FIFTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IV 241 



Next him stood Carbon 2d, by Carnot, a very pretty sort with quality to 

 spare. Keota Idea and Navarre, sons of Honorable and Gavail respectively, 

 were both good types and filled their positions acceptedly. 



Carnante and Folito 2d, two excellent daughters of Carnot, wore the 

 blue and red in the filly division. The former is a heavier-boned filly, 

 heavier muscled and better in fore pasterns, but many of the ringside 

 preferred the second-prize filly because of her sweetness of head and 

 neck, flatter bone, and neater joints. Neva, by Fier-a-Bras, has excellent 

 quality and is a high-class kind in every way. The same is true in 

 slightly less degree of Helen Helix, placed fourth. Jalap's daughter, 

 Maple Grove Snowball, a gray with plenty of bone and excellent type, but 

 a bit plain about the head, stood fifth. Hazel Helix was sixth, with 

 another Carnot filly in seventh position. 



THE BELGIANS. 



The yearling classes were not quite up to the remainder of the Belgian 

 show. Irvinedale Jean, by Danube, is a nice roan, the cleanest-cut type 

 in the class, with a good top line and a pleasing walk. Prince Imperial, 

 son of Robuste de Thalie, is a very rugged sort. A' very large colt. Prize 

 Winner, stood third, with the bay, Orderly, alongside. The latter had 

 the best feet and the most correct way of going of anything in the class, 

 but his top is a bit plain. Frenchy is a younger, smaller colt, and Bour- 

 don 2d is slightly deficient in amount of bone. 



Jolie de Thimeon 2d, daughter of Bourdon, a filly with plenty of size, 

 good feet and ample bone, stood first. Lili, by Comet, is a very wide one 

 of the extra-drafty sort. Irvinedale Minnie in third position was the best 

 in action and has lots of quality. Lack of size kept Irvinedale Viola in 

 fourth place, and Anna 2d would have gone higher than fifth except for 

 a temporary blemish. 



THE SHIRES. 



The Shire futurities were surprisingly good shows. Fleetwood Laddie, 

 sired by Saltfleet Dray King, is best at the ground, has faultness bones, is 

 grandly topped and moves more truly and easily than the others. Royal 

 Moors, son of Royal Grey, stood second. He is in thin flesh, but is strictly 

 a good one. Royal Pilot is a rugged, grandly-topped colt, and Paramount 

 Milton was placed above Sylvia King because of his greater size and 

 better quality. 



The fillies were headed by Royal Jolly, sired by Royal Grey. She is 

 very stylish, with a strictly feminine head and neck, bone and feather of 

 quality, and stands and moves right. Princess Beauty 2d has more bone 

 than the winner and is modeled after a wider pattern, but was well placed 

 in second position. Blandina has excellent quality and correctly-set limbs. 

 Favorite Duchess and Marie Brilliant followed in close order. 



THE CLYDESDALES. 



What was declared to be the best ring of yearling Clydesdale stallions 

 ever seen in the United States furnished such close running that Pro- 

 fessor Kennedy was called in to referee between the first two colts, upon 

 which the two regular judges disagreed. Hope's Prince, by Baron's Hope,
