WRONG DOPE

Neddy AH But Goes To Sleep

(Frpm ;'N;Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) ' There is a pacer In Auckland , with plenty of the necessary, but 'lacking m the headpjece; and a dog . on the mark. "^J Z. TRUTH" recently -heard that it * was expected to trot one off because an obliging chemist had provided something to quieten it down. .The. only fly m \ tKe amber was whether the quietening . process had been overdone, for previously the quadruped referred -to had ' done the circus stunt from stable to course. 'On this occasion it was as quiet. as a sheep.

When it came to racing, ye gods . it went- to sleep, and at one of the bends it appeared as though it wanted to lie down. There was no questioning the strength of that "tonic."

It is stated there was another go later, but the gee-gee was still In the land of Nod and from the manner m which It placed Its feet, appeared to have four-wheel brakes on.

It was evidently a costly experiment, for a few quldlets were done on the tote, and m future* "Tr v uth" voices the opinion, that the surest and cheapest way to quieten it at the post will be with a. gun. • ~ ; , •
