Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Nevccastle. 511 
(4458), the second winner, stands rather far from the ground, 
but he is reckoned to have good legs and feet, and also good 
action. He is onlv four years of age, and should he fill out, 
as he promises to do, he will be formidable as an old horse. 
He was lower in the list in London. Bred by Mr. G. S. 
Shepperson, Lockington, Derby, he is a son of the celebrated 
"William the Conqueror" (2343 j, and out of "Flower,"' by 
"Honest Prince" (1058). VVith many onlookers, !Mr. Thomas 
Shaw's very active and useful sis-year-old grey horse, "Agricola" 
(2700), was a leading favourite. He is a trifle slack in the 
middle, but is short in the leg, with good bone and splendid 
movement. He too has been winner at former Shows, was bred 
bv Mr. Valentine Godfrev, Wisbech, and got by "Thumper" 
(2136j, out of " Darling by " Samson " (1946). 
Three- vear-old Shire Colts numbered seven, the other entered 
not being present. Mr. \^ alter Gilbey's " Real Briton " (4641) 
led easilv. He is comparatively low in stature, being short 
in the leg ; but he is exceptionally thick, with well-formed body 
and powerful limbs, his fore-arm being wonderful for so young 
a horse. He has won manv leading honours, and was marked 
as the " reserve " here for the best Stallion of the breed. He 
was bred bv Mr. \ . Eastgate, Holbeach, Lincolnshire, and got by 
" True Briton" (2684), dam "Brisk" by "Matchless" (1542). 
The Earl of Ellesmere's " Chieftain," which came second, is a 
promising bay of moderate build, but, like most Derbyshire 
horses, clean in the bone and a good mover. He was bred by 
Mr. W. Riley, Boulton, Derby, and got by " Champion" (457). 
Mr. C. E. Galbraith's " Don Pedro " (5002), which made a close 
third, is a very good short-legged black colt with good bone, 
bred by Mr. J. Morton, Wales Hall, Aston, Yorkshire, and got 
by " Don Carlos" (2416). 
Two-vear-old Colts made a very good class, 14 entered 
and 11 present. The leading winners here are exceptionally 
promising. The Earl of Ellesmere's first-prize colt " Don 
Juan," bred by his Lordship, got by "' Don Carlos" (2416), and 
out of "Cornflower" by "Lincolnshire Lad II." (1365), is a 
well-formed bay, with good bone, an excellent mover, and 
likelv to come out well. He wants depth and strength of 
thigh a little, but may improve there. Mr. Topham's " Cause- 
wav Prince" made a very close second. He wants depth of 
back rib a little, but is a right good stamp 'of colt, with a good 
deal of strength and considerable promise of usefulness. He 
was bred by Mr. T. W. Parnell, The Causeway, Thornev, 
Peterborough, and got by " Thornev Tom " (3370). Mr. P. A. 
Muntz, M.P., had a good third in " Derbvshire Hero," a thick 
black colt with good body, but a trifle round in the bone.
