I have found the following lines, written after the race, by Mr. W. Philpotts Williams:—
THE SENATORS’ RACE, 1891.
The Mace and the Speaker are left for to-day,
Both Tories and Rads. come to witness the play.
The laws of debate, and the questions and bills
Are cast to the winds on the Staverton Hills,
And Commons and Lords, with the men of the Chase,
All join in the fun of the Senators’ Race.
In the place of the Speaker the man with the flag
Gives the office to go with his piece of red rag;
