lers all shoutin and hurrain like the
very old Harry had broke loose.
The fool of a horse was SO scared
that he made two or three jumps fore
he made up his mind which way he
was gwine; and by the time he got
fairly under way, Tom was more than
half way to the stake. Tom grabbed
the stake with one hand and swung
round it thout stopping, while the horse
dashed past as hard as he could tare.
and fore Pete could stop him and git
him turned round, Tom was half way
back agin. Pete put on the whip like
his life was at stake; but it was all no
use. Tom jumped over the line with
loud neigh of triumph, and his groom
had him by the collar and was rubin
him down fore Pete got near the mark
but by this time he had got his horses
Eclipse blood up to sich pitch, that he
cum moustrous near never being able
to stop it gin at all. Away went Pete,
rite through the crowd, jerkin and pullin
at the rains, and rippin and cussin like
mad man. Way he went rite into
Squire Rogers's lot, down round the
house, through the horse lot, and into
the old field, as hard as he could tare,
with whole gang of dogs after him,
settin the ducks and geese hoppln
and fyin and squeakiu, and the chick
ens.a cacklin in every direction, while
the fellers shouted and yelled louder
than ever, altogether maxim racket
enutf to skeer the best behaved horse
in the world out of his senses; and the
fust thing Pete knowd, he was landed
slap into the worst kind of mud hole,
with his trouses busted all TO flinders,
and his face all peeled like he'd been
dragged through brush fence by the
heels.
The way Pete was mad was perfect
ly larmin to the little niggers, and sich
another CROWN as the boys did set up
was never heard in PineTille. Tom
offered 10 make it more interestin and
run him agin, but Pete sed he was per-
fectly disguised, and cussed himself all
to pieces for degradin a three-miIe
horse in such race
After that nobody ever seen Pete's
crack nag takin its airins about town
in its blanket What ever became of
it nobody knows; but I know Pete
never had nothin more to say about
blooded horses or horse racin-more
specially when Tom StalIins was in the
crowd.
