Hackney Is Descendant of the Norfolk Trotter

Prior to the end of the Eighteenth
century the use of wheeled vehicles
was not general. Says tombstone in
writing of the origin of hackneys:
'Roads were few and bad. There
fore people relied mostly on horse
back and walking for transporta-
ton. At this time (about 1900 there
was in the eastern part of England
breed of saddle horse called the
Norfolk trotter. The hackney of to-
day is a descendant of this strain.
The Norfolk trotter had fast gaits
and good endurance, yet from his
conformation this conclusion would
not be drawn. His head is too
coarse, neck short and thick, and
he has no height"
The hackneys of today have these
same qualities, with the exception
of much nicer heads, writes Capt.
Maxwell Corpening in the Chicago
Tribune. Originally they were sad
die horses, but now are used most
ly for driving principally in shows.
Great stress is placed upon their
manner of going Much time is de-
voted by trainers to achieving an
exaggerated high foot action. Their
success in achieving this is remark
able considering the breeds heavy
forehand and relatively thick, chub-
by body. Because of this up-and-
down motion the hackney is not fast

THERE is logic in the idea that
1 glasses, china and pots and
pans should have their own tow
els. Here is simple way to make
that logic work. Write across the
corner of each towel with soft
pencil the purpose for which it is
to be used. Use a soft pencil and
your best script with the tall let
tiers at least two inches high.
Work over the hand writing with
heavy, bright colored embroidery
thread. Chain stitch, as shown
here at the upper right, gives a
good strong outline and may be
done quickly. Use different color
for each kind of towel. Colored
facings of prepared bias binding
used flat as shown at the lower left
make a practical edge finish. If
you use flour and sugar sacks for
dish towels, these suggestions for

as compared with our standardized
roadsters.
The process of refining the breed
came into prominence with the ad-
vent of better roads and the intro
duction of wheeled vehicles. So
long as he was used for saddle pur-
poses coarseness was tolerated.
With the development of snappy
little vehicles, smooth roads, and the
exaggerated hackney way of going,
fashionable folk began to take no
tice. Hackney classes with femi-
nine drivers became social events.
In seeking to maintain the pace
American sportsmen began import
ing these cocky little performers,
until now no horse show is complete
without them.
The common reference to ..road
hack in designating a saddle class
is derivation of hackney. Like
wise the term hack in describing a
vehicle.

"But-"

There was a look on his face
which she had not seen since his
return. Uplifted, eager. A light in
his eyes, like the light which had
shone in the eyes of boy.
She found it difficult to speak.

Xavier University eked out hard
earned 20 victory over Tuskegee
in a brilliant grid iron encounter
here Saturday, the Alabamans COM
plttely outplayed the heavier team
in the second half.
Xavier earned the two-talley as
the result of an automatic safety
in the second quarter when Chuck
Summers, Xavier's fast 210-pound
center, blocked Tuskegee Helback
PearSon'S kick on his own two-yard
line.
More than 5000 fans witnessed
the thrilling air attack of the Tigers
in the second half which found
the visitors threatening during the
entire period.
The Tuskegee Tigers actually out
gained and out-downed the Gold
Rush making 102 yard by running
and los yards through passing as
compared to IS yards gained
through running by Xavier.
The Gold Rush team was only
able to score four first downs to
seven made by Tuskegee.
Summers Elliot Paxton William
son and Gravely were outstanding
for Xavier. while Pearson, Carter
and S1ade starred for Tuskegee.
Elliot's punting for Xavier was
oy far the outstanding feature of
the game. Several times when the
visitors were within striking dis
tance, his educated toe sent the
