Hopeful.

The Philadelphia Ledger publishes
the following sketch of Hopeful, the
old gray horse now owned by Mr.. G,
G.. Sill of this town and tenderly
cared for. We republish the article
for the purpose of contradicting the
SANDER that Hopeful is "being bang
ed around" and to correct the state
ment that he is in New Jersey.
New York has been for years the
outlet for fast horses, and any who
come out fast on the track, and OF
the proper disposition, are soon
gobbled up by the rich Gothamites
for their pleasure, but above all
things. the horse must have the pro-
per disposition or he would not sell
at any price. A good case to Illus
trate this was in the horse Hopeful.
He was the fastest horse in the world
to a wagon, but after being retired
from the turf, and though perfectly
sound. went begging just on account
of his contemplate disposition in
the shafts. If you were driving him
on the road, going easy, and happen
ed to turn him little to one side to
pass another rig, be was off like a
pistol, and should you discover later
there was not room to get through
with the wagon, but there was room
for him. through he went and you
must take the consequences. Dan
Mace was the only man who could
drive him, and, though man of only
about lao pounds. he could stop him
anywhere. Hopeful was a small
horse, like most of our weight pullers,
but he knew as much as a man; in
fact, too much, and had about as
many pcculiarities.
When he was at the track and G
race day was on he was the first to
know it. As the people began to
congregate and he heard their voices,
the door of his stall must be thrown
open that he might stick his head out,
or he would sweat more than alter a
hard heat. With the door open he
would stand all day and look around
as unconcerned as at any time. But
it has cost him a hard lot, and we
hear of him, now "ovcr 20 years old,
being banged around in New Jersey"
