Resolution
No. 6607, dated 30th October
1888.
36. It was decided to hold alternate Shows at Jacobabad and Shikárpur,
and this was the first Show of the kind. The Show
was a decided success as regards the number and qua-
lity of the exhibits. About 37 remounts were pur-
chased by Major Chalmers, the Punjáb Remount
Agent, and the Officers Commanding the Cavalry Regiment at Jacobabad ; also 9
mules were purchased by Captain Picot, Assistant Commissary General.
Thull, 14th January 1889.
37. On the recommendation of Mr. Giles I visited this place for the pur-
pose of inspecting and branding mares ; 6 were brand-
ed for horse and 18 for donkey, and 60 rejected. The
mares were a poor lot, as will be seen from the number rejected.
Radhan, 20th January 1889.
38. I arrived here on the 20th, but only 14 mares were brought forward ;
and as they were a very poor lot, I only branded 1 for
horse and 10 for donkey.

39. Here 500 mares were collected for my

48. On my way to Bhúj, in Cutch, I visited
Hyderabad and inspected the stallions, as per
margin. They were in fair condition. The stal-
lion " Paradox" was brought in for my inspection
from Thar and Párkar, and I transferred him to Hyderabad.
Bhúj in Cutch, 2nd to 7th
March.
49. The day selected for the Horse Show was in conjunction with the
marriage festivities of Prince Kaluba, the brother of
His Highness the Ráo. Many exhibits were expected
to come, but only 250 were classified. The Show was
an improvement on that held last year. The exhibits in the Remount class
were a very middling lot. There were some good youngsters, all the produce of
Government sires " Despatch " and " Gáikwár ",
both Norfolk Trotter stallions. I inspected
the marginally noted stallions and found them in
good condition, with the exception of " Torna ",
who was suffering from chronic disease of the
testicles. I recommended him to be castrated and sold as useless for stud
purposes. Only 4 mares were branded for horse.
