of the winners. The winning foal in Class 37 was from the 

 fii'st prize heavy-weight mare. The breeding classes were 

 (lecideilly good, and the light-weight brood mares excellent. 



Hunter Ridings Classes. — Class 38 was weak, and contained 

 nothing of special merit. The winner in Class 39 was a nice 

 horse but otherwise this class, like the previous one, was weak. 

 Although containing nothing of outstanding merit, Class 40 was 

 fairly good, and a very useful lot of horses were found in 

 Class -41. Class 42 contained many horses of high quality, and 

 was very good generally. The winners in Class 43 were of a 

 high standard, and this was also a very good class. In Class 

 44 the winner was an exceptionally good heavy-weight horse 

 that afterwards secured the Championship, and the second was 

 also a valuable animal. The class was a good one. 



The classes as a whole were good, and the show of light horses 

 in the Hunter section throughout was one of, if not the, best 

 seen at the " Royal." 



Polo and Riding Ponies. — In Class 4.5 the prize winners 

 were good, the first especially showing fine action and 

 quality. Class 46 was a good one, and included two nice colts 

 and a very useful mare. A very good filly headed an excellent 

 entry in Class 47, and was followed by some nice animals of 

 correct polo pony stamp. Class 48 was useful, the winner 

 being excellent. Two reallj' good l:)rood mares came forward 

 for Class 49, the winner being a fine mover. She was ex- 

 hibited with an exceptional foal by the stallion that won the 

 Championship. 



Cleveland Bays and Coach Horses. — Though small in num- 

 l)ers, tlie exhibits in Classes .54 and 55 lacked nothing in merit. 

 The majority of the animals shown were of the Cleveland Bay 

 type. Several of the winners were sold at the Show to go 

 al)road, including the winning brood mare and foal. This is a 

 matter for regret, as there are too few of her class in the coinitry. 

 It is expected that these breeds will make a show worthy of 

 their i-eputation at Doncaster in 1912. 



Hackneys. — In the classes for Hackneys the result of the 

 exhibitiovj must Lave proved extremely satisfactory to the 

 President, Council, and others connected with the Royal 

 Agricultural Society. At no period in the Society's existence 

 have the classes been so well filled, nor the quality of the 

 animals genei-ally so good. Many of the principal winners 

 at the leading shows of this year put in an api)ea]'ance, 

 and there were also a numl)ei" of new faces which wei-c bard 

 to Iteal. 



Hack 11 cy I'oiiies were lairly good as regards iiuiiilicrs, and 

 on the whole were a smart and dainty lot, most of tlieiii being 

 brimful of quality and extravagant goers.
