Old Loves for New.
(New Version of an Old Song.)
If 'tis good to be merry and wise,
If 'tis good to be honest and true,
Then 'tis good to keep on with the old "Woman,"
And carefully keep off the New:
For of honesty, truthfulness, wisdom, and mirth,
The "New Woman" shows a most plentiful dearth.
The German Derby (61,000 marks) was won at Hamburg by Baron Münchausen's Spider. The Baron has done many wonderful things in his lifetime (vide the history of his adventures), and it was a foregone conclusion that if he ran a horse at the Derby he was bound not only to win, but to make something more than his mark.
