Now Walter Cockerill won on “guitar”;
Some lass from Herkimer sad took her seat
Because from “arrogance” she dropped an “r”;
Teresa Schmidler made that word complete.
Next Gertrude Talbot spelled the word “musician,”
And Oscar Severns, ditto, “statistician.”
Pierce Hickey now scored perfect on “sebaceous”;
“Sapphire” was won by Agnes Butterfield.
Sam Guise went down before the term “cetaceous”—
Some thought a-purpose to vacate the field.
