REPORT OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATION 



No. 65 



GRENVILLE. 



Wolford township has n (thing but grade stallions, and they are a poor 

 lot, out of the seven, five being practically unsound and others -not in very 

 good shape. The breeding represented is, Roadsters, three; French, two; 

 Clydesdale, one; and Coach, one. The cheapest fee is $5, and highest flO. 

 Mares are a poor class of nondescript breeding, not over 1,000 Ibs. in 

 weight. 



There are ten stallions in Oxford township and of these, three, an im- 

 ported Shire, an imported Cleveland Bay, and a German Coach horse are 

 pure-bred and fair horses. One of the grades is well up in years. Four 

 grades and a registered sire are unsound. General average conformation 

 is just fair, and fees are the same as in Wolford township. Mares, too, are 

 no better than in that section. 



The two stallions, an imported Shire and a grade Roadster, in South 

 Gower are sound or practically so, but not of a high average as regards con- 

 formation and quality. They have a uniform service fee of $10. Mares 

 are poor in quality and light in weight. 



Not much can be said about the quality of the stallions in Augusta town- 

 ship or of their conformation. Five of the nine are sound, and four of the 

 lot are pure-bred, including two imported Clydesdales. There are four of 

 Clydesdale breeding, including two grades, and five are Standard-breds 

 three being grades. Fees seem pretty uniform in Grenville county from 

 $5 to $10. 



There are eleven sires in Edwardsburgh township, but only one pure- 

 bred and two grades are rated as good, two being very good in conforma- 

 tion. The rest are below the average, and three are unsound or practically 

 so. As in the other townships stud fees range from $5 to $10. As regards 

 breeding, there are one imported and two grade Clydesdales, two grade 

 Hackneys, one registered and four grade Star; dard-breds, and a French 

 grade.
