A RACE WITH A BULL.

We find the following capital yarn in the No
vember number of the Knickerbocker Maya
zine. 1t is more or less rich =
Some forty years ago, the members of race
course near Brownsville, on the Monongahela
published notice of race, one mile heats or
particular day. tor a purse of one hundred
dollars, ''free for any thing with four legs and
hair on"
A man in the neighborhood named Hays had
a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill
with his bag of corn, and he determined to
enter him for the race. He said nothing about
it to any one but he rode him around the track
a number of times, on several moonlight nights
until the bull had the hang of the ground pref
ty well, and would keep the right course He
rode with spurs, whice the bull considered par
ticularly disagreeable, so much so that he always
beloved when they were applied to his sides.
On the morning of the race, Hays came upon
the ground on horseback-on his bull Instead
of a saddle, he had dried an ox-hide, the head
part of which, with the horns still on, he had
placed on the bulls rump. He carried short
tin horn in his hand. He rode to the judges
stand, and offered to enter his bull for the race
but the owners of the horses objected. Hays
appealed to the terms of the notice, insisting
that his bull had four legs and hair on, and
therefore he had right to enter him. After a
good deal of swearing the Judges declared
themselves compelled to decide that the bull
had the right TO run, and he was entered ac-
cordingy
When the time for starting arrived, the bull
and the horses took their places. The horse
racers were out of humor at being bothered with
the bull, snd at the burlesque which they sup
posed was intended, thought that il would be
over as soon as the horses started.
When the signal was given, they did start.
Hays gave a blast with his horn, and sunk his
spurs into the side of the bull, who bounded
off with terrible bawl at no trihing speed, the
dried OK hide tapping up and down and rat
Ting at every jump. making a combination Of
noises that had never been heard on a race
course before. The horses all few the track,
every one seeming to be seized with a sudden
determination to take the shortest cut to get out
of the Redstone county, and none of them
could be brought back in time to save their dis
lance. The purse was given to Hays.
A general row ensued, but the fun of the
thing put the crowd on the side Of the bull
The horsemen contended that they were swim

That mad wag, Prentice, says tall gentlemen
are always successful, because the ladies are all

Serpents, they say, have power to charm. Eve

Constant companionship is not enjoyable, any

sit too long at the table of friendship when we
out-sit our appetite for each others thoughts.

the glow and freshness of the heart.

for Hays horn and OK hide, which he ought not
to have been PERMITTED to bring upon the
ground, the thing would not have turned out as
it did.
Upon this Hays told them that his bull could
beat any of their horses any how, and il they
would put up one hundred dollars against the
purse he had won, he would take off the ox-hide
and leave the in horn, and run fair race with
them. His offer was accepted and the money
staked. They again took their places at the
starting post and the signal was given. Hays
gave the bull another touch with his spur, and
the bull gave tremendous below. The horses
remembering the dreadful sound, thought all
the rest was coming as before. Away they went
again in spite of all the exertions Of their riders
while Hays galloped his bull around the track
again and won the money.
