MARES. 



MARES BRED TO DIFFERENT CLASSES OF STALLIONS. 



The public meeting at Lansdowre on October 31st, was well attended, 

 considering the weather, and other adverse conditions; about 25 or 30 men, 

 principally stallion owners being in. attendance. The discussion was very 

 good. 



The following resolution was adopted: "That stallions in the county be 

 inspected by a competent Inspector, and that all stallion owners whose 

 horses do not pass inspection be given one year to dispose of them, and, 

 after that date, all stallions that are advertised for service must be reg- 

 istered and pass inspection as to conformation, soundness and freedom 

 from transmissable defects." This was carried by a vote of nine for, to four 

 against. The others did not vote. 



In addition to the motions favoring inspection and registration passed 

 at the Lansdowne meeting, the opinions obtained from prominent horse 

 breeders and others interested in horses residing near Brockville all tend 

 to show the Governmental registration would be welcomed by them as 

 tending to improve the quality of the horses in this county.
