_February 28, 1812._ _Plucking a Spooney._--A promising young 'spooney,' according to the artist's view, is entering on life's dangers--represented pictorially in three subjects which are hanging over the head of the victim: 'the fair sex--drinking--and gaming,' being the evils set down to avoid. The novice is evidently well advanced on the downward route, and has fallen among experienced professors of the plucking process. A gaily-dressed lady by his side, a 'decoy duck,' of captivating exterior, is beguiling the senses of the self-satisfied dupe with various familiarities; while a smug stout person, dressed like a parson, is discreetly keeping up the spirit of the affair by filling the glasses and manufacturing fresh supplies of punch, which the 'spooney' is imbibing freely and without regard to the consequences. A pile of gold and notes has been laid on the table by this very innocent pigeon, and opposite to him sits the crafty and accomplished 'rook'--a captain, from his 'keeping'--who, by a skilful manipulation of the cards, assisted by the carelessness of the simple young _roué_, bids fair to succeed in leaving the pigeon 'without a feather to fly with;' the plunder to be apportioned amongst the hopeful triumvirate in whose company the youth has the misfortune to find himself. _March 1, 1812._ _Catching an Elephant._ Published by T. Tegg (146).--Two attractive and winsome damsels, standing outside a portal labelled 'Warm Baths,' have just succeeded in capturing an elderly colossus of a man, whose bulk should fairly entitle him to take his place amongst elephantine monsters; the expression of his senile features is designed to carry out the resemblance. _March, 1812._ _Description of a Boxing Match between Ward and Quirk for 100 Guineas a side._ Published by T. Rowlandson, 1 James Street, Adelphi. _March 2, 1812._ _Spanish Cloak._ Rowlandson del. Published by T. Tegg (39).--A superior officer, going his midnight rounds of the sentries posted on a line of fortifications, is amused at discovering the phenomenon of two pairs of legs below one cloak. A trooper has taken advantage of his ample garment to smuggle in a fair companion to share his vigils. The lady seems to enjoy her situation.
