around Whitby. Mr. Burdett-Coiitts got her from Mr. (now 

 Sir) A. E. Pease, wlio formerly had a stud of Clevelands at his 

 place, Pinehinthorpe Honse, near Gnisborough, and who has 

 always consistently supported the breed. Among the stallions 

 the latter owned were Reform, a horse of exceptionally dark 

 colour for a, Cleveland Bay, but of the purest breeding, Bay 

 Benedict, Rampage, and Leatherhack. Two other foundation 

 mares at Brookfield also came from the Pinehinthorpe House 

 stud. These were Policy, a Cleveland, and Bayonet, a coaching 

 mare, which both ranked as leading prize-winners in Yorkshire 

 some thirty years ago. 



Amongst the principal breeders of Clevelands at the present 

 day are Mr. George Elders, Mr. G. Scoby, Mr. F. H. Stericker, 

 Mr. John Lett, Mr. Welford, and Mr. J. H. Tyreman, all being 

 well-known exhibitors at shows. Several of the leading 

 Cleveland breeders also breed Coach Horses, and indeed are 

 among the breed's chief supporters, a fact which shows how 

 closely the interests of the two varieties are in some respects 

 linked together. Mr. Elders, of Toft House Farm, Aislaljy, a 

 Avell-known farmer in the Whitby district, admittedly owns 

 one of the best strains of Clevelands there are to-day, and has 

 been continuously successful in the show-ring. He commenced 

 breeding them some twenty-three years ago, his chief founda- 

 tion mare upon which the strain has principally been built up 

 being the famous Lady Stainthorpe, now quite old, which used 

 to be prominent at the shows in the nineties. She has bred 

 some excellent stock, including Hawthorn Hero, who took 

 second at the Royal at Norwich last year, and she is the 

 granddam of that fine mare Ai.slahy Beauty (re-named Hin- 

 derwell Beauty), which has of recent years been very 

 successfully shown. The last is now owned by Mr. Tyreman, 

 of Pond Farm, Hinderwell. Among the more notable Cleve- 

 lands latterly bred by Mr. Elders was Ha/vthorn Beauty, by 

 Rosedale out of Aislahy Beauty. She is a mare of outstanding 

 merit, and of such great quality that she would readily pass as a 

 coaching mare. She won at the Royal in '10 and '11, and was 

 subsequently sold for a good price to go to South Africa where 

 she will assuredly prove a good advertisement for the breed. 



An important stud of Cleveland Bays and Yorkshire Coach 

 Horses is that of Mr. George Scoby at Beadlam Grange, 

 Nawton. King George the Fifth, who is one of the leading 

 Cleveland sires of the present time, stands here. There are 

 also several small breeders of coaching stock in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Nawton which lies near Kirby Moorside. This 

 district was at one time an important centre for the two breeds, 

 and some old-time Kirby Moorside breeders possessed very 

 good strains of Clevelands, but that breed lost ground here —
