equal. America has taken to him kindly, and he is being bred 

 by a few enterprising men with success and gratitude. There 

 is room for him here in unlimited numbers, and splendid re- 

 turns await others who will take him up. 



Another pony that is gaining favor, because of his beauty, 

 and usefulness, is the Welsh pony. He is better suited to older 

 children than is the Shetland, and will become much sought 

 after for that stage of juvenile existence, which comes between 

 the Shetland pony age and the time when they are able to ride 

 small horses. He is a hardy, sound constituted animal, beauti- 

 ful to look upon, and will become a prime favourite here as 

 time goes on.
