The Board, believing that nothing further could be ac- 

 complished without extensive personal practice in this sys- 

 tem, adjourned March I5th.

Respectfully submitted to the Secretary of War. 



The report of this Board shows that Mr. de Bussigny's 

 methods could be best employed if understood by officers. 

 I know of no place where they could be carried into effect 

 except at the Military Academy, where instruction in riding 

 and horse management is now given to cadets who subse- 

 quently become commissioned officers, and I therefore rec- 

 ommend that his services be obtained for that post.

Lieutenant-General, Commanding.
