The successful competitors had the choice of a Gold Medal 

 01" £5 and a Bronze Medal, and twelve chose the former, while 

 fifteen preferred the latter award. 



At the Bath Horse Show no award was made, as the first, 

 second, third and Eeserve Mares were all debarred by reason 

 of their previous wins of the Hunters' Improvement Society's 

 Medals and Premiums. From the same cause, the Medal at 

 seven of the Shows went to the second Mare ; at two it was 

 awarded to the third in order of merit ; while in one instance 

 the Reserve animal was the recipient of the Society's medal. 



The total cost to the Society of the 1892 scheme was 

 £150 2s. , 



During the current year the Council have decided to offer 2393 

 Medals for the best Hunter Brood Mare, in foal to or with Shows.
