English State Horses.

From the London Chronicle.
A curious interest attaches to the
cream-colored horses which draw the
state coach of the sovereign on cere-
monial occasions. These ponies" as
they are called, represent the white horse
which was the sta adard of the ancient
Saxons. and is still preserved in the royal
shield of the House of Hanover. by which
it was reintroduced into England. The
famous white horse carved on the slope
of Ellington hill in Berkshire is proof
that it was known to our Saxon ances-
tors who thus recorded their great VIC
tory over the Danes. Who has not heard
of The Securing of the White Horse?
