INTRODUCTORY 



Sir : 



Since the issue of our last circular, the Haras 

 National Company have received a fresh consignment 

 of horses from France, and have completed their 

 splendid stable's at Outremont. ( See Engraving Page, ) 



Both stallions and mares of extraordinary excellence 

 are now to be seen in the stables of the Haras. Their 

 certificates of pedigree will promptly convince those 

 who are acquainted with the Norman and Percheron 

 Stud- Books of their racial superiority. We cordially 

 invite all connoisseurs in horseflesh to visit the 

 stables, which have been pronounced without rival in 

 the Dominion, and to there examine Percherons and 

 Normans, and assure themselves by personal inspec- 

 tion of the truth of our assertions. At Montreal they 

 will always find a carriage at their disposal to convey 

 them to Outremont. [The Office of the Haras is at 

 30 St. James Street.] 



We have received so many inquiries as to the history 

 of the equine races of La Perche and Normandy, that 

 we deem it advisable to give the required information, 

 which will he found further on, accompanied by the 

 judgments which some of the most distinguished 

 horse-breeders in the United States have pronounced 

 on these fine races. 



In urging you. Sir, to accept our invitation to visit 

 the Haras Stables, we would gladly have your opinion
