J. K. GRAINGER,

Bombay Presidency.
BOMBAY: PRINTED AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL PRESS.
Annual Administration Report of the Department of Horse-Breeding Operations
for 1889-90.
No. 7961.
REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 8th November 1890.
Letter from the Superintendent of Horse-Breeding Operations, No. 860, dated 5th July
1890—Submitting the Annual Administration Report of the Department of Horse-
Breeding Operations in the Bombay Presidency and Beluchistán for the year 1889-90.
RESOLUTION.—Mr. Grainger's tour during the year under review com-
prised all the districts of the Deccan except Sátára, as also Ahmedabad,
Shikárpur, Upper Sind Frontier, Beluchistán, Cutch and Pálanpur. The South-
ern Marátha Country Districts were not visited during the year. In a separate
Resolution the Superintendent of Horse-Breeding Operations has been directed
to visit the Dhárwár District during the current season and report the results of
his visit.
2. The total number of horse stallions (excluding those stationed in
Beluchistán) on the roll on 1st April 1889 was 96, of which 4 died during the
year under review, 7 were sold as being unfit for stud purposes, and one was
transferred to Bengal. One new stallion was received from Bengal during the
year in exchange for one sent to Beluchistán from the Bombay establishment.
There remained thus 84 on the roll on the 31st March 1890, of which 12 were
thoroughbred English, 10 Norfolk trotters, 61 Arab and 1 Pegu. Fifty stallions
were located in the Deccan, 11 in Gujarát and 23 in Sind and Cutch. Including
19 stationed in Beluchistán the total number of horse stallions in charge of
the Superintendent of Horse-Breeding Operations at the close of the year was
103, of which 68 were horses and 35 ponies. Of the stallions 66 are classed as
very good, 34 good and 3 fair.
3. The following table shows the results of the year under review as re-
gards the branding of mares as compared with those of the previous year, the
total number of branded mares in the Presidency as it stood at the close of the
year and the average number per stallion:—

* These figures also include the number branded in Káthiáwár.
Though the number of mares branded for covering by horse stallions rose from
225 in 1888-89 to 375 in the year under review, and the number of pony mares
branded from 531 to 703, the results on the whole cannot be regarded as satis-
4
complain. The present report is equally unsatisfactory, and His Excellency the
Governor in Council trusts that the District officers and the Superintendent will
co-operate to extend the popularity and usefulness of the Department and thus
bring about better results.
