of Tickle-Toby, and I'ickle-Toby stopped very 

 short ; but I thought part of his head passed the 

 winning-post before Traveller's. The shout was, 

 Traveller won ! and a yard by the winning-post. 

 I believe Traveller's head was clearly before Tickle- 

 Toby's ; that the people not even with the win- 

 ning-post might easily be mistaken. When I 

 got to scale, it was as I thought, Tickle-Toby 

 won ; and my giving Traveller great time to come 

 back to scale, the other riders had weighed. I 

 got into scale, and the man that weighed us said 

 to me, " You weigh third." I said, " I was se- 

 ^' cond." The man immediately took me by the 

 arm to pull me out of the scale, saying, " You 

 " shall not weigh if you don't weigh third." 1 

 called to the gentlemen in the stand above the 

 scales to know if Mr. Rhodes was there, thinking 

 him the judge. When Mr. Rhodes appeared, I 

 asked him who was second. When Mr. Rhodes 

 spoke, he said Walnut ; I now saw Traveller 

 must be placed wrong. I said to the man, " You 

 " will be pleased to weigh me, and it makes no 



" difference
