and even sooner with a 27-inch hmit. The height Hmit has 

 given place to a weight Hmit because it has more variable 

 factors. Both height and weight are recorded in the log, 

 one or the other since 1897, and both since 1907. The 

 record pig in height (35 J inches) weighed 200 lbs. (in March), 

 and the record pig in weight (282 lbs.) measured 32 inches 

 (in January) . 



The Club is run by an Hon. Sec, who is responsible to a 

 Committee (of which he is one) composed mostly of Senior 

 Officers.

FYZABAD TENT CLUB 



All I know for the present is their best bag of recent 

 years was last year, when they got 60 pig between Easter 

 and the beginning of July, averaging 5 or 6 spears a meet, 

 and about the same number of regular spears for the season. 

 During the preceding four years the bag was each year 

 below 20, owing to the amount of high grass and the 

 difficulty of raising spears. They have been beginning 

 their season late, but this year we hope to have no difficulty 

 in beginning at Christmas. What the bag used to be in 

 old days, the history of the Tent Club, and the history and 

 record of the Grants, I cannot get hold of till I get at the 

 books, and get at the Collector's office. There are un- 

 doubtedly grants of land where the cover belongs to the 

 Tent Club and cannot be cut without their sanction. I 

 believe a lot of them are in the Rajah of Ajudiya's estate. 

 He is now a minor and in the hands of the Court of Wards, 

 and I ought to be able to get hold of them all right.

JHANSI TENT CLUB 



The log in 1901 opens : " There is no Tent Club in 

 Jhansi because there is no pig-sticking. The ground is
