Uncle Peter an inyeterate horse-dealer,
was one day called upon by an amateur Of
the 'equine" in search of something fast.
There said Uncle F., pointing TO an ami
NAL in meadow below the house; there,
sir, is a mare yonder who would trot her
mile in two minutes and twenty seconds
were it not for one thing.
Indeed said the amateur
Yes, continued Uncle Peter; she is four
years old this spring, is in good condition,
looks WE'LL and is n first class mare; and
she can go mile in 2:20, were it not for
one thug.
Well, what is that?was the query,
That mare answered Uncle Peter is in
every way good piece Of property she
has heavy name, switch tail, trots fair

why she can't go a mile in 2.20.

then? cried the amateur, impatiently.
The distance is too great for the time
