REPORT OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATION 



No. 65 



Essex Continued. 



Colchester North has a somewhat similiar list of sires, viz., three 

 Clydesdales, a Thoroughbred, a Percheron, nd a Roadster, with ages from 

 4 to 16 years. The standard, too, is not as high as it should be, with one 

 exception. Two of the horses were far advanced in years. The mares seen 

 were fair in quality, averaging 1,150 Ibs., and are inclined to the draught 

 type, with some Roadsters and Percherons. In number they are about 800, 

 and their average age is 8 years.
