A remit from the Association- that a standard height should be fixed for remounts for the mounted infan- ,' try -o!f the TOininjQii aroused some inter•est. iit the Agricultural Conference on Thursday. Mr J. C. Wilson suggested th&t General Godley might have some, recommendation on the subject. The Commandant was accordingly rung up, and Implied that he would be unable through a prior engagement to attend the conference, but he would like to say that he preferred a smallish horse from 14.3 to 15.2 for mounted rifle purposes.
