Taught His Dog to Pace.

Minneapolis Journal: M. B. Scott, a veterinary surgeon of FaribaElt, s. D.. has novelty in the shape of wonder ful pacing dog. So far as is known, this is the only instance on record Of pacing dog, though trotting dog IS not unheard of, and a man named liar. ry Keteham, Canadian, once owned a trotter whom he called Doc" This dog. which was pointer, he exhibited at race-tracks and fairs all over the country He was said to have made 10000 out of the animal. Dr. Scott's dog will race against either a horse or bicycle, and seems to enjoy 1t, though he evidently regards 1t as a very seri ous matter. Gypsy. as the doctor calls him. can make very good time, and pr. Scott has speeded nm from standing start to make quarter of mile in forty-five seconds, and the first eighth in twenty seconds. When he was teaching him to pace, Dr. Scott put small string hobbies on him In order to prevent him from breaking. Gypsy paced a little before the doctor bought him, though so little as to be of no consequence; but his new master thought he saw possibilities of the dog doing better, and began a course Of careful and systematic training. until he obtained the present result. The dog is pure blooded St. Bernard and weighs 40 pounds, is three feet high, measures six feet from the tip of his bushy tail to the end of his handsome nose and is about years old. He races alone, without Q driver. and, be- sides being a very fine animal, is real curiosity.
