OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



Pioneer. " In this little book there is no padding- or plagiarism ; 

 the writer is a master of his subject ; he draws from his own copious 

 Btores of abundant knowledge, and seems determined to carry out 

 the process of condensation to its utmost extent." 



The Saturday Review. " It is of course specially adapted to the 

 circumstances of that country [India] : but the general instructions 

 which it contain, and which are of a shrewd and practical character, 

 render it a useful guide in regard to horses anywhere." 



Oriental Sporting Magazine. " His intentions are truly sportsman- 

 like and praiseworthy, and, if carefully followed, ought to ensure the 

 attainment of a portion of that success in training which the author 

 himself has been renowned for. We congratulate Mr. Hayes on his 

 success in presenting to all lovers of horses, and to amateur trainers, 

 so useful a sketch of the true art of training in India." 



Some JVews." His book seems as complete and extensive as could 

 possibly be desired. Some of Captain Hayes' hints and suggestions 

 might, we should think, prove valuable even in this country, and in 

 India his book can hardly fail to meet with a warm welcome." 



Englishman. " It is the practical part of the book with referenceto 

 more ordinary matters connected with horses that makes it so useful."
