APPENDIX II 245 



F. S. Thompson, Esq., Warrawagine, Condon, North- 

 western Austraha, who purchased Kazim, writes : 



* Kazim continues to give us satisfaction ; as quiet as 

 ever, and absolutely no vice. His young stock are doing 

 well, and are satisfactory, those out of thoroughbred 

 mares being especially good.' 



E. P. Quinn, Esq., of Tarella, Wilcannia, New South 

 Wales, who purchased Assad, writes : 



' Assad is growing into a fine horse ; a nice shape, with 

 really good legs, and bone like steel. His temper is all 

 that could be desired. A more docile animal was never 

 foaled, and yet he is full of fire and spirit.' Mr. Quinn 

 afterwards purchased Adban,and subsequently, in inquiring 

 what others were for sale, January i, 1904, writes : ' I 

 am very pleased with the few Assads that I have. They 

 are nearly three years old now, and are all that could be 

 desired. They are handsome and very sturdy. Assad 

 has stamped his stock very much after himself. Adban's 

 stock are faultless as foals. I have nineteen head of as 

 handsome foals by him as I would ever wish to see.' He 

 has since bought a third (without seeing him), a youngster. 



Mr. Creed, of Cecilwood, Rockhampton, July 4, 1903, 

 of Barak (then just arrived at Rockhampton), writes : 



' I think him a very handsome colt, and should make a 

 very perfect horse. Everyone that has seen him thinks 

 him a fine colt. ... I am sure there will be no such 

 horse in looks, style, etc., about here. I am very pleased 

 with him.' 



Mr. T. H. Pearce, of the Katherine, wiring the safe 

 arrival of Ibrahim and Joktan at the station, June, 1904, 

 says : 



' They give every satisfaction, and I am delighted with 

 them.' 



J. W. Brougham, Esq., of Poolamacca Station, Broken 

 Hill, New South Wales, who purchased Abdallah : 



' Abdallah's stock promise well. They are beautifully 

 topped with a fine carriage. His disposition is wonder-
