148 LONDON SHOW, 1893. 



Yearlings. Yearliugs. — These Classes were exceptionally good ; they 

 were well grown, good movers and showed plenty of 

 quality and substance ; this, combined with action, carries 

 weight. 



Two-year- Two-year-olds. — The same remarks apply to the Two-year-old 

 Three year Colts and Fillies, but when we came to the Three-year- 



ol^s. olds, though much pleased with the Fillies, we were 



on the whole disappointed with the Colts, both in point 



of numbers and quality. 



Four-year- Four-year-olds. — The Four-year-old Mares left the judges but 

 °^^^- little choice, as only six Mares appeared to compete for 



the five premiums offered. 



In concluding our remarks we would draw attention 

 to the great improvement in the young stock exhibited 

 since the Hunters' Improvement Society started, and we 

 would point out to breeders the advisability of using 

 Premium Stallions and well-bred Mares.

may be at once noted that though the amount oifered for 



competition last March was less than in 1892, the total entry 



showed an increase. 



The Classes for Mares were drafted on the basis of the 

 previous year, viz. five equal premiums of £15 (with £5 to the 

 breeders in all cases where the dams had been registered in 

 the Kecord of Hunter Mares and Sires) for four, three, and 

 two-year-old mares and yearling fillies. The Classes for three 

 and two-year-old geldings were thrown open to colts ; but only 

 one colt (and that a reserve number) received recognition at the
