I must here make a remark that can be applied to most of the 
horses of this company. This horse No. 34 has been a victim to 
hard work. I remember well that he could have been kept alive 
but for the brutality of the superintendent, who wanted all con¬ 
valescent horses to work before they were able to stand any 
fatigue. Thus the frequent relapses and gradual ruin were caused, 
until death relieved the poor victims; while otherwise they might 
have been Anally cured by suflicient rest and a continued treat¬ 
ment.
