606 Report on the Live Stock exhibited at Bedford, 



Class 21. — The same observation applies here, but No. 214, 

 Mr. Plowright's grey colt, is worthy of special notice. 



Class 22 contained several good fillies, Nos. 228 and 229 

 approaching very near the winners. 



Class 23. — This class contained several magnificent pairs. 

 The three pairs sent by Mr. Brierley, including the well-known 

 and matchless " Sensation " and " Tommy Dodd," with the 

 winners, were worthy of the admiration they elicited. 



Class 24 contained only a moderate lot. 



Class 25. — The winner of the first prize in this class by 

 " Dalesman " shows blood and moves fairly. He is rather 

 leggy, but, if he thickens, will be a showy horse. The second- 

 prize colt is small and plain, but No. 245, another " Dalesman," 

 is, perhaps, the largest thoroughbred 2-year-old that was ever 

 seen ; his future is, of course, a complete speculation. 



Class 26 was not well filled. The winner. No. 254, was a 

 fine big mare, but did not show the breeding of No. 252, who 

 took the second prize, and was a nice long, low filly. 



Class 27. — This was a good class. The winner of the first 

 prize was a fine showy trotter, and a good-topped colt ; but he 

 turned his toes out, and looked to have weak pasterns. Lord 

 Spencer's " Dalesman " colt looked like making a Leicestershire 

 hunter, with power and size enough to carry his Lordship with 

 the Pitchley. Mr. J. B. Booth's " Berwick " will make a weight- 

 carrying hunter, and the same gentleman's " Baldersby " is very 

 neat, and went as well as anything in the class, and his manners 

 were perfect. 



Class 28. — With the exception of the first and second prize- 

 winners this was a poor class. No. 274 was a powerful mare ; 

 she galloped well, but was not a good walker. No. 276 

 (" Rosebud ") showed more blood, and looked like going fast. 



Class 29. — This was a good class of 4-year-olds. The winners 

 of the first and second prizes were powerful animals, and moved 

 well ; but " Cornishman," although the best-looking of the lot, 

 does not use his shoulders as he ought, and did not appear to 

 relish the hard ground. " Reindeer," No. 283, is a slashing 

 goer, perhaps the finest galloper in the yard. He is high on the 

 leg, and has a slight enlargement on one hock, which might 

 have deprived him of a place. No. 292 brought no discredit 

 to his sire, "Dalesman;" and No. 298 looked like making a 

 hunter. 



Class. 30. — In this class the "Jester" was first, as he was 

 at Alexandra Park, where he beat " Joe Bennet." He is by 

 " Laughing-Stock," and, like his sire, all over a gentleman. 

 No. 310 is a weight-carrier, but does not show the same quality, 

 and appears rather too wide before to ride quite pleasantly.
