" HOME OF REST FOR HORSES. "

go Tax EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—At the request of some of the kind contributors to the Horse-Purchase Fund of the Home of Rest for Horses, I have great pleasure in announcing that in response to my letter of December 17th which appeared in your columns, I have received 245, which I have invested this week in the purchase of three horses, for which I have four or five applicants already. I would specially wish to acknowledge the following dona- tions :—Mrs. Myddleton, £15; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sassoon, £5; Mr. Parr, 25; Mrs. Hicks, a 3s. ; Mr. Lang. worthy, 133; Mrs. Theobald, £1; Miss Paktul, £1; Mrs. Buckle, £1; Mrs. Walton, 21 10s.; Mrs. Pelham, £1; Mrs. James, 21; Colonel Parr, 10s.; Mrs. Thornly, 10s. ; Mrs. D. W. Logic, 10s.; Mrs. Caldwell, 10s., and many smaller sums. I am deeply grateful for this most generous response, and feel emboldened to make one more request. Should any of your readers have a light cart, gig, stanhope, or, in fact, almost any light vehicle for one horse, that and a set of single harness are greatly needed at the " Home " for trying and exercising horses, and would be most thankfully received, if no longer of use to its owner.—I am, Sir, 20 Westbourne Park, W., January 2nd.
