The Horse World tells us of pony
that is owned by gentleman near Buff
faIo, New York. Among the many
wonderful things told of him are these:
"As a general thing he will allow no
one to pass him; but one day, as he was
leisurely returning, a neighbor drove
past. The young man had to 60 short
distance. turn a square corner, and then
100 yards would bring him TO the barn.
Knowing this the pony took advantage
Of gap IN the fence, and briskly trot-
ted across lots. The man, CHANGING to
turn his head, discovered the pony trot-
ting over the meadow, and, divining his
object, whipped up his horse, much
amused at the turn of affairs. When
the pony saw the other horse was gain
ing on him, he broke into gallop, and,
with the buggy behind him, brought up
in front of the barn, the winner by
several rods, and then stopped until the
other horse came up, when, turning his
head and neighing as if in triumph he
quickly walked around to the stable. 1t
was the same pony who, one summer
day, after his return from the depot,
was taken to rake hay, proceeding not
at all to his liking. Consequently the
next morning, ON his way home, he
stopped by the way in the shade of
beech tree, where we could see his
white tail whisking the flies until he
heard the noon bell, and then sedately
came home to dinner. He is always
willing to stand at the door fifteen or
twenty minutes without hitching, but
longer than that he thinks useless. One
morning he waited as long as he con-
sidered proper, and went skimming up
the road toward the depot without his
passenger. A man chanced to be in the
lane and stopped him, otherwise the
owner would have had a morning walk,
with his carriage gone ahead.
