RESOLUTION.—Mr. Grainger appears to have moved actively about the
Presidency during the year under review. He
visited the marginally named districts of the
Presidency proper and Sind, as also Deesa,
Pálanpur and parts of Mahi Kántha, Cutch
and Beluchistán. He attended the Horse-
shows at Poona, Rájkot, Ahmednagar, Jacobabad, Sibi, Bhúj and Ahmedabad.
In the course of his tour and at the various shows he branded a considerable
number of mares and inspected the Government stallions. Mr. Grainger com-
plains that the date originally fixed for the Ahmednagar show was subsequently
changed by the Show Committee and that he was not informed of the change of
date in time to enable him to avoid making an useless visit there. The omis-
sion on the part of the Show Committee is to be regretted.
2. There were on the Superintendent's register at the beginning of the
year 49 horse and 35 pony stallions. Of these one died during the year
and 3 were cast for unfitness; but to replace these three stallions were purchased
locally. Including those stationed in Beluchistán, the total number of horse
stallions in the Superintendent's charge at the end of the year was 104, of which
48 were in the Deccan and Southern Marátha Country, 11 in Gujarát, 24 in
Sind and Cutch, and 21 in Beluchistán.
In the course of his inspection
at Ahmedabad Mr. Grainger brought to the notice of the District officers
the fact that the stallions were not getting sufficient exercise, and it is hoped
that due weight will be given to his opinion and to the remarks by the Director
of Land Records and Agriculture in paragraph 10 of his memorandum. With
reference to paragraph 84 of his report the Superintendent should be requested
to submit, in communication with the local authorities concerned, through the
Director of Land Records and Agriculture separate proposals showing definitely
what stable accommodation is required at the several stations mentioned in that
paragraph, what will be the cost of providing it, and how the charge should be
met.
3. During the year under review 1,046 mares in all were branded as
against 1,078 in the previous year. It appears from the statistics furnished in
3
case, the Director of Land Records and Agriculture should consider if improve-
ment cannot be secured. If the latter, the Superintendent of Horse-Breeding
Operations should pay especial attention to the results of each stallion's work.
It will be of convenience to Government if columns can be added to
Appendix VII, showing against each horse his coverings of the previous year,
and the foals attributed to him in the year of report.
10. This report does not relate to the period in which the Department has
been supervised by the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, and that
may account for the baldness of Mr. Cappel's review. The Director's next
review should contain a comprehensive examination and discussion of the opera-
tions of the Department and of their results.
11. It appears from a report submitted by the Superintendent of Horse-
Breeding Operations that the annual district returns required for his report
were not received from some of the District officers till late in July last, and the
report could not therefore be submitted to the Government of India by the
prescribed date. To ensure the punctual submission of the report to the Gov-
ernment of India in future, the Collectors and Political Agents concerned should
be requested to transmit their returns to the Superintendent by the 1st of May
in each year.

ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT FOR THE
OFFICIAL YEAR 1891-92.
My tours in the Horse-breeding Districts.
1st April to 2nd May 1891.
At the beginning of the year under report I was at Ahmednagar and re-
mained there till the 19th of April, and then proceeded
to Bombay to assist in the examination of the students
of the Bombay Veterinary College, which lasted till the 2nd of May.
Ahmednagar.
2. I then returned to Ahmednagar and remained
there till the 4th of August, with the exception of a
visit to Poona.
3. This year also there was an outbreak of glanders in the Remount Rear-
ing Depôt, Ahmednagar, and as there was no other Veterinary Officer, I was
obliged to remain at the head-quarters. I had to make a bi-weekly inspection of
all the horses in the Depôt; therefore it was quite impossible for me to go on
tour. Besides these inspections, precautionary measures had to be adopted, and
I am glad to state that they were successful.
4. Here I would again urge the desirability of a Veterinary Surgeon being
specially appointed to the Remount Depôt, as this prevented me from attending
my immediate duties as Superintendent, Horse-breeding Department. I can
only render veterinary aid or supervision during my short visits to Ahmednagar.
5. I am glad to say that my services have been fully acknowledged by the
Director of Army Remount Department. Copy of his letter, No. 816, dated 30th
June 1891, to General Superintendent, Horse-breeding Operations, is given below
for perusal:—
"I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 40 D, dated 22nd June
1891, regarding your visit to Ahmednagar Depôt. I beg to express to you my thanks for
the advice and assistance you have been good enough to render to Captain Williamson and
Mr. Grainger in the matter of the occurrence of 4 cases of glanders amongst horses at
that (Ahmednagar) Depôt. I shall be obliged, also, if you will be so good as to convey to
Mr. Grainger my thanks for the ready assistance he has given.
"2. I have alluded to this assistance from you both in my report to the Government of
India.
"3.

Poona, 10th to 14th July 1891.
6. I went to Poona to attend the meeting of the
stewards of the Poona Horse Show.
7. During my stay at the head-quarters I branded 44 mares.
Supa, 6th August 1891.
8. I visited Supa in the Párner Taluka of the

and 5 for pony.
Sirúr, 7th August 1891.
9. From here I proceeded to Sirúr in the Poona

Stallions: demand for.
11. Horse-breeding is steady in Deccan and Gujarát and it is flourishing in
Sind, Cutch and Beluchistán. In Deccan and Gujarát
there was scarcity of forage during the year under
report, and therefore, the services of some of the Government stallions have not
been availed of to the full extent.
