A GREAT HORSE 



What Cresceiis might have done is a matter of 

 speculation. Had the race been called at about 3 o'clock 

 when the sun was at its height, and had there been a 

 contender all the way, Cresceus would have trotted 

 much faster than he did. Perhaps he would have wrest- 

 ed the crown from The Abbot, for he never appeared 

 more fit for a fast mile.
