Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 515 
eight grand colts having been drawn for the final tussle. This 
was undoubtedly the best class of Two-year-old Clydesdale 
Colts seen anywhere this year. Mr. Andrew Montgomery came 
first, as at Edinburgh and Ayr, with " Macaulay," a very hand- 
some bay, with true build, fine character, and excellent feet, 
pasterns and movement. He was bred by Mr. Mark J. Stewart, 
M.P., Southwick, Dumfries, and got by Mr. Montgomery's 
famous stud horse "Macgregor" (1487). Mr. James Crawford's 
second colt, " The Granite City," is a well-shaped, stylish bay 
of nice quality and excellent bone, winner of the first prize at 
Glasgow, and at the Perth Highland Show. He was bred by 
Mr. Walker, of CouUie, Udny, Aberdeenshire, and got by the 
noted sire "Lord Erskine" (1744). Mr. Galbraith's third colt, 
" Lord Ailsa," third at Glasgow and Perth, and also by " Lord 
Erskine," displays grand quality and character, with the best of 
feet and legs, but wants filling out a little. 
The Class of Yearling Colts was also large and of high merit. 
Mr. Andrew Montgomery led here with his grand colt " Baron 
of Cally," which was first at Edinburgh. He is handsome in 
form and moves admirably ; bred by Mr. Hamilton, Boreland, 
Kirkcudbright, and got by " Lord Marmion." Lords A. and 
L. Cecil had a very good second in " Cawnpore," a well-formed 
promising bay, wanting slightly in bone, bred by themselves, 
out of their prize mare " Cornflower," and got by " Lucknow " 
(3810). The Marquis of Londonderry got the third prize for an 
exceedingly promising brown, bred hy his noble owner, got by 
the prize horse " Castlereagh," and out of a " Prince of Wales " 
mare. 
The Class of Clydesdale Mares was not large, but it was 
nevertheless one of the best in the Show. The unbeaten 
"Moss Rose," acknowledged to be the best living Clydesdale, 
headed this Class, and won the Special prize for the best mare or 
filly of the breed. She is now the property of Mr. Gilmour of 
Montrave, Fifeshire, who owns a most valuable stud of highly 
I bred Clydesdales. She was bred by Mr. George Ure, Wheat- 
lands, Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire, got by " Dunmore Prince 
Charlie " (634), and out of the " Time O'Day " mare " Rosebud" 
(1814). She is built as a draught mare ought to be built, with 
thick, well-balanced body, deep-sloping shoulder, clean, well- 
shaped legs, well furnished with muscle, and the bone flat, 
abundant, and of the best wearing quality, while her pasterns 
are long and sloping, and feet big and sound. 
Messrs. R. and J. Findlay, of Springhill, Baillieston, Lanark- 
shire, had a very creditable second in their powerful well-made 
brown mare " Chrystal," which has this year followed "Moss 
Rose" at several Shows, invariably winning when she was absent,
