PIT PONIES.
[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."1 Sts, I feel almost ashamed to address this letter to you, to ask your kindly help and sympathy again in this work of encouraging the pit boys to be kind and humane to the ponies in their charge by sending a book or two for prizes. You have hitherto been very good and kind in your assistance. My fifteen years' experience goes to show me that it is more needed than ever that the drivers should be closely looked after. You may depend upon it managers won't take inspectors to find cases for prosecution, &c. Prizes are very much wanted, hence this appeal to your kind heart once more. We are shortly going to have a Bazaar to try to raise funds for prizes. Could you help us through the medium of your great paper ? Truly, help for the ponies is wanted.—I am, Sir, &c., W. J. Witt& Holly House, Dodworth, Barnsley.
