An Old CaInpaigner Gone

The old trotter "Gien. Hancock, which
has been as familiar sight on the race
tracks of this section for the past fifteen
or twenty years, as is his driver, Capt. "
Reed and his linen duster, has gone the
way of all good horses.
Gen. Hancock was owned by Capt.
Chapman, of North Bucksport. The
horse has won many purses. He was a
wonder in many ways. 1t is said of him
that many times he has done hard fore
noon's work hauling wood, and on the
same afternoon appeared on the race
track and out-stepped the well-kept beau
ties, and the next day resumed his work
on the farm.
He has won more real red hot races
after he vas twenty one years OF age,
than any horse that has ever paced race
track. Eight years ago he made the rec
ord of 2.34$4 on the Belfast track, after he
had passed mis- twenty second year.

expenses ought to be and could be fur
