518 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Newcastle. 
Norwicli last year. Only two three-year-old stallions appeared. 
Mr. A. J. Smith's excellent horse, " Blazer," came first, as he 
did at the Suffolk Show. He is an active horse, of good style, 
but is slightly deficient in bone. Mr. M. Biddell's " Pioneer" 
was also second at the Suffolk Show this year, and at the 
Norwich " Royal " last year. He is a thick, short-legged, well- 
put-together horse, but lacks size a little. 
The Class of Two-year-old Colts contained eight entries, and 
was so good that the Judges say that a better is seldom seen in 
the home of the breed. Mr. Horace Walton took the lead 
with " Emperor," a famous prize-winner, bred by himself, and 
got by "Diadem" (1553), and out of "Empress of Paris" 
(1033), by "Royal Duke II." (1366). He is exceptionally 
well-furnished for his age, and, should he maintain his form, he 
will make a grand old horse. Mr. James Toller's second colt, 
" Salisbury," had better treatment here than in the Suffolk Show, 
where he was unaccountably passed over. He is fairly well 
formed in the body, and has, for a Suffolk, exceptionally good 
legs and feet — quite the best in the class. Breeders of Suffolk 
horses must give more attention to feet and legs ; for without 
good " understandings," a big, massive body, however hand- 
some, is of little value in a draught horse. " Salisbury " was 
bred by Mr. J. Hempson, Shotley, Ipswich, and got by " States- 
man " (657). Mr. Samuel Toller got the third prize, as at the 
Suffolk Show, with " Nonpareil " (1602), a useful kind of a colt, 
not attractive about the head, and scarcely perfect in the knee. 
Only two Suffolk Mares with Foals were entered. The Duke 
of Hamilton's " Gandy Poll" (1606) repeated former victories. 
She is a handsomely-built mare, compact and well-balanced, 
smart in movement, and of nice quality. She was bred by his 
Grace, and got by that fine sire " Statesman" (657), and out of 
"Smart" (430), by "Emperor" (279). Mr. A. J. Smith's 
second-prize mare is"Charsfield Lass" (1558), a well-made, 
four-year-old, dark chestnut, likely to grow into an excellent 
mare. 
In the Class for Three-year-old Fillies, only three were 
entered, but they all showed high merit. The Duke of Hamilton 
had a very good winner in " Snowdrop," a big-bodied, handsome 
filly, with fairly good well-shaped legs. She was bred by Mr. 
Samuel VVolton, 13utley Abbey, VVickham Market, and got by 
"Chieftain." Mr. A. J. Smith followed with "Princess of 
May" (1142), a heavy, well-formed filly, of a useful stamp, 
bred by himself, and got by " Cupbearer III." (566). The 
Duke of Hamilton's third filly, " Vixen," is attractive in form, 
but rather light in the bone. 
There were six entries of Two-year-old Fillies. The Class,
