Reading edition
THE LORDLY CECIL ENTERTAINS HIS SOVEREIGN. HATFIELD, 1573 AND 1887.
A Pretty Plate to Set Before the Queen.
"The Queen's Plates are henceforth to be devoted to improving the breed of horses."
A most wise change that sense for long has wished, But, Phœbus! how the "Platers" will be dished!
AN INVITATION.
(To a well-known Air.)
"Mr. Frederick Maude, Honorary Secretary of the 'Liberal Union,' has resigned that post in consequence of his disapproval of the attitude taken up by the leaders of the 'Liberal Unionist' party towards the leaders of the Liberal party, and of his inability to support the programme of a Tory Government."
Come back to Hawarden, Maude, For the Tory black flag's flown! Come back to Hawarden, Maude, Leave Harty and Joe alone; For the Government plainly is all abroad, And the Unionist game is blown.
A "Chef Douvres."—The L. C. & D.'s new steamer Empress.
