[THE IMPARTIAL.]
A BOAT-RACE SKETCH.
I
Her lightness of spirit half dashed by the "blues"—
With cheers in her heart for the crew who are winning,
While tears fill her eyes for those fated to lose.
If you'll narrowly watch, 'mid the noise and contention,
You'll note, as her Arab paws proudly the dust,
A deftly-twined bouquet of speedwell and gentian
Beneath her white collar half carelessly thrust!
