Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Bristol. 49 
(• compete as dydesdjh or Sujoii. — This was a very grand class, representeil 
by sixtem entries ; tke irst prize was deservedly wi)q by Mr. Liiwreace Drew 
with A fcay man named " Ooiiatess ;'' although, shown by a Scotchman, she wa-s 
bred in EEg!«Qd by Mr. tlawksworth, near Derby; she has splendid action, 
is Tery deep in her chest, with boaatifal silky hair on her legs, head finely 
set on, and alto^ther is a very splendid mare. 
The aeoond-pcize maie; again o wqsxL by Lard Ellesmere, was named " Dainty 
she has taken a great many prizt^ and is a very massive, wide, powerfal 
itnimal. 
The third prize was awarded to i capital grey mare, owned by Mr. Willtaai 
Wynn, Stiatford-<ia-Avoa ; she was raising a fijal which did not give Llt a 
reasooable chance with the others; the Judges thocight it would b^ better if 
maies in ibal were shewn sepwat^y from those having tbab by their side. 
Class 18. Agricmlhtral Fitly iacl'tdimj Clifdesdah and Suf'jlk, T>eo Year's 
old. — The Judges difi&zed very much in their opinion as to the merits ot" the 
varioos breeds shown in tbLs class, as they represented the Clydesdale, 
SaSslk. and Shire horse ; they bope the Cooncil will serioasly consider 
the i»opnety of showing the distinct breeds separately and to select three 
Jodges in all Oait-hocse Classes, one portion to jud^e Shire horses, another 
Clydesdale, the rem^nnder Suttbtk. This would avoid a vast amocmt of 
anpka^ntuess. 
We very much regret that dnring the time this class was in the Ring one 
of Lord EUesmere's men was killed by a kick from the third-prize mare. 
Class 19. A'/ricnUural FiHtf indnding Ctylesdale and Sufulk, Three 
Years old. — This was a splendid lot indeed ; Earl Ellesmere was once more to 
the front with a splendid mare, bred by Mr. J. Linton of Westwick Hall, 
GaralMijge^ that will one dty prove a valuable investmaat to her owner, as 
she is sure to add lustre to the stud she represents. We thought this the 
best class in the yard. 
The sc-ojn l-prize aBinral was owned by Mr. Joseph Hennery, Clifton, Bristol, 
bred by himself; she is a capital fitly, and will again be heard of amongst 
the winners. 
The third prize was awarded to Mr. Drew for a bro'.vn mare, breeder 
unknown. 
The reserve number in this class was given to Mrs. Pearce of Dyers Farm, 
near Bristol, for a very nice level mare, bred by the exhibitor. 
The Clydesdale classes were as well represented in respect of both number 
and quality as eould be esp«:ted at a Show held so far south. Several of the 
eshilats ai^eaied to disadvantage from not being in bhowyard-eonditioo, but 
the animalii stibinit':ed to inspection included some first-class specimens ot the 
breed, anMK^ which may be particularised the aged stallioa and mare which 
were ;^aeed first in their respective classes. 
Clas 3. — ^The first-prize horse, a bright bay, was not in Showyard-coa- 
dition, but his krge bone, excellent feet and pasterns, and good action, entitleil 
him to the first place. The second prize wiis awarded to a brown horse of less 
sabsfeanee than the first-prize one. 
CtAss 4. The first-prize horse in this class was a massive dark chestnut, nine 
yean old, of immense substance and splendid action, which far outstripped 
erery one of his competitors. The second-prize hoise was eleven years old, and 
had good hair, fair bone^ and moderate action. The third prize was awardeil 
to a fair hwse three years old. 
Class 12. The first animal in this class was a very gi-and mare, which was 
not in Skowyard-condition, bnt her extraordinary bone, excellent feet and 
pastems, and c^tal action fully entitled her to her place. The second-prize 
mare has a large frame, bat she is too old-looking to appear to advantage in a 
Show-ring. The five-year-old mare, which was placed third, has true Clrdes-
