DEAD HEATS
In reviewing the English racing Of 1875 so far
as referring the number Of dead heats made in the
almost innumerabic events decided, the Pal Mall Ga
sette, last winter, thus discoursed:-
There few persons probably who would like to \
sail boat-to apply tho Moralan criterion OF coui
dence-wth man who can unmoved dead heat
between good horses Not that such result always,
or even generally proves that there is no moro than
pin to choose between the horses that run
the dead heat but there is tho possibility OF equality
and to that element Of interest are added conscera
tons OF another sortsheer SURPRISE admiration
