Olu rom SlumpS 1OQ2 over rom BunS- town last week on his famous faee horse, Dancy Blanks. He dismounted in front of the Cyclone office. and, coming in addressed us:
 Good morning. Whuskers. I want yer to cum out and look at this yer boss of mine. Shes a butc; 15 hands high and never lost CT race. She's got a recurd of 2;12, and will develop still greater speed in a year or so. There aint no horse in the country can tech her; there is for tune in it fur somebody I am willing to sell her cheap, an of you buy her you can throw tht2t old paper of yourn to the devil and live on the money this hoss will make for you. l will sell her for jest $750. Now, ttlr's a bargain for you"
 What in thunder do you want to sell her for if she's such O dllndy?" we asked. fidentfal tone. There has bin one of them timperance preachin fellers over to Rundown for the past two weeks, and soak my boots if he didn't get to talking about gambling and such like evils till he got me to thinking it was an awful sin And durne1 my hide if I didn't get excited tother night and pledged myself to give l. up, and, in. course, I etn't got no use for the horse new: that's why 1 war to sell her
 We thought over this thing a while, and the more we thought the more We felt like buying the horse. There was old Major Clay, who owned horse he thought couldn't be beat. What blow it would be to him if we turned his old skate down. Lushton was another who was in the habit Of blowing up an old animal which belonged to him, claiming a record of 2:13 for it, So we concluded to buy Dancy and clean out the whole gang. With her we could not only win back all the money we have lost at poker, but gratify our longing to get hunk with TNc 1 ffisa Ic lsaff he carried $700 of our money, and we had one of the trimmest looking nags that ever raised hoof.
 Last Thursday was opening day at the Snortville race track. There were fifteen entries for the mile race and only eight failed to appear. Lushton, Clay, Ever full, Crosseye. Burgin, Louder and Whis- kers were the respective owners of the seven horses that came to the track. We hired a Mttle negro boy dressed in green cap and riding whip to rush our Dancy to victory. At the stroke of the gong the horses started without break. It was neck and neck race for about 100 yards, then Clays nag took a slight lead, while Bray's held second place. At the quarter post Clays led by a length, Lushton's good second, the other horses punched in the rear-our horse leading behind. When Clay's cleared the first half mile Dancy was 300 feet behind, but still going. She was probably saving her speed for the last half. Clay's went under the wire in just 213, Bray's sec ond in 215. Our horse came in a good seventh; time, 2:4S We lost $900 on the brute, and she Is now very properly pulling old Grewsome's hearse. We sold her to him for 1885, We leave for Rum town Monday morning, and Tom Stumps will probably be in need of spiritual con- solation and temperance preaching pray CTS shortly after our arrival. h
