I mention this fact, since it may not only be in- 

 teresting to the reader, but may serve to impress 

 upon him the reason why pillar-reins should be

The cleaning articles required by a groom are 

 but few in number, but they should be good of 

 their kind. They are as follows : 



Body-brush. 



Water ditto. 



Dandy ditto. 



Curry-comb. 



Mane ditto. 



Two sponges — one large, one small. 



Hoof-pick. 



Three rubbers. 



Two chamois leathers. 



Burnisher. 



Soap (common yellow r ).

Clipping machine. 



Singeing-lamp. 



Pair of scissors.
