Yet none of these breeds can be legitiâ€" mately stigmatized as mongrel, though. according to the rendering of the imâ€" mortal Webster, they can scarcely claim to be pure bred. The very thorourhâ€" bred of which all Englishmen are so justly proud is admittedly the result of a comparatively recent cross, and even many varieties of ponies which for centuries have roamed their native hills and moors are known to have been **improved‘"‘ by the infusion of exâ€" traneous blood.
