Deesa, 17th December 1890.

50.    I inspected 29 mares and branded 2 for horse, 17 for pony and reject-
ed 10. Out of the mares selected for horse brand, Major
Elliot bought a very nice mare as a remount.

51.    I inspected the Government stallions "Cottenham" and "Majeeb"
and found them in excellent condition. "Cottenham" was transferred to
Ahmedabad in place of "Elzevier," and "Majeeb" was transferred to Kaira
in place of "Melton."

Palánpur, 19th December.

52. Here 53 mares were collected for my inspection and I branded 41
for horse and 9 for pony. The mares were a good
lot.

Mehmadabad, 21st December.

53. From here I went to Mehmadabad in the Kaira
District and branded 2 mares for horse and 12 for
pony.

Kaira, 22nd December.

54. At Kaira I inspected the Government stallion "Melton" and found
him in good health. I transferred him to Deesa.
Here 17 mares were brought in and 1 was branded
for horse, 14 for pony and rejected 2.

Ahmednagar, 29th December
1890 to 1st January 1891.

55.    My next duty was to assist at the Ahmednagar Horse Show held in
the last week in December. The show compares very
favourably with that of Poona: though the number of
exhibits was small, the quality was good. I think the

decrease in the number was owing to the uncertainty of having the show till
the last moment. A good many of the young stock of the district had been
bought by the Remount Depôt.

56.    During the show I branded 16 mares for horse and 19 for pony.

57. I inspected the stallions noted in the margin and found them in

good condition. The pony
stallion "Sailor Boy" was trans-
ferred to Shevgaon and the
pony stallion "Mystic" retained
at Ahmednagar.

Jacobabad, 9th to 17th
January 1891.

58. I attended the Horse Show held here in the second week of January
1891. In all 1,404 animals were exhibited. Many
of the exhibits belonged to the Beluchis of the Upper
Sind Frontier District.
