In consequence of one of the present stud having been suddenly returned ill and unable to work, thus rendering the attendance of a veterinary surgeon indispensable, I am induced to appeal for the honorary assistance of one or two professional gentlemen on behalf of my little stud, as, of -course, the larger it becomes, the more it will be spread -about over London, and the more necessary it is to be able to turn for veterinary assistance in different directions should the need arise. My last appeal for the services of an honorary solicitor has been most kindly and fully responded to : may I hope to meet also the same prompt and cordial response to my present appeal on behalf of the horses when in suffering ? The demands made upon me to supply loan horses are greatly in excess of my resources, so that additional funds are 'urgently required. I have one or two cabmen in this neigh- bourhood I should be very glad to recommend for employment -as honest, deserving men, and employing them is at the same time helping them to pay for their horses, and thus enabling them to claim them all the sooner as their own property.-
