The surface was wretched to-day, the two drawbacks of yesterday (the thin crusts which let the ponies through and the sandy heaps which hang on the runners) if anything exaggerated. Bowers&#8217; pony refused work at intervals for the first time. His hind legs sink very deep. Weary Willy is [...]]]></description>
