GEN: Jingle Bells trivia

[Nancy Hall <NPHHALL@AOL.COM>]

Sorry I neglected to add my email address on the previous posting

Hi LM-Netters,

In the song Jingle Bells, What does "two-forty for his speed" mean?

Get a bob-tailed nag
Two-forty for his speed

Someone asked our music teacher and I'm hoping you all can answer this one.
TIA. Nancy
