JAS. A. OWENS trotting horse,
"Lunkhead" is matched for two
mile race, to buggy, with Flying
Dutchman, of Boscobel, at an early
day, for purse of 5000. To the
unprofessional horseman who esteems
it of Importance that Il horse should
be able to make good time for long
distance and draw an ordinary con-
veyance, there is much more interest
in a trial of this kind, than in the
usual race for a short distance, with
a rig that is of no use for any other
purpose.
