THE TROTTING-JIOnSE OF AMERICA. 4(»3 



of a comiug break will be discovered by watching the head 

 and ears of the horse. The attention of the dri\ er ought 

 alwa^'s to be fixed upon the head of his horse. ]\Iany a heat 

 is lost by neglect of this matter. A driver is seen coming 

 up the stretch a length or a length and a half ahead. Both 

 tlie horses are tired, but the leading one could win. The 

 driver, however, when he gets where the carriages are, turns 

 his head to look at the ladies, or to see whether they are 

 looking at him. Just then the horse gives a twitch with 

 his ears ; the driver don't see it j up flies the trotter, and 

 the ugly, man behind keeps his horse square, and wins by a 

 neck. 



THE END.
