In the small class of mare and foal the first prize fell easily 
to Nettie, " a splendid mare with extraordinary action and fall 
of quality." The second prize mare, Edith , possesses great sub- 
stance and has the characteristics of a good breeding mare. 
The five three-year-old fillies made an excellent class. The 
first prize filly, Scottish Rose, " is remarkably well made up for 
her age ; her action is grand, and her forelegs and feet are 
unusually good." The second prize, Bell, " is a beautifully 
brought out filly, but deficient in her forefeet and pasterns." 
Gladys, " a big filly, but wanting in action," was third. 
The best and largest class of Clydesdales in the showyard 
wns that of the two-yeai-old fillies, at the head of which the 
Judges placed Scottish Snoicdrop, and afterwards awarded her 
the champion prize as the best Clydesdale mare or filly. They 
describe her as a beautifully symmetrical animal, her movement 
being remarkably good, and her hock action specially excellent. 
The Earl of Cawdor's Decreto, though of less substance than 
Mr. Scott's filly, " is full of quality and a very true Clydesdale." 
The third prize went to Silver Bell, a big filly, but lacking 
the quality of the first two. 
Suffolks. — Every credit is due to the Suffolk breeders for 
the grand display of horses they made at Plymouth. As many 
as 56 animals were in the catalogue, and of these 47 put in an 
appearance, most of them having travelled some 350 miles to 
get to the Showyard. Excepting the very meritorious half- 
dozen sent by Mr. Hume Webster from Surrey, and a solitary 
entrv from Berkshire, all the Suffolk horses came direct from 
the county whence they derive their name. The Judges re- 
garded the whole exhibit as fully maintaining the high reputa- 
tion of the Suffolks. 
In a good class of three-year-old stallions the first prize went 
to Mr. W. H. Hewitt's The Czar — " a massive grand horse, with 
lots of bone and good feet." 
The two-year-old stallions were a very strong class, both as 
regards numbers and quality, 14 putting in an appearance out 
of 17 entries. The first prize colt, Winston, is well grown and 
has capital legs and feet. Mr. Hume "Webster's Nottingham 
was second — a big stylish colt of nice quality and a very good 
type of the breed. Many other excellent animals were to be 
seen in this, the best of the Suffolk classes, and the Judges 
commended the entire class. 
Stallions foaled in 1889 made a satisfactory class, at the 
head of which was placed a very big well-grown chestnut colt, 
sent by the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon. He was, how- 
ever, closely pressed by Mr. Hewitt's Windsor Chieftain,
