It is rather an unusual occurrence, says an English writer, to see a horse pulled out for the Grand National adorned with a hood and blinkers, but this was the case with Pan, who finished second to Ilex. His jockey, too, had taken another precaution, in the shape of a strong whip with short, curling lash, which instrument was being vigorously applied all the way up the straight. Pan’s record was so bad that the long prices laid against him are not to be wondered at, and the only lucky individual who supported the horse was a sportsman from South America, who had never been on an English racecourse before, and who expressed great faith in the curling whip as an inducement to make rogues do their best. The gentleman referred to had a nice bet about the horse for a place. Yes ! It is certainly true. Ask any o! your friends who have purchased there.
