TROITING TRACK FOR A PONY.
The UnusuaI Concet OF Wealthy Man In
Brooklyn.


A wealthy Brooklyn man recently built 9

surprise among his friends as the structure he
erected would have been an ornament to the
most fashionable neighborhood in the citv.

site it are number Of ramshackle frame build

a dozen families. The mans next move was to
purchase. land then tear down one of these
houses and erect a fne red brick stable In its
place. His last action, however, has stamped
him as a really eccentric character.
He purchased the coal yard behind his house,
tore down the fences, and then had the place
levelled off. Then he had small trottng track
laid out Tho remainder OF the ground he had
sodded with the finest grass obtainable, and
the whole of tho interior Is visible The trotting
track Is a most diminutive affair. but amply
large for the purpose for which II was laid out,
which is the amusement of the mans nine-year-
old son.
This lad owns pretty little Shetland pony,
which he rides like an expert, and any fine
afternoon he may be seen tearing around the
track at q great rate. The other children in the
neighborhood gather around the fence and
watch him enviously.
Occasionally no Invites one OF them In and
gives him ride around the track on his pony.
He is manly little fellow. and makes a pretty
figure with his brown leather leggiugs as he urges
on his pony. 1t Is a strange sight in what Is
recognized as one of the poorer sections OF the
city. and sometimes rs many as 200 people may
be seen watching him through the fence.
