HORSE IS STILL KING

Full Of fra and full Of bone,
With all his line of fathers known;
Fine his nose, his n%ostrils thin,
But blown abroad by pride within;
His name is like a river flowing
And his eyes like embers glowing
In the darkness Of the night,
And his pace as swift as light.
Of course, Barry Cornwall wasn't
describing the big, handsome, mat
inee idol of a black horse VINO danced
around the arena at the Horse Show
every night last week keeping time
to the music-the horse belonging to
Tom Bass, af Mexico, Mo-, negro.
Unless you sat quite close you may
very likely not have realized that the
trim figure that sat the horse was a
negro's. But around Mexico, a
Southern town settled by Kentuck-
ians and Virginians, Tom is a figure
of no small Importance.
"One of the best horsemen in
America, black or white" they'll tell
you, and in the next breath explain
that Tom is quite unspoiled by all
the laurels that have come his way.
There have been laurels a-plenty,
Perhaps, the one that pleased him
most was the command he received
from Queen Victoria to bring his
famous high school horse, Columbus,
to her Diamond Jubilee. Tom didn't
go-he didn't want to risk Columbus
on an ocean voyage-but it was
something to have received an invi-
~tation from the Queen of England.
1t is a mighty 'horsey" town, this
