Two of the old horses purchased thirteen years ago have died
during the year, and another was ordered to be slaughtered. Another
was sold by auction for eight guineas. Four horses were purchased
during the year, and it is worthy of record that at the London Cart
Horse Parade, at Regent's Park 011 Whit Monday last, the Shire
Horse Society awarded the Yestry, in respect of one of the new horses
" Beauty," one of the Society's silver medals, offered for the ten best
single horses, irrespective of breed, at the Parade.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
