The most conspicuous ponies that have appeared within the last thirty years are, Flewr-de-Lis, a hollow-backed 12.2 pony to whom weight made no difference. Teenkvoang, the very reverse in shape, who holds the record fr 1h mile 3.11}. First Cornet, a three-cornered dun holds the one ile record in 2.4}. Eureka broke the 1} mile record in 3.473; Royalist the 1} mile in 2.38, Bovril the 2 miles in 4.21}, and Zephyr, although he has not broken any record might have done so had he met cattle good enough to make hin extend himself. Hero broke the record for mile in 1.294, but more of this pony anon; nnd last, but, not least, Black Satin who holds the record for' the greatest number of wins, I believe his record is over 40 wins. The truism that ponies run in all shapes could not be better exemplified than by the foregoing, seeing that the ponies mentioned do not show the slightest resemblance to each other, either in shape, colour, or style.
