As their mother, I have shown
interest above ordinary in the
riding of my children. I started
each child on his or her own
pony, when each had reached the
age Of five years. They had sur
prisingly few spills. I failed tc
discover in the children signs OF
nervousness or lack Of confidence.
All were keen, and are today.
Our family has been fortunate
in having a perfect pony for the
children's earlier education in
riding. Trinket. a bay mare, 1873
hands, has served us faithfully
She was a 4-year old when she
came to us. My son schooled her
and hunted her for three years
at the end Of which time he out
grew her. She was handed down
to the girls.
My young ladies have shown
Trinket for the past five years
and she has rewarded them by
proving herself consistent
winner in the jumping classes,
much to the delight Of us all.

Countries Are Similar

If you could stand on an emf
nence and look over the English
ShireS and Piedmont Virginia to-
gether, you would be struck with
the similarity of the two countries
both are gently rolling pasture
lands dotted with herds of cattle
and sheep; both have frequent
patches of woodland, and few
fields under plow. But when you
ride over it the similarity ends.
The English fields are separated
by neatly trimmed hedges of
black thorn, often with a ditch on
one or both sides-this requires a
horse to stand back and "fly" the
fence in his stride.
To me, the bitches are more
difficult than the fences-unless
o horse pecks very badly he can
generally brush through the
bedge and stand up on the other
side. And a fall is usually not
very serious, as the ground is
generally soft. Some of the
hedges have "oxers" and double
overs"-heavy poles set about two
feet back from the hedge on one
or both sides-they also require
horses to stand back and fly their
fences. The great advantage of
the Shire county is the absence
of wire (the little wire obtaining
being plainly marked, and the
fact that you can jump almost
anywhere. and that forty or fifty
horses are able to jump the same
fence at the same time.
In the Virginia hunting coun-
tries the fences are big stone
walls, snake" fences. post-and-
rails. and plank fences. A good
deal of wire exists--this has been
paneled with chicken coops" OF
rails where necessary. For the
most part, these obstacles are
stiff and solid and the rider who
tries to fly them will soon come
to grief. He should make his
horse approach them collectedly
and jump from the hooks.

The Minister is getting a good laugh
at the expense of the natives and older
residents, who, mistaking his title of
diplomatic rank as belonging to the
clergy, became quite excited when on a
Sunday morning he was missing from
his pew in the tabernacle or pavilion
where church services are regularly held.
An investigation led to the beach, where
it was reported that not only the Min
lister, but his entire family, were knee
deep in the surf and enjoying them
selves enormously. Not such a coed re-
port on a minister of the gospel, but
mild for diplomat. Not only he, but
the other residents Of the resort, are
enjoying the joke.
