Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Hull. 505 
Street's " Beauty," a well-formed, active, wide roau, beiug secoud ; with Mr, 
Lester's " Royal Duchess," a graud stamp of mare, rather deficient iu quality, 
third. The above three mares are said to be in foal, and a very stylish grey 
mare with foal at foot, a tine mover, but with a loin rather slack, perhaps 
from suckling a foal, was highly commended and reserve. Several nice 
Clydesdale mares were shown in Class 11, Mr. Watson being first, with a 
short tliick-set mare, " Highland Lassie," Mr. Fleming's " Rosie" being second, 
and a big mare, " Mrs. Muir," third ; Lord Strathmore's " Rosie " being highly 
commended and reserve. Only one of the two Suffolk mares entered were on 
the ground, viz. Mr. Horace Wolton's " Diamond.'' She is, however, good 
enough to hold her own in any company. 
Class 16 was the worst class we had before us. The first-prize filly was 
nicely turned on the top, but was low-hocked and thin in her thighs. The 
second prize went to rather a nice brown filly from Sussex, and the Reserve 
Number to a short thick filly with no action. Class 17, Clydesdale Fillies: 
the winner of the first prize is a nice thick active animal. Mr. Fleming's bay, 
with a white face and three white legs, ran the winner of the first prize very 
close, and took second honours ; whilst Mr. Graham's " Rose of Netherby," 
the winner of the third prize, is rather too long iu the leg. Class 18, Suffolk 
Fillies : Mr. Wilson took first and second prizes ; the first a very smart one, 
with beautiful quality, good legs and feet, and a good mover ; the second is 
rather dark in colour, with a want of pure Suffolk character about her. The 
other filly shown was a very good one in appearance, and we regretted we 
could not place her first. There were four pairs of agricultural draught- 
horses shown, Mr. Brierley taking the prize with two wonderfully good geld- 
ings, " Champion " and " Tommy Dodd ;" they looked, however, better suited 
for the drays of Hull than for ploughing and harrowing on clay laud, which 
they were certified to have done. That wonderful mare, " Sensation," delighted 
and astonished the spectators, and we regretted she had not a partner more 
worthy of her than " Warwick ;" Mr. Marshall's chestnut mares were a good 
match, and looked active and useful. We commended the entire class. 
There was a fair show of thoroughbred stallions — " Dalesman" 
by far the best. Mr. Chaplin is fortunate in possessing two such 
horses as "Dalesman" and "Snowstorm." His tenants and 
neighbours are also fortunate in being able to use such horses 
at a moderate charge. Three very good foals by " Snowstorm " 
were with their dams, Nos. 126, 141, and 143. The hackney 
stallions were about as good a lot as is generally shown, but 
unless they are put to thoroughbred mares, I have little faith 
in the produce being hacks such as I should like to ride : an 
impartial examination of the so-called hacks in Class 25 will 
explain my meaning. The above remarks will apply to pony 
stallions. There were only five shown, and they were nothing ex- 
traordinary. " Sir George," the winner of the first prize, had 
not good shoulders, and " Mischief" had not enough action. 
The reserve number was given to No. 86, " Robbie Burns," a 
pony witli good action, but common hind-quarters. The 
hunting brood mares were exceedingly good ; the hackney 
mares only moderate ; and the pony mares still worse. The 
first-prize winner had good action and some other good points, 
but her shoulders would not bear inspection.
