very useful stamp, bred by Mr. James Blyth, Leckie Bank, 
Auchtermuchty, and half-sister to the famous Clydesdale horse, 
" Knight of Snowdon " (2212). The Marquis of Londonderry's 
third mare, " Winnie" (5550), is a thick, short-legged, active 
Clydesdale bay, bred by Mr. R. Hutchinson, Craigsland, Troon, 
Ayrshire, and got by "Lucky Getter." Lord Ellesmere's 
powerful Shire mare, " Farmer," the winner of many prizes, 
was left out in the cold. 
The Geldings made an excellent appearance, the prize animals 
showing great strength and good form. There was a very 
interesting Class of Pairs of Draught Horses, Mares or Geldings 
of any Breed. The first prize went to Lords A. and L. Cecil, for 
their handsome pair of well-known Clydesdale mares, " Edith 
Plantagenet " and " Cornflower," which won a similar honour at 
Edinburgh this year. The former of these two is one of the 
best four-year-old mares in Scotland, and she has won many 
prizes in leading Scotch Shows during the past three years. 
She was bred by Mr. Houston, Whitelevs, Dumbarton, got by 
" Belted Knight'" (1395), and out of the " Topsman " (886), mare 
"Lily of Whiteleys" (2352). "Cornflower" is a year older, 
also a first-class mare, and has likewise won numerous prizes. 
She was bred bv Mr. Fredericks, Drumflower, Wigtonshire, and 
got by " Lord Lyon " (489). 
The Marquis of Londonderry took both the other prizes with 
two pairs of considerable merit.
