A Mule Supported

Tu the Editor of the "Nowrit-Cunxa Day News"

Your editorial note of a couple of days ago under the head~ ing "Disgraceful Practice," based Housey's' letter, received a well Justified kick from A Mute, with Whose views T am in complete sympathy. On what grounds docs Houser set himself up asa judge of other riders' capabilities or' actions, and since when has the "North China Dally News" taken over the ities of the SP.H.C? T am quite sure that if there were any: justfieation in Honsey's letter regarding the damage to crops, the responsible officials of the S.PALC. would have seen that a well-worded note of advice was published, warning riders to exercise care.

As a matter of interest 1 rang up the larger riding schools to know they had any ponies in their stables damaged by wire or knew of any, and their reply was in the negative. Hoasey's remarks about several being Injured donot coincide "with the acts.
