558 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Birmingham. 
shaped " Bowling Green," who brought second prize to Lord 
Falmouth. " Miss Saurin " and Insecurity," the remaining 
mares noticed by the Judges, also displayed excellent character, 
although scarcely up to the standard of the first two. 
A gaily-stepping, fleet-bounding, daughter of " Laughing- 
stock " appeared in the two-year-old filly class, namely, the neat, 
sweetly-styled, " \ oung Kate," so lithe in form, yet muscular and 
full of nerye, who at once asserted her right to pride of place. 
" Mignonette," of stouter build, but actiye and playful, seemed 
also a beauty, but could only be placed second : with " The 
Queen," another daughter of " Laughing Stock," yery shapely, 
w ith good limbs, taking reserye. Then, again, the three of the 
three-year-old hunter-mares whom the Judges honoured were 
aboye ordinary merit. ^Ir. Tattersall-Musgraye's " Triumph," 
own sister to " Talisman," and one of the Alexandra Park winners, 
has pleasing style, with plenty of fire. The dark-grey " Belona" 
is decidedly handsome, with considerable bone and blood-like 
quality : while " Rosalind," the reserye mare, is a yery good one. 
and does honour to the " Laughing Stock " blood. Both two- 
year-olds and three-year-olds mustered in force, and the Judjes 
specially remark that " seyeral " were yery promising animals." 
The Duke of Hamilton's " Boynton," who has a grand form and 
wonderful deyelopment for a two-year-old, had probabh^ an easy 
yictory in the former class : with !Mr. Oakeley's stylish " Bird 
Tenter" making a good second. But in the latter the claims 
of three or four of the animals not honoured stood yery high. 
The post of pre-eminence was assigned to ^Ir. Rickerby's " Cap- 
tain," own brother to the first two-year-old filly, and haying the 
same gay style and nice action. ^Ir. Bailey's " Precocity," 
with lengthy form and shapely limbs, came next, followed by 
Mr. Watson's " Sportsman " as the reserye horse. The contrast 
between only four entries of mares and eighteen of geldings 
in the classes for four-year-olds seemed yery marked, and among 
the eighteen there were seyeral good hunters. These were 
headed by Lieut. -Col. Barlow's " Van Dyck " and Mr. T. H. 
Hutchinson's " Glengyle," both of whom had many fayourites, 
for they are a couple of prime ones, the comely shape, grand 
action, and substance of the former causing him to haye first 
place ; but the latter is exceedingly handsome, and proyed him- 
self a splendid goer. " Glengyle " has not often been beaten, 
and had a most successful career in the Showyard last year. 
ISIt. Jones's black horse and Mr. Hone's chestnut, who were 
also honoured, had merit far aboye par. In short, it was a 
thoroughly good class, " one of the best," say the Judges, " in 
the Yard.''' 
Howeyer, it was the next, for five-year-old mares and geldings.
