HORSE SOCIETIES. 



In England and Scotland numerous 

 organisations have been formed for the 

 purposes of not only encouraging the 

 breeding of horses, but with a view to 

 advancing the standard of the different 

 varieties of horses. For this purpose 

 Stud Books have been compiled, 

 wherein the Registration of Birth, Pedi- 

 gree, etc., is contained. The following
