274 SOME YORKSHIRE SHORTHORNS. 



Mr. Darrell has a very lively recollection of 

 judging Cleveland Bays and Coach Horses at 

 the Cleveland Show at Yarm, with Mr. 

 Outhwaite for a colleague, and says that the 

 work was more expeditiously done than ever he 

 remembered, though whether it was entirely to 

 the satisfaction of those concerned is perhaps 

 doubtful. Notwithstandinof the numerous and 

 well filled classes which came before them they 

 managed to get through their duties in about an 

 hour and a half 



" That's first, that's second, and that's third," 

 was Mr. Outhwaite's verdict as the horses walked 

 round the ring ; and all Mr. Darrell's expostu- 

 lations were unavailing. " We should see them 

 trot, we can't judge them this way," said he, but 

 Mr. Outhwaite would have his own way, and 

 replied " Hoot, man, its easy enough to do, ah 

 always shuts* 'em fleeing." 



The Bainesse sale in 1876 caused a great deal 

 of excitement, especially in Bichmond and the 

 neighbourhood. Buyers came from all parts of 

 the country, and the greatest expectations were 

 raised that sensational prices would be obtained. 

 Those expectations, however, were fated not to be 

 realised, and although an useful average was 

 made, it was not considered a high one in those 

 days. This was, in a great measure, to be 

 attributed to Mr. Outhwaite's remissness in not 

 - Shoot.
