ANglF are not tied up, they become straight-legged, thick-set, powerful,
hardy little animals.
Mule-breeding is not making very rapid progress the prejudices
of the natives against it giving way but slowly Still there are
Ins of improvement: 99 mares were covered by the donkey
stallions in the year 1881, and the few mules resulting from the
coverings of 1880 excite a good deal of curiosity and interest.
Small prizes were given to all exhibitors of mule foals at the
horse show as an encouragement. In 1880 the number of mares
covered was only 37.
7 donkey stallions were employed during the year, and in

Horse Shows.
The number of horses exhibited at the Poona Horse Show
was 473 compared with 187 in 1880 and 271 in 1879. It is the
highest figure reached since the show was instituted^ and a
marked improvement was observed in the quality of the animals.
A large number of country-bred mares was exhibited suitable
for breeding, or in foal, or with foal at foot by a Government
stallion. The superiority of the produce of Government stallions
was apparent, and indicates that the measures of Government
to improve the breed of horses are bearing good fruit. Only 9
country-bred geldings were exhibited, and extra prizes were given
to encourage castration, which has not yet become popular. The
expenditure was Rs. 9,967, as a larger amount than usual was
awarded in prizes.
The cattle show which had been discontinued since 1876 was
revived in the year under report, but has not been very successful.
Only 66 cattle were exhibited, and their quality was not very
good.
The show at Sirur was very successful; the number of animals
exhibited being more than double the number exhibited at the
previous show, and the quality having improved. The number
of geldings was not large, but it is said that the practice of
castration is being extended. Mule-breeding has made a com
mencement, and 14 mares certified to have been covered by a
on ey stallion, and 2 promising mule foals were exhibited.
