28. I then arranged for my tour in Sind, and went and branded 30 mares
for horse, 45 for pony, 8 for donkey, and rejected 200
at Lárkhána on the 8th of December. I inspected
the stallions noted in the margin, and found them in
good condition.

1891.
29. From Lárkhána I proceeded to Rádhan and

Jacobabad, 4th January
1892.
30. At Jacobabad on the 4th of January 1892
I branded 33 mares for horse, 29 for pony, 15 for don-
key, and rejected 60.
Thul, 6th January 1892.
31. From here I marched to Thul in the same district and brand-
ed 8 mares for horse, 32 for donkey and rejected
40.
Shikárpur, 8th to 14th
January 1892.
32. My next duty was to attend the Shikárpur
Horse Show, which was held on the second Monday in
January 1892.
33. Although the number of exhibits was not as large as the last year, yet
the quality was superior. The decrease in the number was attributed to the
scarcity of fodder in two tálukas of the Upper Sind Frontier District.
34. The Remount Class was well attended. The quality was superior to
that of the last two years. Only 52 purchases have been made against 162 in
1890 and 147 in 1891. Many purchases were made some time before the show
by the local regiments and Remount Department, and therefore the number of
purchases made in the show must be smaller. One mule was purchased during
the show, but it is believed 29 were purchased after the show was over.
