Ko sound dfstnirbed the peaoe- (olinais of tlM nsaaUy stirring viin^e ot Mark- dale save now and again the Hot too distant eUagKdang of one or more cow bells upon the mild-eyed kine belonging to some of onr village ooancilmen, or the plaintive bleating of a berd of Darover Shield's iambs. The solitude seemed op- pngslye but 'twas not to be a thing eternal. A jpntle marmur ftrst came softly floating to the ear of the ever alert BpoftiUg Editor, who im- mediately dcmned his new plug hat, grasped his eane and sallying forth socm traced the soUHse of the gathering storm to several of our moat influ- ential young men, all of high standing in circles agricultural atlan informal meeting holding an animated discussion as to the speed trterits of their respective horses. How they talked t Clas- sic speech bow beautiful thou art when voiced by master minds. The argument, though vigor- ous and brilliant as it was, suddenly collapsed in a floorish of whole faandfuls of bills with the OoVemment flat stamped thereon. "Money talks," says John Henry. "Put up," Says Jas. W. and then a wager was made by J. W, Sproule that his recently purchased gray gelding, "Willie D," a valuable horse well-known in sporting circles, could out trot Mr. John Henry Carson's famous B. G. "Bodger," formerly called "old hundred," and a twin brother to the world re- nowned Old Eathen Allen, the first horse that ever trotted a mile under 2.20 which feat he suc- cessfully accomplished over 30 years ago. Stakes 950 a side best two in three half mile heats Willie D. to win each heat by a lead of 80 feet. Thursday afternoon last was the time fixed upon and the first sideroad down the gravel xa the place. At an early hour a vast throng had a sembled. Willie D. was the favorite and was backed by the multitude to a man against the ancient Bodger. James W.'s ecbrue and satin- Uke moustache was brushed even more carefully than usual his delicately pink and white com- plexion became mOre roseate and charmingly pinky he smiled a sweet exuberant smile, and the confidence of a Greek god good-naturedly shone forth from his Adonis-like features. John Henry never smiled; his big, genial baby-like face looked sad; lips pressed firmly together; cheeks deadly, pale a cold f ar-oS look in his eye, yet gleaming with determination hope seemed almost dead within his great ox-like heart; a cold clammy sweat stood out in great glistening beads upon his noble brow his curly golden locks were damp and disheveled and the pink wart upon the lobe of his left ear had turned to a sickening purple. As he mounted his sulky his lips for the first time moved gently as if in silent prayer. Mr. "Alac" Hannah, an expert, drove Willie D. Constable George Noble accurately measured off the half mile with a 11 foot rail. Starters, Wm. Lyons and Geo. Brown, well- known Woodstock sporting men. Time-keepers, Fi-ank Graham and Jeffrey Artley. Book-makers Wm. Armstrong and John Crone. Judges, Beeye McFarland, John Lyons and John B. Thibadeau. These gentlemen were selected as judges on ac- count of the fairness of judgment and superior knowledge of horses. The horses got a good send off and came down the half mile at ligbtninK- like speed. Old Rodger took the lead, hold- ing it to the finish, being the winner by over 30 feet. The scene changes and we now see John Benry's face beaming with a glow like that of a nigger in a Kentucky melon patch. While James W. with one quick, fierce and terrible glance of hatred at poor innocent old Rodger, then nressmg his left hand to his heart fell upon the soft grass and wept. After the weeper had wept his last weep the Sporting Editor proposed three cheers for old Bodger which the crowd heartily responded to, then lighted their telephone cigars and returned to Markdale all the better for the fun they had enjoyed.
