Equestrian {to Policeman on the look-out for a Stolen Horse). “ ‘ How did I come by ’im ? ’ Why, bred ’im myself, to be sues—

The Twenty-ninth of May
It is Oak-Apple Day,
And the far-advanced Ladies of their weapons make essay—
Though, pace the Oaks,
We might deem it a hoax,
If such strong-minded women could e’er stoop to jokes.
There’s wise Mbs. Fawcett,
How mildly she draws it!
If all’s wrong—’tis the want of the women must cause it.
Miss Cobbe, with much power,
Her wisdon can shower,
Though e’en Cobbe’s wisdom damps when it’s poured for an
hour.
Then there’s Miss Lydia Beceeb
(There ’s nothing to check her)—
The sex with such leading should keep up their pecker;
And Miss Rhoda Gabbett—
No pretty poll-parrot—
Dropping diamonds of speech, worth a million a carat.
Punch likes these dear Misses
Who dive in abysses,
Preferring (unhappy ones!) suffrage to kisses :
And hopes that no vixen
Will try to play tricks on
Their highly respectable Chairman, George Dixon I
FOUND AT EPSOM.
A Pocket-Book (on the cover a monogram of “ W. L.” over the
helmet of a Baronet), containing the following articles :—Notes for
a Speech against the Adjournment of the House of Commons oyer
the Derby Day ; Notes for a Speech in favour of the Permissive
Bill; and a small volume labelled “ The Complete Works of the late
Joseph Miller.”
A Bundle of MS. entitled “A Handbook to the Turf—a noble,
manly, distinguished, and historically-national sport—with some
remarks upon the Three Courses called Epsom, Goodwood, and
Newmarket, by an Ex-Prime Minister.”
A Letter signed “ Yours affectionately, W. H. W.,” and bearing
the Peterborough postmark, commencing “ My dear Lord Cardinal,
I should have the greatest possible pleasure in dining with you on
the Derby Day, were I not engaged elsewhere on business of the
last importance.”
A Scheme for converting the Infantry of the School-Boards into
a permanently embodied Militia, bearing the endorsement of a
noble Colonel of London Yolunteers.
A Brief inscribed “ With you the Ghicowar of Baroda.”
A Shillelagh branded “This Stick is the Property of a Home-
Ruler—Please return it to him.”
A Note-Book, bound in canvas and initialled “ B. P., R.N.,
Barrister-at-Law,” containing materials for a work to be called,
Every Sailor his Own Lawyer.
Proof-sheets of a Pamphlet entitled The Church and the House
of Lords. By a Spiritual Peer.
A long roll of paper containing a return of the profits made by
American Publishers out of Lothair, Sybil, Coningsby, Tancred,
Henrietta Temple, Vivian Grey, and other works by the same
Author. In the corner of the paper, “ Noted, B. D.”
A very dirty paper, apparently part of a weekly journal, enclosing
what feels like a vial, and directed in a loose, and scarcely legible
hand, “ Dew Drops from a Lion’s Mane.”
And, lastly, a strong oaken cudgel, labelled Punch.
N.B.—Any of the above articles (inclusive of the last) may be
obtained at 85, Fleet Street, on personal application.
