238 THE ARAB THE HORSE OF THE FUTURE 



gray brought out of a Hungarian drove, and Plevna, 

 one of the stud mares, ten years old, bred in the 

 South of France, her sire being one of the Arabs 

 belonging to the French Government stud near Pau. 

 This description gives additional proof as to the 

 extent to which the Arab is now being generally used, 

 and the passage as to his stopping, turning, and 

 twisting in full career calls attention to what General 

 Tweedie writes of this power, as shown in India, 

 with either a running or charging boar in front of 

 him. So far as regards the polo stud of the Hon. 

 Mrs. Ives, it would seem that all its excellence is 

 really owing to its Arab blood.
