~ AUGHT in the avalanche of in
creaSing duties which have de-
scended upon him since his
~ fathers critical illness, the
Prince Of Wales has decided to
abandon hunting and point-to-p point
racing. That is the report which has
come to America recently from Eng
land.
Emphasis is placed upon the fact that
he Is giving up the sport for the time
only" but at the same time it is re-
ported that hunting stable of Is of
the princes horses, including Degemme,
one of his favorites, will be sold in the
near future.
And thus may pass one of the most
commonly recurring topics Of converse
ton in equestrian circles-the horse
n1anship Of the prince and the number
Of spills he suffers.
In hotel lounges, aboard liners and
trains ! have scores of times heard peo-
pie exclaim on opening the morning
newspaper, Good Heavens! the Prince
Of Wales has been thrown again!" Then
the opinion invariably was expressed
that the royal rider should give up
riding before he broke his valuable neck.
Now as a matter of actual fact. the
prince was rarely thrown by his horse.
More often than not he merely rolled
OIL ltOAoC VI U1 a
stumbling horse or a mount that
"jibbed" at jump. And in 80 per
cent of instances it was due to sheer
bad horsemanship, for 1t must be frank
ly stated that the prince was very
poor horseman.
He had bad seat and worse hands
for the ribbons. He had little or no
control over his mounts either with leg
or rein. Given ordinary hacks. or ami
mails with spice of deviltry or hard
mouth, and he would rarely sit out a
mile over turf, let alone over timber,
brush or water. All his mounts were
"made-to-measure" rides. He was al
ways superbly mounted and more often
than not all he had to do was to sit
tight and leave it TO the horse-and
Providence.
Going over jumps he gave the horse
its head. Consequently on landing he
could not collect his mount, and since
invariably he did not go with his
horse" his landings were nearly always
poor, with the horse ''pecking" to regain
It's four legs.
LIE had a bad habit of throwing his
Il weight onto the back arch OF the
saddle while taking fences, whereas ne
should have eased the horses quarters
on the take-od and swung" the body
over quarters and shoulders as the horse
rose punched" Strengthened out and
fell, leasing and feeling" the relns so
as to help the beast collect Itself.

fence and came down with an awful
crash. But the prince, mud-bespat-
tered and hatleSs. grabbed his horses
reins, mounted again and, but for the
demonstrations of several members Of
the hunt, would have had q go at the
hedge on the other side, taking on from
the greasy roadi
An M. F. H. used to have q very
anxious spell when the prince turned
out. for 1t would have been distinctly
embarrassing to have the heir to the
throne break his neck while out with
your pack.
/, A T one time there was q good deal Of
\ public feeling in England about the
princes riding. People openly expressed
the opinion that he should not be per-
mitted to risk his valuable life.
But the prince had "dare-devils luck"
like Lindbergh like that great
and deservedly popular young man, he
got away with 1t.
AS a steepechase rider the prince was
all pluck and no brains. He went "hell
for leather" right from the start. The
art OF nursing mount was unknown to
him. His sole idea of racing was to
get his mount, and himself II possible,
over the distance between two given
points In the shortest possible time He
rode full tilt at his fences and bitches,
letting the horse have Its head and ex-
ercising absolutely no control over the
animal until 1t was time to pull him up.
1t was good thing he had such ex-
cellent mounts. Miss Muffet, that he
rode q good deal in military point-to-
point races, was q splendid creature.
Strangely enough, there are few cav
airy officers who look better than the
prince on ceremonial parades.
In his hunting kit and jockey outfit
he does not look particularly outstand-
ing. His walk. however. Is that Of the
cavalryman, with that peculiar swing
from the knee and with the toes
turned out.
AS a polo player the prince was never
great. He did not ride well enough to
start with, and he was always under the
terrible handicap Of knowing that on
the field he was the cynosure Of all
eyes.
Few people stop to consider this really
genuine handicap. To the man who
knows himself to be q great player the
attentions Of the crowd matter little. It
must be unnerving to feel that every
one Is specializing as to how soon you
will come OIL am sure that this had
lot to do with the princes reckless
ness.
Let me in conclusion make . fnal
point quite clear. I have many q time
heard people say that when the Prince
Of Wales won q race the other riders
had held back and let him romp home

Jewelry Output.

II EGARDLESS Of what Americans may
be spending upon luxuries, in one
line at least the expenditures have fallen
on. even though the total loss may be
but IL per cent. Figures compiled by the

He just won't lease it--won't even talk
about 1t. He can make more money
with regular crops.
Whenever we run into this, we try
to get the women on our side. We show
them how the planes landing will vary
the monotony of things, and will draw
visitors. And there's one big argument
the power lines Most of these farm
ers haven't electric light or power. We
get extension for our beaconS and field
lights where possible, and, of course, the
farmers can hook onto these lines. AL
most every time We mention this the
women come over to our side, and pretty
soon the farmer is signing on the dot
ted line.
Quite often we have cases where
there are two or three owners. and half
the time we get the two end pieces
and then have fight about the piece
in the middle. Once we were held up
because the owners wife said she didn't
see any sense in the air mail-the rural
free delivery was good enough for her.
She stuck to 1t, and we finally had to
get a farm investment bureau to buy
the land and then lease 1t to US.
About the worst trouble of this sort
we experienced was with field of so
acres with eight owners. No one would
be the first to sign, each one trying to
find out what the others were getting
as fees. I finally told them I was going
to drop 1t and get a field mile away.
That worked. and at last they all
signed.
"Beacons are less trouble. though get
ting sites isn't simple at that. We can't
pay much for q little piece of ground.
and our own arguments are power
lines to the home and patriotism. If
they have power already, we pray that
they'll be extremely patriotic.
GONE Of the funniest things that
ever happened in connection with
beacons occurred down South. I had
picked site in corner of field, but
the owner refused to lease it. He said
the glare from the beacon would keep
him awake all night. I told him the
light was tilted slightly upward and
wouldn't come in his window, but he
wouldn't listen.
II went across the road and APP

adjoining section. He was dubious at
first. until told him I had seen his
neighbor. He looked curious at once.

Just as compliment to his position.
That Is strictly untrue. On the con-
trary, the cavalry officers who rode in
the military point-to-point races with
the prince always did their utmost to
give him q good race. 1t was considered
quite splendid performance whenever
the prince did romp home. for in Eng
land every one knew his limitations as
q horseman and. consequently. more
credit was due to him when he did
push his horses nose first past the post.
