was first. Mr. George E. Elliot's " Iron Duke " was second, 
and Mr. William Byford's " Enterprise '' was reserved and 
commended. 
To continue the draught-horses I must pass on to Class 11, 
comprising Agricultural Mares other than Clydesdale or Suffolk. 
Here Mr. Lawrence Drew's " Countess " was unmistakably first. 
She is a brown mare, five years old, in foal to the celebrated 
" Prince of Wales ;"' well put together, and a good mover. 
Number two was " Dainty, ' belonging to the Earl of Ellesmere, 
a ten-year-old mare, in very high condition. !Mr. W. Wynn's 
"Queen of Trumps " was third, and Mr. James Hibbard, Jun.'s 
" Diamond " was reserved and highly commended. 
Mr. R. Loder headed the list for Clydesdale Mares with 
" Jean," in-foal to " Scotland Yet, " the prize winner in the Two- 
year-old Clydesdale Stallion Class. ^Ir. Loder was also suc- 
cessful with " Dandy," she securing third place for him. Mr. 
Christopher W. Wilson's " Mrs. ^luir " was second. Mr. 
Loder's " Jess," reserve number and highly commended ; and 
Mr. Lawrence Drew's " Young Rosie " commended. Mr. Loder's 
three mares, and the second-prize animal also, were bred in 
the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. 
There were only four entries for Suffolk Mares, the breed not 
being strongly represented in this or in the Stallion Classes. 
The prize animal, however, " Belle of the Ball," belonging to 
the Duke of Hamilton, did credit to her county ; her head, small 
and well set on, a powerful shoulder, and great girth being her 
salient features. "Duchess of ]Newbourn," ^Ir. Horace Wolton's 
mare, the second-prize taker, was also a good specimen. JNIr. 
William Byford's " Doughty," a good goer, was reserved and 
commended. 
After a verv long conference, the Judges gave the first prize 
in the Agricultural Filly Class (including Clydesdale and 
Suffolk) to Mr. Lawrence Drew's brown filly, by " Topsman." 
The public were evidently against this decision, but the filly, 
though a little undersized at present, has splendid legs and feet, 
and looks as if she would grow into a great mare. The second 
prize went to Mr. Thomas H. Miller, for " Princess Dagmar," 
a very compact bay, with good shoulders. The Earl of 
Ellesmere's " Empress " was third. She is a light chestnut, 
a little long in the leg. Mr. William Byford's chestnut filly by 
" Hercules," a very strong-looking animal, was reserved and 
highly commended. It was during this long judgment that 
one of Lord Ellesmere's men was fatallv kicked by his charge. 
The next class, for Agricultural Fillies, three years old, was 
a small but good one. There were two absentees out of the 
eight entries. " Miss Linton " secured the first prize for
