■winners than any other Hackney Stallion. The reserve number and highly 
commeaded was " Canvasser " (114), hlack, five years old, by " Confidence " 
(158), bred by Mr. H. Harrison, and exhibited by Sir. C. E. Cooke of 
Swaffham ; while Mr. G. H. K. Francis's " The Younger Doctor Syntax " 
(877), a brown, six years old, by " Confidence," was highly commended, and 
Mr. J. H. Hastings's "Volunteer" (1217), chestnut, four years old, by 
" Model," was commended. The other stallions in this class were too light 
and short of bone. 
Class 1-1. Eackney Stallions, above 14 hands, not exceeding 15 hands, 
foaled previously to the year 1883. — Seven entries. The first prize was taken 
by " British Prince," black, seven years old, by " Reality " (665), bred and 
exhibited by Mr. John Sindall, Prickwillow, Cambs. This is a very neat 
compact horse, fuU of quality, inheriting the grand action of his sire, and 
when brought out afterwards with the first-prize Stallions in Classes 13, 14, 
15, 16, easily carried off the Champion prize. The second prize was awarded 
to " Prince Victor " (1327), a chestnut four-year-old, by " Pieality," bred 
and exhibited by Mr. Smith Flanders, Littleport, Cambs. ; and the third 
to " Clockwork " (143), chestnut, six years old, by " Little Model," bred 
by Mr. D.J. Belding, Fakenham, Norfolk, and exhibited by Mr. John Grout. 
These last two were both sood staUions, but were unfortunate in meeting an 
exceptional horse like " British Prince." The reserve number and highly 
commended was "Grey Tom," a grey four-year-old, by "Confidence," bred 
by Mr. John Toungman, Downham, and exhibited by Mr. Charles Groucock, 
"VVymondham, Norfolk, a nice mover, but too small. 
Class 15. Hackney Stallion, foaled either in 1883 or 1884. — Nineteen 
entries. This was a very strong class, not only in point of numbers, but 
especially in point of quality. The first prize was won by " All Fours," a 
two-year-old chestnut, by " Fashion," bred and exhibited by Mr. John Grout. 
He is marvellously developed for his age, and bids fair to make a valuable 
stud-horse. The second prize was awarded to " Physician," a two-year-old 
red roan, by " Great Shot " (329), exhibited by Mr. John N. Anthony, 
Sedgeford, Lynn, and bred by Mr. Richard Burgess, Docking, Lynn ; a gocd 
goer, with plenty of quality. The third prize was taken by " Paragon " 
(1320), a brown three-year-old, by " Confidence," exhibited by Mr. W. Beart, 
Stow Bardolph, Norfolk. He is light of bone in compaiison with the pre- 
ceding horses, but is, nevertheless, a good mover. The reserve number and 
highly commended was " Premier," a chestnut two-year-old, bv " Slodel," 
bred by Mr. S. Bell, Stifkey, Norfolk, and exliibited by Mr. F.'E. Howell, 
lattle Walsingham, Norfolk ; whilst " Rob Roy," a chestnut three-year-old, 
by " Reality," bred and exhibited by Mr. John Rowell, Bury, Huntingdon- 
shire, was highly commended. Neither of these two horses had the same 
true action as the prize-winners, as " Premier " " dishes " slighth- in his walk, 
and " Rob Roy " has not true fore-action ; but in every other respect they 
■were good goers, and their gait may improve with age. Of the remaining 
animals some of them possessed good points, but showed imperfections of one 
kind or another, such as want of bone, deficient action, &c. 
Class 16. Fony Stallion, above 13 hands, and not exceeding 14 hands. — 
Six entries. The first prize was awarded to " Bamham Confidence " (895), 
three years old, brown, by " Confidence," bred and exhibited by Mr. Dalton 
Vassar, Wymoudham, a long, low, well-proportioned pony, with level, true 
action. I'he second prize was won by " Pomfret Wonder," black, six vears 
old, by "Little Wonder" (Mr. C. W. Wilson's), bred by Mr. Wright, 
Doncaster, and exhibited by Messrs. Gottwaltz and Bowring, Cardifif. This 
■was a grand sharp mover, who was only ovei-powered by the size of his 
opponent. The third prize was given to " Pick Up" (1087), bay, five years 
old, by " Model " (1054), bred by Mr. Huggins, Hempton, Fakenham, and
