216 The JVorwich Show, 1911. 



Harness Horses. — The Harness classes were well filled, and 

 the animals competing thei'ein were, on the whole, a good and 

 level lot. At the same time, the winners comprised, for 

 action and qnality, some of the best in England. Severa 

 smart young horses put in an appearance, and won their 

 respective classes in good company. 



Shetland Ponies. — Class 81, for stallions, contained some 

 fine animals, the first and second prize winners being of 

 outstanding merit. They made a fine show with good straight 

 action and went with great style. In Class 82, for mares, there 

 were also some splendid animals. The first and second prize 

 winners were beautiful goers, and it needed very close 

 inspection to decide which was the better. 



Welsh Ponies. — Though the exhibits in this section were 

 few, they were of extra quality. Shooting Sta7\ who was 

 again awarded the first prize in the stallion class, is as near 

 perfection as can be, and when in motion a better or truei- 

 mover would be difficult to find. The second prize winner. 

 Grove Ballistite, a very sweet pony, made a nice show, but 

 was l)eaten by the winner for substance, style, and action. My 

 Brother, the bay pony which came third, is of a different type 

 from the other two greys. This animal may alter consider- 

 ably, as he is only a baby and a little too fine, although a 

 nice neat mover. Four different types were observed in the 

 brood mare ~class, Lady Starlight being a very easy winner. 

 8he is a good-looking pony and a sweet mover, her action 

 being light, straight, and on. Mountain Lass, a roan pony, 

 awarded the second prize, is one of the old fashioned sort. 

 She is getting on in years, and her back and action are not 

 so good as formerly, but she is still a good breeding animal. 

 The roan pony awarded the third prize is also a nice animal, 

 but could not move. There were only two exhibits in the 

 Riding class, the bay winner being a real beauty, that could 

 walk, trot, or canter at ease. 



Cattle. 



With the exception of the Gloucester Show of 190'.'. the 

 entries in the cattle classes were more numerous than at any 

 Show since the Jubilee Exhibition at Windsor in 1889. 



Much interest was evinced in the specimens of White 

 Polled Cattle ' sent " for exhibition only " by Mr. John Catoi", 

 M.P., from his herd at Woodbastwick, near Norwich. The 

 exhibits consisted of a four-year-old bull, a cow born in 1900, a 

 heifer calf boin in April, 1911, and twin calves — a l)ull and a
