notes From   No.4, Philadelphia.
In lieu of news items this week it may be
fitting to present the following ode lnot
owed), to the readers of this column. Its
author has feelingly dedicated th  verses to
one Lester Murray, ache, it is alleged, has
an animal named Very Royal, which, it is
believed, is still running at City Park track
in New Orleans. James Horty, of No. 4, is
guilty of the following:
WHEN    VERY ROYAL VERY NEARLY
WON.
The sun shone down on the multitudes,
And the track was good and fast;
All hands seemed pitched to the highest,
A surging, seething mass,
For this was a day for the babies
Down on the City Park track,
Lester Murray's Very Royal gilding
Couldn't lose, with Martin on- her back.
The horses came into the paddock;
Seventeen of them all in line;
Very Royal, sure winner, leading,
Waiting for the call of time.
"They're Off"   And Very Royal left them;
The quarter and half; "Welt dons!"
Three o quarters-four lengths to the good
now,
And the race Is nearly soon.
Bet sohmet ohing sasmed to h'appen,
On that last quarter spin;
Very Royal dropped back to seventh,
When she was nearly in.
Oh what a sad bunch in Philly-
Tom, Oliver, Harry and Jim,
Ed, Bre, Pant and the Baron-
Even Shorty bet safe to win.
Rubber Ball Harry leost fifteen;
E-n Eans scas down with a bet-
Hot sadas that day, heteost a week's pay,
For Very Royal Is ronning yet.
