generation Of ponies in the abovc-nalncd
places arc not bridle-wiso in tho
least. Texas, particularly tho Pan
Handle district, Indian Territory and
some portions OF Colorado and
Now Mexico arc still good folds from
which selections can be made. The best
ponies, from point of desirability, are
obtained beyond the Red river in Mcyi-
co, but the disposition of these upon ar
rival iii Now York prccludcs their use
fulncss. Ponies with tho best DISPOSE
yions are found among the Indian tribes,
from the fact that the colts are brought
up and handled around the camp; the
mares, as rule, do the hard work.
The requisites of 1rst-class COW
pony are those of polo pony. This
can not be taught him unless no has an
object in view such as 4 cow or steer.
Ponies that are bridle-wise on one side
only are SO from the fact that they
have been in the hands of one cowman
for long while who was either right or
left-handed IS the case may be, or from
the fact of his always using one hand to
carry tho whip or .Nuirt" In this con-
nection it Is gratifying to know that
the practice OF giving each cowruan a
twelve to fourteen-foot cattle whip has
become obsolete. and he has now the
end OF his lasso or whip two feet in
length known as ''quirt." The long
whip was in too active use, consequently
the horses and cattle were worried and
driven too much.

Especial Correspondence


Some interesting and valuable facts
in relation to polo ponies, where they
are raised and procured. were obtained
not long since by the writer from one of
the most prominent pony-raisers in this
country.
Polo was introduced into the United
States about 1878, through the agency
of James Gordon Bennett. Oliver Iselin,
Schuyler Crosby, Delancoy Kano and
others.
The first ponies were procured with
out very careful selection at San An
tonic. Tex, and upon their arrival hero
many of thcm broke their neclls in be-
ing haltcr-brolon, and in various other
ways proved unsatisfactory. In short
time it YVES thought best to raise tho
standard height of polo ponies from
thirteen hands two inches 10 fourteen
hands, and later another inch was added,
making the present standard of four
teen hands ono inch, which is lust
under tho Wcstchestcr Polo Club rules,
the object being to get q horse with lows
motion and great strength of back, so
as to cary weight we'll and at the same
timo be Of good size. From tho fact
that in late years only n few of tho
largo number of ponies shipped to tho
East have been retained by polo clubs,
particular attention has been paid to
speed. An outcome of this is the PONY
Racing Association recently formed.
The inaugural meeting of the associa-
ton was held at Meadow Brook, Long
Island, in June last. Old ponies, as a
class, are not particularly handsome
animals, by reason of their coming from
tho plains where they arc exposed to
the chilling blasts of tho winter, scant-
lily fed and generously branded. Tho
experienced polo player has but one OBJ
jcct when mounted on his pony in a
game and that is to got there" hence,
very littlo attention is given to tho
color, brand marks or appearance.
Tho ago of first-class polo pony
ranges from six to ton years, ard he
must possess low action, his mouth must
be like velvet, his temper good. he must
be quick rs fash in movement and
willing to throw himself five feet to
the right or left by tho simple pressure
OF tho rein upon tho neck. 4 pony of
this description can he found only in tho
plains country of the South and West,
where cattle arc held on the open range
These ponies in times past wcrc found
in large quantities in Kansas, and later
in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
Owing to the face That today the cattle in
Kansas arc held within Enclosures, and
