: Dnglishmen are giving great attention to
the breeding of hunters, polo ponies and |
troop horses. Large sums are being Of |
fered in prizes at the shows where ami
mails OF these classes appear, the especial |
object of the promoters being to create |
and encourage the production of stations |
capable of reproducing the desired class OF |
animals. As result of the South African
War English authorities agree that the
smallest horses of their particular breeds
always prove NOSE enduring and effective.
