THE LATE ROBERT BONNER.
the later years of his life to the study
of the horses foot--a subject about
which he undoubtedly knew more than
any other man living or dead, and he
practically founded the New York
Ledger, which he made one of the
most profitable weeklies of the world.
Born in Ireland in 1924, he came to
this country in 1889. Entering print
ing office In Hartford, he learned the
printing trade, and then went to New
York, where he worked as proofreader
and assistant foreman In the office of
The Mirror. His dexterity in setting
display advertisements secured him
position on The Merchants Ledger,
and when the owner failed Bonner
bought the paper. For two years he
| published 1t as a commercial weekly
| but he had ambitions, and he decided
| to make 1t paper for general reading.
| He employed Fanny Fern, then ris-
ing and popular writer, to contribute to
| The Ledger. He paid her the unpre-
cedented price Of $100 column and
| began his unique plan of advertising
| by publishing a part Of the first In
| stallment of the story in a number of
| papers, with the statement that the
remainder of the romance could be had
only In The Ledger. The effect was
magical The Ledger grew and thrived
as no publication had ever grown be-
fore. He employed the best story
writer's and paid the highest sums for
| novels. Perhaps Norwood" a story
| by Henry Ward Beecher, for which the
famous divine was paid a fabulous
price, was more thoroughly advertised
than any other story that ever ran in
The Ledger. But "Capitola; or, The
Hidden Hand" by Mrs. Southworth
and "The Gunmaker of Moscow" by
Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., were by far the
most popular of the stories published
and they were repeated several times
1t was the custom In The Ledger'i
palmiest days never to issue any of it'
serials In book form. Mr.. Bonner wal
always very careful about his stories
and in fact all contributions to Th'
Ledger. He would not even allow thu
marriage of cousins In any story tina
was published in his paper
Joseph Harper, of Harper & Bros.
Commodore Vanderbilt, General Gran
and many other eminent men whit
loved horses as he did for the pleasure
they gave them became fast friends
and for years he and hig rig wer'
well known on the handsome drives II
and about New York. His study of tn
horses foot was most exhaustive, ant
he gave himself up to its pursuit al
most entirely when some years ago h
retired from The Ledger and left II
conduct to his sons. His theory wa
that many of the alleged diseases o
the horse, especially those that brini
on lameness, are the result of ignor
ance. of the structure of the foot ant
consequent bad shoeing. He prove'
his theories TO be sound by alway
having the great horses he owned sho
under his direction and their fee
properly balanced" AS a result hi
horses were never lame.
