KICKS UP ROW OVER PONY
Indignant Citizen Tells p s. O.
That Horses Are Horses.

When is a pony a horse-if at all !
That was the question put up to the
Public Service Commission of this dis
trict Yesterday in letter received from
one George C. Crowley. Mr.. Crowley
wrote:
II shipped a pony from Roscoe. n. y
TO Weehawken, n. j., over the New
York. Ontario & Western Railroad. on
nv freight bill, which had to pay be-
fore could get the pony, they told me
a pony was a horse. Now. Of course, a
pony is not a horse; a young horse Is
a colt, and a pony is different breed
Of animal. There Is no more reason
why q railroad company should call a
pony a horse than why they should
call a COW q horse. A cow never turns
into q horse and pony never turns
into a horse. The actual weight of the
pony which | shipped was 43l pounds,
and on their freight bill they made me
pay at the rate Of five thousand
pounds.
