traded her off for horse after he
thought he had worn her out. She
then started on the rounds again,
changing owners frequently without
much money passing. once she was
traded for well worn Ford car To
get rid of her the man who took her
in the trade sent her to an auction.
where she was bought by the one from
whom Mr.. Cook purchased her.
it was in the autumn of 1917 that she
attracted his attention in spite of her
run down condition. After a few weeks
of generous feeding and rest the little
mare rounded to and was shown by
him at one or two very small country
fairs in Rhode Island. Mr.. Cook win
tered her like a champion, and In 1918
entered her under the name Tantrum
at the Newport Horse Show. where she
won both the novice class and the open
class for saddle ponies under 12.2 hands.
She also captured prize in the har-
ness class. where She had to meet Miss
Janice Liggett's 5000 hackney ponies
Fulgora and Princess Fulange.
In getting her ready for the National
Horse Show in New York she went
lame, as she did again the next spring
while at the Brooklyn Horse Show.
This influenced Mr.. Cook to sell her
to William Poth, who soon got her go
ing sound and strong. In the hands
of his little daughter. who changed the
ponys name to Bounce, she has won
more than fifty ribbons in the last
three years. including two firsts at the
National Horse Show. To win two hotly
contested classes at the country's lead
ing horse show after a life like that
of Bounce is believed to be the come

This is the closed season for horse
shows. yet the little brown saddle pony
Bounce. victor in many competitions at
the national and other leading exhibi-
tions OF the last few years. has just
won the biggest prize of, her whole
career. Benjamin Ladd Cook of Piovi-
dence. who found the little beauty in
the gutter and dressed her up and put
her on the stage, has repurchased her
from Miss Corrlnne Poth of New York,
and. to use his own words, "she has
now come home to roost: and will spend
the rest of her. days in clover.
The story Of the little mares ups and
downs reads like chapter from the
life of Black Beauty She Is supposed
to have been foaled at a place called
the Pine Hill Pony Farm, Medford
Mass. about ten years ago. but no
such farm is knowp to Boston horse
men. The first thing really known
about her is that man named Nichols
who ran a miniature pony track at one
of the shore resorts near Providence,
had her in his string to hire out for
ten cents ride to children. The pony
proved to be little too much horse"
for the boys and girls who tried to
handle her, and so she was sold.
After this she went from one new
owner to another in quick succession
until she fell into the hands of a
Canadian wood chopper in rural Rhode
Island. who, boasted that he drove her
every morning to a Concord wagon
just twelve miles in one hour to his
wood lot, and back again at night in
exactly the same time. This meant
twenty-four miles a day, which can
hardly be classified as short haul for
a pony only 11.2 hands high. The hard
work wore her down to skin and bones

|DEVON'S Big STAKES
FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
New Plan Of Awarding Horse
Show HOnors to Be Tried
in Spring Exhibition.

In connection with its early closing
stakes for saddle horses. harness
horses and ponies the Devon Horse Show
will this year inaugurate the plan of
making the winners of these big prizes
the champions of the show. This de-
cision was reached at recent meeting
of the horse show committee of which
DIR. Thomas G. Ashton. r. r. NJ. Car
penter. Isaac II. Clothier. Jr.. and Will
lam II. Wanamaker. Jr. are the MEM
bers. If the new scheme works out
satisfactorily at Devon it is likely to be
adopted for the National Horse Show in
New York.
There is a growing belief among man
ayers of the larger shows that cham
pionship classes under old conditions are
losing their Importance and their hold
AS matters now stand any little neigh
borhood show can put on such a class
and proclaim the winner champion just
the same as at one of the larger exhi-
bitions. which bring together the repre-
sentative stables of the country. The title
of champion has been cheapened in this
way until it means little among horse
men. Some of them seem to think the
right way to remedy matters would be
for the Association of American Horse
Shows to prohibit the award of cham
pionshsp prizes except under certain con-
ditions which would give the title some
weight
]. Macy Willets. secretary of the
A. A. II. s.. reports twenty-eight en-
tries for Devon's Hackney Futurity for
foals of 1921. which closed on January l..
This is a considerable increase over
previous years. indicating that good
many horse fanciers who exhibit at
Devon are still breeding big or little
high shoppers of the harness type. The
Futurity for foals of 1920 is to be Judged
at Devon this year. Among the horses
and ponies eligible to compete are the
foals of such old time show ring winners
as William H. Wanamaker's Suave.
