Report upon the Exhibition of Horses at Killmrn. 593 
Clabs 32. Hackney Mare and Foal. Not numerously attended. The first 
prize, No. 451, is a pretty blood mure, but, we may say of the cl;ia« jjenerally 
— tliat it had hardly sufiiciinl sub-tance for bicedinj; vnluabic lii ckneys. 
Class 33. Pony Mare and Foal. — Here we had some creditable punics, but 
of a mixed character. Our first and second prizes show great blood, whilst 
the third fjoes to a handsome thick cob. 
Cl/.6s45 — Coaching Mare or Gelding, Three Years old — was represented by 
only one entry, but a horse of considerable merit of the Cleveland bay type, 
and well worthy of a first prize. 
Class 46. Coaching Mare or Gelding for Omnibus work. — Here we had 
two animals of a high class, Nos. 603 and 604 ; but we did not consider them 
eligible to compete as " Omnibus horses," and we gave the prize to Ko. 602, 
a strong useful gelding. 
Class 47. Hackneys up to 15 stone. — A fairly good class. No. 614 is a 
beautiful hackney in all his paces, and an easy winner. 
Class 48 — Hackneys up to not less ikon 12 stone — brought twenty-three 
competitors, and contained animals of a very high chiss. W e placed No. 633 
first, a fashionable mover, but perhaps with actiun rather too round and 
roadster-like for a hackmy. No. 62.), a perfectly trained gentleman, came 
second, and No. 641 third. We highly comuunded two, and gave five 
commendations. 
Class 49 — Ladies^ Hackneys — was not a good class. 
Class 50 — Hackneys above 13 "2, not exceeding 14 '2 — paraded twenty-five. 
No. 656 soon came to the front, a mare of a high class. The second prize. 
No. 673, is also a very fine mover. 
Class 51. Ponies ahov- 12' 2, not exceeding 13*?. — Here twenty-one put in, 
an appearance. No. 1186 was an easy winner, though too frtsh to show her- 
self to the best advantage. 
Class 52. Ponies not exceeding 12 '2 was a very good class. Both our first 
and second, Nos. 704 and 703, are remarkably smart well-made ] onies, and a 
nice pony is third, No. 705. We also highly commended four and com- 
mended one.

Foreign Horses. 
Fifty-nine entries from abroad, antl a not inconsiderable 
reduction in the number of foreign animals brought into the 
ring, hardly sufficed to give to the Kilburn Show that interna- 
tional character which the increased facilities for transporting 
horses across the Channel led every one to hope that it would 
assume. The prizes ofTered were, moreover, worthy of a larger 
competition, and the absence of French horses was noticed with 
regret by those who well know how many of our neighbours 
across the Channel are in a condition to follow the spirited 
example set them by M. Edmond De La Ville, by whom 
twenty-eight entries were made. Before noticing the foreign 
classes more in detail, I claim permission to remark that 
Belgium sent one animal to Kilburn, in M. Paul Tiberghien's 
flea-bitten grey cart-mare " Sultana," which was undoubtedly a
