CAVALBV HORSES. 



84.T 



committee judges impartially and as accurately as possible the horses 

 which are presented to them, and that they pay for a horse what he is 

 worth from a military point of view. 



" A horse may, in fact, have considerable commercial value for a 

 heavy team, or as a coach-horse, and still not be suitable for the cavalry, 

 or onlv be a verv ordinary saddle-horse. Ao;ain, a beautiful saddle- 

 horse may be more valuable for the remount than for commerce. These 

 differences are of importance, and, while seeking to approximate to 

 the mercantile value of the animal, we should not forget the use for 

 which he is reserved. . . .
