an aaecdote. of. Gen. w. aas old friend of

he did all his entertaining stories, with zest

from his stable at night and run him secretly
against their horse-if the latter won, all

of their plot. He went to his stable carly in
the night and securely fastened upon each
of Rawdon's fetlocks a bar Of lead bent t.
