Runaway Team.

John Holloway has in his possess
sion one of the equine race inclined
to practice gymnastics, and no doubt
would be an acquisition to the Hippo
drome. On last Saturday, while a
team was standing hitched to a wag-
on in his stable, one of the horses
was startled by the cracking of Il whip
and started to run. in passing out of
the stable the wagon struck the side
of the door facing, and entering the
street ran against an empty wagon,
the gray horse jumping into the vehi-
Gle and remaining in it until he was
dragged some forty feet, when the
wagon he was taking an airing in was
overturned, hurting him to the
ground, and ending in a fall which re-
suited in Commissions Of considerable
extent. We are glad to say he will
make good recovery, and is sadder
if not wiser horse.
