looking black, of some promise, bred by Mr. John Pearson, 
Naseby Garstang, and got by " Lincoln " (1350). The third 
prize went to another good black, the Earl of Ellesmere's " Black- 
pool," bred by Mr. Peter Blundell, and got by " Bar None " 
(2388). 
The Judges speak highly of the Two-year-old Fillies, amongst 
which there were several animals of unusual promise. The 
contest here was very keen, and it is necessary to state that the 
selection of the Judges did not quite harmonise with the pre- 
vailing ideas outside the ring. It will be seen that they 
express a very favourable opinion of Lord Middleton's " Silver 
Queen," which was placed first. She is certainly a big, strong 
filly, well formed in front, but not so good behind, and hardly so 
stylish as some of the others. She was bred bv Mr. J. C. Allen, 
Hertford, and got by "Thumper" (213G). The Earl of Elles- 
mere's second filly, by " Don Carlos " (2416), is a very promising 
black, Avith a good deal of bone, and of excellent quality. 
Mr. P. A. Muntz's stylish chestnut filly, " Pride of Dunsmore," 
by the excellent sire, "Canute" (2736), was left in the third 
place, but by several good judges she would have been placed 
higher, if not indeed at the top of the class. 
The Class of Yearling Fillies was the weakest in the Section. 
Of seven entered, only three put in appearance. The Earl of 
Ellesmere's first-prize filly is a fairly stylish bay, bred by 
himself, and got by " Briton's Boast " (3004). The second, also 
owned and bred by his Lordship, is another bay of fair merit, got 
by " Ambassador " (3428). :Mr. P. A. ]\Iuntz's " Gem of Duns- 
more " is rather high in the leg just now, but is of nice quality, 
and promises to fill out well. 
Eeport of the Judges of Shire Horses. 
Class 1— /or Stallions foaled before 1884 — was not a strong class, Xo. 5 
being an easy winner. 
Class 2. — Tiiere were eight entries, one being absent. One very good- 
looking colt had to be passed over, as he went lame when trotted round the 
ring. Xo. 11, a thick compact colt, rather on the small scale, was first. 
Class 3 fm-nished some good animals, though there were three absentees, 
the first and second prize winners being exceedingly promising colts. 
Class 4 was a moderate class. 
Class 18 — Mares and Foals — produced some first-rate animals, the winner 
being a thick heavy mare of quite the right type. 
Class 2S— for Three-year-old Fillies — was a good class. 
Class 22— for Two-year-old Fillies — produced several good animals. 
The winner, Xo. 230, a grey, with immense substance, will probably often be 
heard of in the Show-ring, though she was pressed hard by Xo. 222, a black 
filly of very superior quality. 
Class 30 was a very indiSerent class, only three putting in an appearance 
out of seven entries.
