Bawlev always took the pole from his com
petitors. but in the long. straight finish he
could not hold out with the powerful
build Of the two horses that were after his

perior work in speed. There are few
horses on the turf that can turn with him.

received by another priest standing on
the ground in his white robe. Tho sac
rifice was then performed, and prayers
were offered to God to send o blessing

superstittons held in connection with it.

rides through the streets on an ass, and
and behaves in the most whimsical and
extravagant manner, to the great delight
of the multitude that follow him. In
this manner he proceeds from door to
door, soliciting small pieces Of money. A
similar custom is still found in various
parts of Scotland under the name of

Never chuck her under the chin and soy
