cultural Hall last March, under the auspices of the Royal Commis- 
sion on Horse Breeding, of the Hunters’ Improvement and Hackney 
Horse Societies, and of this Society, the Society’s three Premiums 
of 200?. each (with Gold Medals provided by the Warwick Local 
Committee), for Thoroughbred Stallions serving mares in District 
F during the present season, were awarded to Mr. E. G. Crowhurst’s 
Jnst-in-Time, Lord Tredegar’s Lord Molynoo, and Mr. J. C. 
Harford’s Raineses. These stallions, which will be exhibited at the 
Society’s Country Meeting at Warwick from the morning of Monday, 
June 20, to the evening of Wednesday, June 22, are located for the 
season As follows : — Jnst-in-Time at Leamington ; Lord Molynoo at 
the Stud Farm, Coedkernew, near Newport, Mon. ; and Raineses at 
Ludlow, Leominster, and Hereford. The Council consider that 
the time has now arrived when these premiums should be pro-

Horse Breeding, and they have therefore resolved to discontinue 
the grant of 600?., which for the last few years they have annually 
given for this purpose.
