By the death of Me, James Maetin, the Council have lost '^''^ ^^^^ 



Mr. James 

 a valued Colleague, and the Society a staunch supporter. Martin. 



Me. Maetin was thoroughly interested in its work, and any 



practical suggestion for extending its operations or promoting 



its objects received his warm support and sympathy. 



Me. Maetin's duties as Steward terminated at the close 

 of the present show, and Majoe G. C. Eicaedo has kindly 

 consented to undertake the duties of the office. 



This report of the Society's w^ork at its own Shows and in 

 co-operation with the Country Societies, demonstrates that the 

 Council are promoting not only the breeding of Hunters, but 

 are encouraging Farmers and Breeders to send their Brood 

 Mares to the best available Sires, and are thus improving the 

 horses throughout the country, but they look to members to 

 assist them to extend the scope of the operations by inducing 

 all interested in their work to join the Society. 



By order of the Council, 



A. B. CHARLTON,
