Pretty Good Definition.

We hear some funny things In Fleet
street sometimes, and the following
definition of the height Of aggravation.
by gentleman in rather shaky boots,
whom we encountered In well-known
hostelry the other day, struck US as
being particularly choice.
"The eight Of haggravation, gentle
men," said this pothouse humorist, set
ting his pewter on the counter and
looking round proudly, with the air of
one about to let of good thing. the
eight of haggravation-why, trying
to ketch flea out O yer ear with a
pair Of boxin' gloves. Tit

ponies are kept by their breeders ir

ponies are kept by their breeders in
droves, and, when in the spring they
wander to the waters edge to get a
rations, scores of them perish as the
treacherous tides frequently catch
them unawares and the weakest are
carried out into the ocean,.
The oft-asked question: From
whence did the Shetlands come? has
been answered in different ways. The
commonly accepted explanation is
that they were taken to the islands
from the mainland many centuries
ago; that they were originally a
horse, instead of pony, and that the
hardships they have been compelled
to endure have diminished their size.
This belief is fortified by the fact
that when the Shetland is generously
fed he increases in size and bulk,
and this fact also has brought disas-
ter to number of breeders in this
country.
Whatever fashion demands, breed
ers must supply or go out of business
A pony that is not much taller than
great Dane will bring 500 more in
the market than one that measures
six inches higher. Rich fathers and
rich mothers seek the tiny ones for
their children, and they do not stand
on the matter of price when they
find what they are seeking. The
Shetland is the most docile of the
equine tribe, and, seemingly, the most
sagacious. Doubtless, his environ
ments have sharpened his instincts
to a remarkable degree. In blood he
is the plebeian of the plebeians, as we
moderns count horsefesh, for his
breeding is only one degree higher
than that of the OK or the ass; that
is, the true Shetland.
The most remarkable breed of pony
known is the Canadian French pony,
his ancestors having been brought
over from France by the French colo
nists. He evidently has good blood
in his veins, and may have descended
from the Spanish palfrey, as he PAGES
and trots, is a horse of high spirit,
and of considerable speed. The noted
Hal family, The Pilot Jr. family, the
Copperbottoms, and some of the 9TH
er pacing families in the United
States sprang from the loins of
French-Canadian ponies.
The Glenwood post., 1910-12-24

George w. Goodacre, a prominent
figure on the Potomac Speedway, has
introduced into the District of Colum-
bia new industry.
Mr.. Goodacre proposes to devote
much of his time in the future to the
breeding of Shetland ponies, and has
\ recently imported 12 head of beauti-
full animals which he has located on
his estate in the vicinity Of Bright
wood. Since their arrival these pom
les have excited. much admiration on
account of their gentleness and intelli-
gence.
With one or two exceptions, the
ponies are of the tiny kind, as the
illustration shows; in fact, they are
50 small that the major portion of
them could pass between the legs of
a man of average size without the ruff
fle Of hair. The lord of the harem
is a perfectly made tiny specimen Of
the Shetland tribe called Billie, black
in color, and he can do almost any
thing he is called upon to do except
talk and pay taxes.
The cutest in the band is a tiny
symposium of horsefesh called DR..
Chase Jr., so named because he re-
sembles the Doctor in color, being a
golden sorrel, and again because his
markings are similar to those worn
by the great Speedway trotter. All of
the ponies except two are of the pop
ular color, being either white and
black or bay and white.
The fashion in ponies runs strongly
toward the extremely small ones.
They bring fabulous prices when of
right size and color in all large cities
in this country, not only on account
of their oddity. but because the size
desired is hard to produce. The prim-
tive home of the Shetland is in the
islands which lie off the extreme
northern coast of Scotland Bleak
and desolate are these islands, even
in the midst of summer The grass is
karse and not over-nutritious. 1t Is
- winter. however, that the sagacity
and endurance of the Shetland Is put
to the test. He is compelled to dig
through the snow for the forage he
gets, Or maybe, If the snow is too
deep for him to reach the ground. he
lives on twigs and seaweed.
In the case of the Shetland pony, it
is truly survival of the fittest The
