Rahata, 20th August 1891.
12. At Rahata on the 20th of August I branded
4 mares for horse and 14 for pony.
Kopargaon, 21st August 1891.
13. I next went to Kopargaon and branded 16 mares for pony. I in-
spected the pony stallion "Glendale" and found him
suffering from skin disease, and I recommended treat-
ment, &c., and the pony was cured.
Málegaon, 30th August 1891.
14. Thence I proceeded to Málegaon in the Násik
District and branded 58 mares for pony and rejected
100. The mares were a poor lot.
15. I inspected the Government stallion "Cruiser" and found him in
excellent condition.
Nándgaon. 31st August 1891.
16. From here I marched to Nándgaon in the same district and branded
51 mares for pony and rejected 310. The mares were
a poor lot. The pony stallion "Cyclone" was in good
condition.
Chálisgaon. 1st September
1891.
17. My next visit was to Chálisgaon in the Khándesh District where
I branded 66 mares for pony. Here I inspected the
Government stallion "Pinto" and found him in good
condition.
Dhulia, 2nd September 1891.
18. From here I went to Dhulia and branded 33 mares for pony and
rejected 47. I found the stallion "Torpedo" in good
condition.
Poona, 16th to 22nd Sep-
tember 1891.
19. My next duty was to assist at the Poona Horse Show. The show was
not so successful as in former years. This may be
accounted for by the scarcity of forage and disinclina-
tion of breeders to bring their animals to the show
owing to expense.

20. During the show 20
mares were branded for horse
and 3 for pony. I inspected
the stallions noted in the mar-
gin and found them in excellent
condition.
Quetta, 29th September to
4th October 1891.
21. I attended the Horse Show held here on the 2nd and 3rd of Octo-
ber 1891. This was the second show. The show was
a better one, and I am of opinion that with a little
encouragement from the Government of India it would
be a decided success, and its stability assured. The prizes for the next show
must be increased.
22. A large number of horses and young stock was purchased by the
Officers Commanding 7th Bombay Lancers, the 2nd Bengal Lancers, the
Zhob Levies and the Remount Agent, Punjab.
23. During the show I branded 15 mares for horse and rejected 20. I
also inspected the stallions in Beluchistán and found them in good condition.
24. Thence I returned to Ahmednagar. On my way here I inspected the
stallions at Ahmedabad and found the English horse "Cottenham" in very poor
condition, and recommended the man in charge to subject him to a course of
tonic medicine and a total change of diet.
25. On the 9th, 10th and 11th there was a Horse Show at Ahmednagar, but
I was unable to attend it owing to sickness, and Veterinary Surgeon Sharp acted
for me. I learn from him that the show was a successful one.

26. All the stallions in the
district as per margin were assem-
bled for my inspection, and I found
them in good condition. At this
time I transferred "Clipper" to
Karjat.
27. Rajkot Horse Show was fixed to be held on the 20th of November, but
it was postponed on account of scarcity of fodder, &c., in Káthiáwár.
