Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Nexccastle. 525 
CoACHLSG OR Cleveland Horses. 
Praiseworthy efforts are being made to revive the breeding 
of these useful horses. It was therefore fitting for the Royal 
Agricultural Society to provide classes for them at the New- 
castle Show. The entries were numerous : 20 stallions, 3 mares, 
and 12 two-year-old fillies and geldings — in all 35, but many 
of the animals were not forward. As a whole, the muster was 
of fair quality, though not quite so good as could have been 
wished. Xearly all the winners were of high merit, but there 
was less of the fine old Cleveland character than we had hoped 
to see in the classes. 
In the Class of Stallions, Mr. W. Burdett-Coutts, M.P., took 
the lead with his handsome three-vear bay horse " Sultan," which 
won the first prize at the London Show, and which has since won 
first prize at the ^ orkshire Show. He is an attractive, upstand- 
ing horse, with good bone, fine qualitv and excellent action, 
but lacks substance in bodv. He was bred bv Mr. George 
Leefe, Fryton, Slingsby, \ orkshire, and got bv " Emperor " 
(387). " Sultan " is entered in the newly-established Cleveland 
Stud Book, his number being 667. Major Godman had a close 
second in " Guardsman," a well-formed two-year-old bay of 
much promise, but as yet not perfect in action. He was bred 
by Mr. Isaac Scarth, Mount Pleasant, East Rounton, Northaller- 
ton, and got by " Prince of Cleveland," late " Blooming 
Heather" (647). The third prize went to Mr. H. R. W. 
Hart, for Wonderful Lord," a grand old horse, now out of 
bloom. 
In the Mare and Foal Class only two mares appeared. !Mr. 
F. W. Horsfall took the first prize with "Bonny" (14), a neat, 
active, aged bay, a trifle light in bone ; bred bv Mr. T. Goodrick, 
Sowerby, Thirsk, and got by " Luck's All " (188), and out of a 
mare by " Salesman " (271). She had at foot an excellent filly- 
foal by " Fidius Dius." Mr. John Lett's second mare, " Daisy," 
is a good, useful, five-year-old bay, bred by himself and got by 
*' The General." 
The Class of Two-year-old Fillies and Geldings contained 
several very promising young animals of desirable quality, if 
some of them were deficient in Cleveland character. Mr. George 
Scoby headed the Class with " Hannah," a bay filly of much 
promise, well topped, of nice quality and good action, but 
scarcely so well furnished with bone as could be desired. 
She was bred by himself, and got bv "Salesman." ^fr. John 
\\ hite's second-prize filly, " Lady Annie," is a strong, well-made 
bay of a useful stamp, but not then moving so well as could be 
wished.
