Not Altooether Dead.

Mr. Robert Butler of Marlborough,
England, mas had the peculiar expe-
rience of hearing his death announc-
ed. He was attending the poor law
conference at Exeter when one of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence of the death of Mr.. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one of
the representatives of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference,
amid much amusement, that, SO far
as he was aware, he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the Office If the
conference desired.

BREEDING SHETLAND PONY
FOR CHILDREN'S PLEASURE
Animal Most Equine Tribe, and Seemingly
Most Sagacious-Where They Origi-


ponies are kept by their breeders In
droves, and, when in the spring they
wander TO the waters edge to get a
taste of seaweed to supplement their
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
harGships 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 a 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
a great Dane will bring $100 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 pafrey, as he PAGES
and trots, is 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.

George w. Goodacre, 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 IL head of beauti.
ful animals which he has located on
IBIS estate in the vicinity of Bright
wood. Since their arrival these pom
ies 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
SO small that the major portion of
them could pass between the legs 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-
Nsembles 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-
Hive home of the Shetland is in the
islands which lie off the extreme
northern coast of Scotland. Bleak
and desolate are these islands, even
jim the midst of summer The grass is
sparse and not over-nutritious 1t is
in 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 a survival Of the fittest. The

WILL CUT DOWN
LIST OF EVENTS
OLYMPIC GAMES COMMITTEE DE-
cIDES TO ELIMINATE SOME
OF THE SPORTS OF
OTHER YEARS.

New York. March 16.-According to
officers of the Amateur Athletic union
there is every likelihood of a consider
able curtailment in the list of events to
be held in Stockholm, Sweden, next
year.
The shortness of the period OF the
| festival makes necessary the omission
of certain of the sports which were
found on the London Olympic program.
The inclusion of these minor sports
in the English scheme was widely
criticised because most Of the events
called out English competitors exclu-
sively.
The Swedish committee proposes to
intrust the work of the actual MANAGE
ment to the subcommittee appointed
by the governing associations Of
Sweden. AS a rule, Swedes only will
be appointed officials. but the Swedish
committee may, at it's discretion, avail
itself of the assistance of foreigners.
as was done occasionally by the Brit
ish committee.
Mention is made in the general reg
ulations of international juries to be
composed of representatives of all the
nations taking part in the games and
Having jurisdiction over different
branches of sport 1t is further laid
down that the decision of protests will
rest with the jury and not, as hereto
fore, with the executive officials.
I, The curtailment of the Olympic pro-
gram will not affect the more popu-
lar events. Runnings races at all of
the most popular distances are retain
ed, but there is only one walking con-
test at the distance of 10000 meters,
as against those of $500 meters and ten
miles in 1908.
The 400 meters hurdle and the stee-
plechase are eliminated.
A new event is introduced in a cross
country race at 5000 meters, a very
short distance for a race of this kind
Similar objection could be made to the
relay race of 400 meters.
Changes have been made i'm the jaw
elm and discus events. the free style
in the one and the Greek style in the
other having been given up. A new
feature of these exercises is introduced
i'm the offer of prizes for ambidexter-
ity.
Graeco-R Roman will be the style in
the wrestling bouts, this being the
style universally used on the CONT
nent. In gymnastics a team compe-
tition in exercises according to the
Swedish system is a new feature.
Noticeable innovations in the swim
ming events will be 400-meter breast
stroke and a 10O-meter race as well
as a diving contest for ladies. Men
ton is made in the rowing line of but
two first class events-the Fights and
the SOULS.
