Iot.
The young horse trots over Alabama
and gains VINE miles.
Next over Arkansas gains THREE
miles.
Now, through Louisiana, young
Hickory gains SIX miles, the Texas
spur being used to advantage, the old
horse rallied In vain for the last time.
Georgia is crossed by Young Hick-
ory,' head up, and tail up, gaining
TEN miles more.
In North Carolina the lash is appli-

the young colt gains ELEVEN
miles.
South Carolina is walked over by
the young horse, who gains NINE
miles more.
