An Englishman of the eyer-serious
sort walked into the Office of a New
York liyeryman and asked to see the
finest trotter he had for sale,
Il don't care about price, insisted
the Blitisher. but ii must be very,
very fast horse"
The liyeryman explained that he
had a horse whose speed could only
be shown at night when the roads
were clear,
Meet me at l o'clock tomorrow
morning at the Claremont,' he said;
Wen be in Yonkers at O'Clock and
that's going some"
Three hours later the Englishman
rushed eXcitedly into The livermans
office. u don't want the horse, puff
ed the Enslishman; Il won't have it
at ALL"
why not? He's fast" insisted the
liveryman.
but what could I do in Yonkers at
2 o'clock in the morning?" replied
