    Tommy on the clay here!  Tommy on the clay! 
    Ten to one bar one!  Ten to one bar one! 
    Try your luck on Spinning Jenny! 
    Ten to one bar one! 
    Sell the monkey, boys!  Sell the monkey! 
    I’ll give ten to one! 
    Ten to one bar one!

bucking MountsSkeleton horses, sceptre, maximum the second, Zinfandel,
the duke of Westminster’s Shotover, repulse, the duke of Beaufort’s
Ceylon, prix de parisDwarfs ride them, RUSTYARMOURED, leaping, leaping
in their, in their saddlesLast in A drizzle of rain on A BROKENWINDED
Isabelle nag, cock of the north, the favourite, honey cap, green jacket,
orange sleeves, Garrett Deasy up, gripping the reins, A HOCKEYSTICK at
the readyHis nag on spavined WHITEGAITERED feet jogs along the rocky

The orange lodges:  (JEERING) Get down and push, mister.  Last lap!  You’ll be home the night!

Garrett Deasy:  (Bolt upright, his NAILSCRAPED face plastered with POSTAGESTAMPS, brandishes his HOCKEYSTICK, his blue eyes flashing in the prism of the chandelier as his mount Lopes by at schooling gallop)

Per Vias RECTAS!

(A yoke of buckets leopards all over him and his rearing nag A torrent of mutton broth with dancing coins of carrots, Barley, onions, turnips, potatoes.)

The green lodges:  Soft day, sir John!  Soft day, your honour!

(Private Carr, private Compton and Cissy Caffrey pass beneath the
windows, singing in discord.)

Stephen:  Hark!  Our friend noise in the street.
