Half-bred  Horses  for  Field  or  Road : 
cheap  horses,  of  all  sorts  and  kinds,  to  save  a guinea  or  two. 
which  unfortunately  is  often  done,  although  the  majority  of 
breeders — and  they  are  many — well  know  it  is  more  profitable 
and  cheaper  in  the  end  to  rear  a good-bred  colt  than  a bad  one. 
The  time  is  advancing,  and  some  measures  must  now  be  taken, 
and  I hope  I may  he  able  to  tell  you  of  success.  Any  informa- 
tion as  to  hiring  or  buying  would  be  most  acceptable.  I think 
if  an  individual  or  a company  had  the  capital  to  buy  or  hire 
a good  horse  for  this  district  a good  investment  could  be  made, 
and  no  money  difficulties  arise.  The  Cart-horse  Society  will  do 
infinite  good.  Hoping  you  will  find  the  expression  of  my 
opinions  of  some  small  use, 
“ I remain,  yours  very  sincerely,
