No matter how the wind may veer!
Will have no fear! and will not sweer! so do not jeer!!! the Volunteer!!!"
—appropriate patriotic music to which will be written by Signor CLEMENTI SCHIOTTI!
There is no racing of any importance this week, there being only a small Meeting under Pic Nic Rules, at a place called Goodwood—(I write of it in this contemptuous way, as I am not going myself)—somewhere on the coast of the Solent—to which I need not allude at any length; I will, therefore, only mention one race having been so successful lately, that I can afford to rest on my oars—(rather an insecure position by the way, for anyone who can't swim!) and remain as usual
Yours devotedly, LADY GAY.
Chesterfield Cup Selection.
To win such a race as the Chesterfield Cup,
Is a task wanting speed and endurance;
And the duty of all, ere the ghost giving up,
Is to quickly effect an Insurance."
