PRESENTATION OF THE MEMORIAL 
experienced and distinguished writers, also recommend the cross 
of the Arab for half stock. Our best blood is derived from the 
Arabian ; and all must acknowledge that our horses formerly pos¬ 
sessed those very desirable qualities, stoutness and compactness, in 
a very eminent degree. Our present stock, too far removed from ■ 
the Eastern blood, is deficient in strength and durability; but the 
remedy is obvious. Let us go to the source whence our ancient 
superiority was derived, and we shall again look upon our horses 
with pride and pleasure.” (Loud cheers.)
