60. This year Lieutenant Hamilton had come from Multan to purchase
mules, which was a step in the right direction.
61. The show was a success both in number and quality.
62. During the show I branded 48 mares for horse, 38 for pony and 80
for donkey.

64. Also the
Shikápur stal-
lions were
assembled here,
as per margin,
and I found
them all in
good condition.
Shikárpur, 20th January
1891.
65. I next went to Shikárpur and branded 4 mares for horse and
3 for pony. The Mukhtiárkar of the place seems
to have taken very little trouble to collect the
mares.
Rádhan, 22nd January 1891.
66. Here I branded 1 mare for horse and 2 for pony. No pains were
taken to collect the mares. I did not see the Mukh-
tiárkar of the táluka nor any of his subordinates.
Lárkhána, 24th January 1891.
67. Here 13 mares were branded for horse and
13 for pony.
Rohri, 28th January 1891.
68. I proceeded here on the 28th, and out of the wretched lot presented
for my inspection, I branded 9 for pony and 3 for
donkey.
Mirpur, 29th January 1891.
69. At Mirpur 55 mares were brought in for my inspection and I brand-
ed 4 for horse and 41 for donkey. Many of the mares
were fit for mule-breeding.
Karáchi, 1st to 6th Feb-
ruary 1891.
70. From here I went to Karáchi and remained there till the 7th of
February, on which date I sailed for Mándvi. On
my way to Karáchi, I inspected the stallion "Sham-
mer" standing at Shewan in the Karáchi District and
found him in fair condition, but not well groomed. While at Karáchi, I was
engaged in my office work.
Mándvi, 8th and 9th Feb-
ruary 1891.
71. I arrived at Cutch Mándvi on the 8th
and inspected 23 mares and branded 8 for horse.
Bhúj, 10th to 14th February
1891.
72. There was a Horse Show at this time at Bhúj. About 151 animals
were exhibited at this show. The quality was superior
to that of last year. His Highness the Ráo of Cutch
takes great interest in horse-breeding operations; but
I should like to see the young stock by Government sires out of good mares
grow into larger and more suitable animals for remount purposes.
