COUNT ITO INJURED.
While on liis recent visit to Australia L. H. Hewitt purchased that good horse Count Ito for a patron of his stable in India. Writing to a friend in Melbourne, Hewitt saj's that Count Ito had a very rough passage across. "He's alive, but that is aboot all. During the trip he was so badlv injured that they contemplated giving him a bullet. They did not have the authority, otherwise they might have acted. When I first saw him he was in a very sorry state. He looked badly knocked about and was marked by cuts and scars. He is now in a veterinary hospital, but Jβ making slow progress."
