he is only a baby and all abroad, time may improve him and turn him into 
his right jihice. 
CuAts 42. Hunter Mare, Four- Tea rs-dd. — The mares did not show in 
force. The class was altogether a wiak one, vitli little or no merit, except 
Nos. 578 and 577, " Princess" and " Kancy Lee," " Princess" having the best 
shoulders and looking most like a lady. 'J'lie numbers in the Catalogue were 
reverstd. None of the others had sufficient merit lor a place, and the third 
prize was withheld. 
Class 43. 2 hree- Years-old Hvnter. — Not quite up to the mark. The 
winner, No. 591, " Prime Minister," a fine tall horse, with no end of qtiality and 
good true action, may some day grow down to his le<;s and make a hunter; if 
he does, he will carry a lot of money but not rnudi weight, imjIcss he thickens 
more than one would give him credit for. iso. 586, " 'J he Mystery," is a use- 
ful colt, with shoulders a trifle short. No. 5U0, " Woodman," a thickset 
customer, which moves fairly well without giving much promise of speed, was 
third. 1'he reserve. No. 584, might in time fall intc a hunter. 
Class 44. Hunter Mare, Tim e-Y tars-old.— Q\\\y two entries. No. 594, 
"Princess Margaret," walked away from the other and won easily, bhe is by 
"Egbert," out of old " Sloughby," with good clean limbs and nice quality, 
though rather low in the back. She will some day hold her own over a 
country with a light weight on her back.

Haokkets, Ponibs, akd Coach Horses. 
The fifteen classes brought before us contained 206 entries; and some of 
thfm, especially amongst the hackneys, were animals of great merit. 
We commenced our duties with — 
Class 14. Stallions suitable for getting Coach Horses. — Our first prize. 
No. 208, is a level horse with true coaching action and full of quality, a point 
in which our second prize, No. 206, is somewhat wanting, though he moves 
grandly and is of a rich colour. The third prize. No. 222, is a very promising 
young horse, of the same character as the first prize, showing plenty of bone 
and quality. 
Class 15 — Stallions for getting Hackneys — was a strong class, numbering 
twenty-four. The first prize. No. 249, is a beautiful model of a hackney, and 
good in all his paces. The second prize, No. 247, moves well. No. 237 is a 
useful horse, but a little inclined to have harness shoulders. We highly com- 
mended two in this class and commended other two. 
Class 16. Fmy Stallions above 13-2. — Here again we felt a doubt about 
giving No. 2G1 the first place. He is a compact horse, with rare action and 
beautiful shoulders. No. 255, the secon<i prize, is also a fine mover better 
in this resiiect than No. 259, in the third place. 
Class 17— Pony Stallions not exceeding 13-2 — brought in fifteen for adjudi- 
cation. Nos. 264 and 266 were soon drawn out. No. 266 is a little castle in 
strength; but his shoulders did not quite phase )is, and we preferred the 
greater quality shown by his rival, No. 264, to whom we awarded the red 
rosette. For the third place we selected the well-matured brown two-year-old. 
No. 263. 
Class 31 — Coaching Mare and i'^ca?— only brought three entries. The first 
and second prizes are very handsome marcs, with true couching character and 
of the old Cleveland type. ;
