MORE IRISH MELODIES.
The Payin' of the Eent.
Oh, have you heard the shameful news that comes from
Ireland's shore ?
The noble sun of Erin's set—and set to rise no more.
The land is filled with skulking curs, on sneaking mis-
chief bent,
Who maim the harmless cattle if their owners pay their
rent.
If honesty dares show itself, and struggles to do right,
These cowards shoot behind stone walls at feeble girls at
night;
'Tis the most disgraceful country that e'er to ruin went,
For there's a cursed law against the payin' of the rent.
{More to follow—" The Harp that Once.")
The harp that once through Tara's halls,
The soul of music sent,
Is buried 'neath the rotten walls,
Of farms that pay no rent.
PUNCH'S PRIZE MEDALS.
Medal struck in honour of the Noble Sport of Pigeon Match Shooting generally.
WHO KILLED COCK PIGEON ?
Those who journeyed to Little Chickenden yesterday,
in anticipation of witnessing the long-expected match
between Dr. Cutter and Mr. Dooit Hurtley, did so in
miserable weather. This was much to be regretted, as the
match between these magnificent pigeon-shots was looked
forward to with immense interest by a number of
pigeons. Those, however, who braved the elements were
rewarded by one of the finest and manliest contests on
record. We noticed among those present at this almost
historic tournament, Cabinet Ministers, Bishops, Diplo-
matists, all the leading members of the Society for
Suppressing Cruelty, and mo9t of our eminent philanthro-
pists, who had been attracted by the placards promising
" A Happy Day at Little Chickenden." Unfortunately,
