HORSES.
During the past twelve months your staff of horses has been
greatly improved by the sale of some of the old horses and the
purchase of six fresh horses. The amount of illness generally ha???
been small, though, during the winter months, which has been a???
exceptionally bad winter for horses, we had several cases of pink-eye
which, unfortunately, resulted in the loss of two horses, one o???
which had only been the property of the Vestry about nine months
I am pleased to state that at the London Cart Horse Parade o???
Whit-Monday in Regent's Park, the three drivers who parade???
with their horses were each successful in obtaining a first prize
Various other particulars of the horses are given in the horse return
hereto annexed.
