-To one acquainted, witn George
Seott's quiet disposition it is with
surprise that we learn that he fans a
fancjrfor' race4 horses. He 'has par
chased an old ringer that was taken
under a contract to pull a baggy over
sandy roads at a2:37 gait, and that is
gaaranteed to do-this little trick un
der aay condition of roads or weather.
George being of a somewhat credu
lous disposition is disposed to believe
that the animal can do all its former
owners claimed for it. He hasn't the
heart to make the animal travel under
(the clock. In returning from Platte
Center last Saturday afternoon, hia
natural pride for. the fine animal he
was driving, ' brought- him no small
humiliation. The Journal editors
were driving a team of western bron
chos, and were spiaaing along the pike
at; very lively. clip when George
was'discovered jast a little in advaaoe
lot a cloud of 'dust hitting that so-
called 2:37. The bronchos didn't just
like the patronizing air of the driver
of the aristocratio equine, and began
to shuffle it off at a pace that soon
convinced George that his old ringer
ooalda't make good,tim oa the con
tract speed. To add to the sport Gar
ret Heist came tearing down the pike
I with aa old raeaaiatio livery team
and passed the whole crowd. -That
liveryman woafcrat now take a
thousand for that team. He says thev
are for, sale for $5,000 and that he will
