An object of great interest at the late Agricultural Show was the well- 
known pony of Mr. C. A. Atkin, of Errol-street, Hotham. The old fellow is thirty- 
five years old, has been in Mr. Atkin's possession over twenty years, and is a 
marvel of soundness and condition for his age. His genial owner, who is very 
proud of “Frolic,” held quite a levee, and, amidst a general handshaking, wishes 
were expressed that the old fellow and his master might pass many years 
together. Frolic was awarded a prize in the Extra Stock Class.
