MR. BRIGG'S PLEASURES OF RACING.

No. I. MR. BRIGGS HAS BACKED HIMSELF TO RIDE A STEEPLE CHASE AGAINST HIS FRIEND MUFFINS, OF THE ST—K EXCH—NGE. HE IS GOING ROUND THE COURSE JUST TO LOOK AT THE JUMPS.

Spectator (to MR. B.). "OH NO, SIR!—THIS AIN'T THE BIG ONE. THE BIG ONE IS AFTER YOU GET OUT OF THE LANE, AND AFORE YOU COME TO THE BROOK!"

OUR ENGLISH CLIMATE.

MAY-DAY FOR THE SWEEPS.
