POLICE-TROOP HORSES
A FUTURE POSSIBILITY. The possibility of the Police Department breeding its own. troop horses i is hinted at bv the Commissioner ot Holme (Mr. W. M. Mcllveney) in his annual report to Parliament. . “Horses have ever played a prominent part in the operation of the Police Department,”. the Commisisoner states. “Though their sphere of usefulness hus been cut. by the introduction of motorcars and motor-cycles, they still are a necessity, and will continue to be so for a long time. In handling crowds they are invaluable. Of recent years there has been difficulty in obtaining suitable remounts, and it is not unlikely that in the not distant future the Department will find it necessary to provide for a stud farm, and breed the class of troop horses required by it.”
