Report upon the Exhibition of Horses at Kilhurn. 583 
of the second prize for mares and foals, and of the third for 
two-year-old colts, in addition to commendations. The Messrs. 
Toller, also, are famous for breeding horses of the true Suffolk 
type, and among them many good ones. The only prize-winner 
in this tribe which was bred outside of the county was Lord 
Howe's yearling stallion " Old Boy," which took the first prize ; a 
victory by no means unwelcome to Suffolk men, seeing that 
Lord Howe comes straight to the breeders for his purchases, 
and does not repair to dealers. 
The following is the Report made by the Judges : — 
The general exhibition of Suffolk horses we consider to be most satis- 
factory as to merit, but it is to be regretted that in some classes such a 
paucity of animals entered tlie ring compared to the entries. Probably local 
Shows have brought many animals together, and opened the eyes of owners 
as to the comparative merits of their respective animals. 
Class 9. Stallions Four Tears old and upwards — produced the two 
most noted horses of Suffolk, " Cupbearer 111." and " Biddell's Ben," whose 
respective merits have been very closely scanned upon several occasions. 
Mr. Garrett's "Cupbearer III." bears off the palm. Both these animals are 
excellent specimens of their breed, and are sure to leave their mark behind 
them in their progeny. No. 150 is third, another of Mr. BiddeU's animals, a 
smart-looking horse with a good back. 
Class 10. Hiree-Tear-Old- Stallions. — Xo. 165 we place first. He is a 
very smart colt, and from his good looks promises to make an attractive 
horse. Xo. 163 is a very prime-lookinj colt, wide and strong ; but not 
moving quite so freely, be loses the first place. Xo. 166 is third, a full-sized 
and very useful colt. 
Class 11. Two-Tear-Old-Stallions.— 'So. 170, ilr. Biddell's "Jingo." 
This is a colt of great attraction, and not only takes the first prize in his 
class, but we assign to him the Challenge Cup, a gi-eat honour, indeed, con- 
sidering the formidable company he was in. This colt has an immense 
carcass for a two year-old ; his feet are good, and his legs wiry, but perhaps 
they look scarcely big enou^^h for his great weight. Xo. 169 is second, a 
colt of gieat promise, and looks like making a superior horse. Xo. 173 
is third. 
Class 12. One-Tear-Old-Stallions. — These are not up to the mark, and 
we must refrain from remarking upon them individually. 
Class 20. Mare and Foal. — Only four mares with their foals came into 
the ring, with ten entries. Xo. 308, Mr. D. A. Green's " Smart," takes the 
first prize. This is a remarkably well-shaped mare, and an excellent speci- 
men of a Sufiblk ; we give her the Challenge Cup as well. Xo. 314 takes the 
second prize. This is a short-legged and very active mare, with an excellent 
leal by her side. Xo. 318 is third, a very attractive mare, and moves well. 
This mare ran very close for the second place. 
Class 23. Three-Tear-Old-Fillies.— So. 344 stands first. This is a short- 
legged filly, very good back, and very active mover, and altogether looks 
like making a good mare. Xo. 343 is second, a full-sized mare. X'o. 345 
is third. 
Class 26. Two- Tear- Old-Fillies. — This was one of the most attractive 
classes in the Suffolk horses. The two-year-olds were in full force. Xo. 394 
we place first, and if she gets of sufficient size will be a puzzle to some of the 
old prize-winners. She is very active, and a most symmetrical specimen. 
X'o. 393 is second, and Xo. 398 third. Both of these are attractive fillies, and 
move well ; Xo. 392 is the reserved number. We highly commend Xos. 389, 390
