Above these there are still two grades of heavy horses. The first are those used for ordinary draft purposes, and are commonly found drawing the omoibuses of Patia, where such vehicles are still in use. These weigh from 1,100 to nearly 1,500 lb.

Between these extremes of impossible illu- ion (which, indeed, one has not the right to expect of any place or people) and of uncom promising reality stands the city of Kyato, than which no more charming or typical piece of Japanese life could be found.

The heaviest horses are the Clydesdales and Percherons, which are oxen in zizand strength, and which weigh from 630 to 800, and some ames even up to 9zo'kilogrammes, that is, from

None of these Percherons of the heaviest weight ata used in the military service, but some of the lighter ones are employed for draft and artillery purposes.
