 and character and beautifully marked. He never 

 met Sir David in competition in the showring, al- 

 though both were in the yard at Ludlow at the same 

 time, but in different classes. When Lord Berwick 

 decided to buy Walford he afterwards said it was

 Pembridge was kept and used by Mr. Price in his 

 sire's place. This view seems to be confirmed by 

 other facts Sir David 2d (1065) being a case in 

 point. John Hewer had quite a lot of big well bred
