Hickok is elated over “ St Julien’s ” brilliant performances of the season, and stands ready to back him for a large sum against '• Maud S.” or any other trotter or pacer.

He says “St Julien ” ma3 r not beat his own record against time nor that of “ Maud S.” but that he can beat her in a race, three mile heats out of five, and will meet her at any time.
