The Plymouth Meeting. 
Horse Show held in London last March. They all looked well 
after their season of service in the South of Eugland, and there 
were but few of the visitors interested in horses who did not take 
the opportunity of inspecting the trio. 
Hunters. — The hunters were, on the whole, not remarkable 
either in numbers or in quality, and there was a decided lack of 
uniformity amongst the exhibits. The local entries were hardly 
as strong as might have been expected. About one-half of the 
substantial honours went to northern counties, whilst of the 
five premier awards three went to Yorkshire and the remaining 
two to Cornwall. 
In Class 1, for hunter mare and foal, half a dozen entries 
came forward, at the head of which the Judges had no difficulty 
in placing Captain Danby's Melrose, a brown mare, eleven years 
old, showing much hunting character, and with good legs and 
action. Mr. Boles's second prize mare, Huntress, displayed good 
hunting action; whilst the third prize mare, Lavinia, was rather 
deficient in quality, with not the best of shoulders. 
Class 2, hunter fillies (three years old), were not regarded 
by the Judges as a particularly good lot. The character of the 
class was somewhat redeemed by the presence of Mr. Mitchel- 
son's Lancashire-bred first prize filly, and of Col. MacGregor's 
Somerset-bred second prize winner Medici, the former possessing 
beautifully clean limbs with fine action, and the latter being a 
mare of much quality and a good mover. Of the six hunter 
fillies (two years old) in Class 3, The iViot was easily placed first. 
She was low in condition and capable of much improvement, 
for she possesses high breeding, and showed nice level action. 
Of hunters up to 12 stone (Class 4a), some very useful 
specimens were exhibited. The first prize horse, Danube, is an 
animal of great merit. " He has very fine quality, is a grand 
galloper, and has good manners." The second prize went to 
Kimrod, a useful stamp of hunter ; and though Mr. A. H. Blyth's 
third prize animal " promises to develop into a workman, he 
cannot be considered a show horse." Hunters up to 15 stone 
(Class 4//) call for no special remark, the premier award going 
to an average weight-carrying hunter. 
The four-year-old hunters (Class 5) formed a class which 
was generally above the average in qualitj'. Mr. Wilkinsons 
Summertime " is of good breeding and has splendid legs, his 
bone being of the best quality. He moves well all round." The 
second prize went to Cinnamon, an excellent stamp of horse, 
and though the third prize winner, Avalanche, has capital legs, 
he hardly moved so well in his slow paces as the first two. The 
reserved horso in this class galloped as well as any animal in the
