30 HISTORY OF THE 



caster, which brought into competition the speed of 

 the race horse and the greyhound, A mare was 

 started, and after she had gone a distance of about 

 a mile, a greyhound bitch was let loose from the side 

 of the course, and ran with her nearly head to head 

 to the distance post, where five to four was laid on 

 the greyhound ; at the stand it was even betting, 

 but the mare eventually won by little more than a 

 head.
