racing, hunting and kindred subjects, have been 
essued from the publishing houses of Europe 
at the rate of about two per month. During 
the ten years 1886-95 upwards of 232 such 
works were issued, and there has been no per- 
ceptible decrease during the last four years. 
Onder these circumstances an apology for 
adding to the mass of literature on the Horse 
seems almost NeCESSAVY.
