Strength of English War Horses In
the Days of Henry VIII.


The size OF the English war horse
reached its maximum in the reign OF
Henry VIII, when the relations OF
body armor to "hsnd guns" were anal
ogous TO those Of the early ship armor
and cannon. There was good reason to
believe. says the London Spectator,
that by adding little to the thickness
of the coat OF steel the soft, low We
Iocjty bullet Of the day could be
kept out So II was for a time. BUT
the additional weight required sun
larger horse to carry il. The charger
had 10 be armored as well as his rider,
and the collection In the Tower OF Lon
don shows the actual weight which 1t
carried. The panoply Of Charles Bran
don Duke OF Suffolk. the brother-in-
law OF Henry VIII. still exists. That
NJ the horse covers the whole OF the
hind quarters. the back Of the neck,
forehead. muzzle, ears. shoulders and
chest. 1t is exactly like a piece or
boiler plating and fastened by rivets.
The rider sat In a saddle, the front
of which was a steel shield ten incnes
high, covering the stomach and thighs
as the "bresstwork" on an ironclads
deck covers the base Of the turret. The
total weight Is eighty pounds fifteen
ounces. TO this add the weight OF the
riders armor, ninety-nine pounds nine
ounces, and Of the rider himself, say
sixteen stone t224 pounds. and the to-
tai is twenty light stone twelve pounds
eight ounces, or 404 pounds 8 ounces.
This bears out Holinshead's statement
that in the days Of Henry WILL "whc
erected q noble studderie for breeding
horses. especially the greatest sort,
such as were kept for burden, those AMI
mails would bear four hundredweisht
commonly.

therefore the Y. M. CA. campaigners
were not greatly discouraged when
the reports Mt headquarters last night
showed that the results OF the days
work had not been large in compari.
son with the totals for the rest OF
the week. The campaign for $25 900
las been In progress just nine days
and the amount subscribed, including
the Huntington donation is S19,203.5O,
so the average OF $1,000 per day has
been maintained.
Now comes the rub. No work can
be done today and, In order to raise
the $4,000 necessary to complete the
fund during the next six days, an
average of $1,000 per day must be
maintained beginning tomorrow. This
means that hard work is ahead, for
the campaigners have no idea of fail
ing Another thousand dollars will
guarantee the securing OF the ,Egnt-
ington donation and make alt tho
pledges binding but 1t Is very neces.
sary that the amount agreed upon
should be reached.
Tomorrow night, In order that time
may be saved, a buffet luncheon will
be served to the campalgners at head
quarters at z o'clock. The men may
work up to the last moment and then
go to headquarters for lunch and to
report. :
Especially good work was done by
one or two OF the teams of younger
men yesterday, Most Of the members
OF all the teams and committees were
busy during the day. however. and
little campaigning was done.
