ting Congress, while the Directors Of the Yer
mont Horse Stock Company were dining AT
Bates House on Tuesday, offered to bet ten
thousands dollars that he owned five colts,
four years old or under sired by Long Island
Abdallah, formerly called Young America,
who would beat in trotting on the race course
at the State Fair at Burlington, in Septem-
Der next, any other five colts of equal age or
any other horse in the State. He would
leave the offer for sixty days if the parties
would give him five hundred dollars. This
is probably the boldest and most liberal offer
ever made Vermont for a race of any kind.

" Young America" is owned by George @.
