There are number Of people in the city

Dc Hart has very much the appearance of a
countiyman, and tries to pass for such, but is,
in reality, Jockey. He has practced several
games OF deception to victimi1c tho innocent.
One Is to pretend that ho is drunk, and say
he wants to trade his pony for larger horse,

and that he Is too small Tor his work.
If any one offers him trade he or his COM
panions who are working with him, will try
To get up bet by trOtting horse TO horse, or
having Dc Hart trot his pony against time,
for, he says, the man he got tho pony from
told him that he could trot a mile In three
minutes, and that II he should bet any money
on 1t and lose he would pay him back The
pony seems to be educated to the business, for
he always seems to look at his worst when De
Hart Is trying to play one of his games
When he shows his speed no does nothing but
pace and run, but woe be TO the man who bets
his money against him, for It Is surely lost, rs
the pony has public record of 2:26.
Another Of his games is to lind some one
havinga hundred or two hundred dollars.
saying that he is broke, he tells this victim
how easily he can double his money with
tho pony, gets the money from him to make u
