Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Norwich. 683 
exhibited by Mr. G. M. Nicholson, East Dereham, Norfolk, a very good 
mover ; whilst tlie reserve number was Mr. Samuel Eose's black and white 
three-year-old '■ Lord Magpie." 
Class 22. Hackney Mare and Foal, above 14 hands 2 inches. — Thirteen 
entries. This was an exceptionally good class. There were in it, besides 
those winning prizes, some mares, not good in appearance themselves, yet, 
having been judiciously mated with good sires, had some capital foals at their 
side. The first-prize winner was " Princess " (229), chestnut, seven years 
old, by "Denmark" (177), bred and exhibited by Mr. Henry Moore, Burn 
Butts, Cranswick, Hull. This well-known mare possesses what is all-im- 
portant, good shoulders as well as true action, and had a most beautiful colt 
foal at foot, by " Lord Derby 2nd ; " he is a dark chestnut, with one white leg 
and a white stripe on his face, has fine shoulders, and is altogether a grandly 
made foal. The second prize was taken by " Constance " (63), chestnut, four 
years old, bred and exhibited by Mr. E. B. Hamond, Waterden. This mare 
is a good-looking one, with fine action, and a brown filly foal at her side, by 
" Confidence," which has good bone, but with shoulders not quite so good as 
has the " Princess " foal. iThe third prize was also taken by Mr. E. B. Hamond 
for his home-bred " Jessie " (152), brown, three years old, by " Confidence " 
(158), a nice mover, with a brown colt foal by " Lord Derby 2nd " (417), which 
has good quarters, but is light of bone, and his hocks are not so well set as 
either of the preceding foals. The reserve number and highly commended 
mare was the Duke of Hamilton's black " Duchess," a beautiful mare that 
would have certainly taken higher honours had not her black colt foal, by 
" Prickwillow," been small and very light of bone. Highly commended also 
was " Kathleen " (162), chestnut, six years old, by " Star of the East " (798), 
bred by Mr. Edward Green, Welshpool, and exhibited by Mr. Garrett Taylor, 
Trowse House, Norwich, a useful mare, with a dark chestnut colt foal by 
" Norfolk Gentleman " (492), that has plenty of size and good quarters. The 
following colts were also very promising, and will doubtless be seen again in 
the prize-ring — Mr. Anthony Hamond's bay colt foal (No. 227), by " Lord 
Derby 2nd ; " Mr. Washington Hamond's red roan filly foal (No. 228), by 
"Great Shot" (329); Mr. Garrett Taylor's roan filly foal (No. 231), by 
« Norfolk Gentleman ; " Mr. W. Hall's bay colt foal (No. 234), by " Norfolk 
Gentleman;" and Mr. W. J. Bailey's brown colt foal (No. 238), by 
« Canvasser " (114). 
Class 23. Hackney Mare and Foal, aiove 13 hands 2 inches, and not 
exceeding 14 hands 2 inches. — Ten entries. The first prize was awarded to 
" Alice 2nd " (6), by " Washington " (852), bay, twelve years old, bred by 
Mr. Edgar Brandford, Wickham Market, and exhibited by Mr. Womack 
Brandford, Swaffham. This was a beautiful mare, a good goer, with plenty 
of quality, her brown colt foal by " Canvasser " being a very pretty one, with 
good head and quarters, its shoulders, however, being a trifle coarse. The 
second-prize winner was "Nelly Bligh," bay, bred by Mr. Henry Pearse, 
CO. Galway, and exhibited by Lt.-Col. T. piolmes Parker, Warwick Hall, 
Carlisle ; a mare full of quality, with splendid shoulders. Her bay filly foal, 
by " Sir George " (778), was smart-looking and blood-like, having good 
shoulders. The third prize was awarded to " Snowdrop" (320), grey, sixteen 
years old, exhibited by Mr. C. E. Cooke, Litcham, Swaffham ; a rare stamp 
of mare, with filly foal by " Canvasser," which is fairly promising. The 
reserve number was " Jenny," by " Hurdle 3rd" (382), grey, five years old, 
bred by Mr. J. Mann, Hempton, Norfolk, and exhibited by Mr. Washington 
I Hamond ; a very nice mare and good goer. This mare would have taken a 
higher position had her filly foal, by " Great Shot," been more promising. 
There were one or two other good colts in this class. 
Class 24. Forty Mare and Foal not exceeding 13 hands 2 inches. — Two
