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; The gallery of ladies, no longer in trouble, Have freedom to talk, which they do at the double; And everyone comes with a smile on his face, To see senators ride in the Senators’ Race. The “Heavies” in numbers are not very strong, But good in the choice of Muntz, Bentinck, and Long; The “Lights” have a favourite in Lees, who can show His Dorsetshire horse is a nailer to go. Two years in succession they fought for a place, And pulled off the Stakes in the Senators’ Race. They’re off! is the cry; the shouting is loud; And Pease’s good grey leads the galloping crowd, A head like a lady’s, an eye like a deer-- A sweet combination of courage and fear, From the start to the finish it looks like “a case” For the man on the grey in the Senators’ Race. Away for the brook, and away for the hill, The Lights and the Heavies are galloping still, And still we can see in the acres of grass, Each trying his best his companions to pass. The hill in the distance, the flag at the base, Is the course they have marked for the Senators’ Race. Back over the valley comes Pease and his mare, And wins a good race with plenty to spare; And Long and Lord Henry fight for the lead, The former comes up at the best of his speed, But the latter pulls off at a galloping pace The Heavyweight Prize in the Senators’ Race. A man who can follow the horn and the hounds, And ride to the chase with its musical sounds, Is made of the stuff that the country requires, And always has points that the country admires. With other great nations we’ll ride for a place, Still led by the men of the Senators’ Race. The result of the race was-- 1. Mr. A. E.
