526 Report on Ike Exhibition of Live- Stock at Neioeastte. 
Iteport of tlie Judges of Coaching or Cleveland Stallions. 
Class 13. — The class, on the whole, was not a strong one, witli the exception 
of the prize animals. The first prize. No. 121, is a fine upstanding horse, 
with ph-nty of qualit_y, freedom of action, and bone, but lacks deptli of bodj'. 
The second, No. 120, is a useful young horse, but lacks action. The third 
prize. No. 137, is a grand type of old horse, but has seen better days. The 
reserve, No. 130, is short of size. 
Class 23. Mares and Foals. — Only two entries. The first prize is a nice 
quality of animal, rather short of bone, but a very nice strong filly; foal at 
foot. The second prize has not the size or quality of the first. 
Class 51. Tim-year-old Geldings or Fillies. — The first prize is a promising 
young mare, with good action and quality, and very good top, but rather 
short of bone. The second prize is a big bony filly, but was dead amiss, and 
could not make a good show. No. 3, a nice bro^vn colt, with good top, but 
might have better action. 
There were two or three other promising young things, but they were short 
of size, and did not show the Cleveland character.

Hackneys and Ponies. 
The collection of Hackney horses, taken as a whole, was far 
from satisfactory. The classes were much smaller than at 
Norwich, and the competition in several of them was dis- 
appointing. There were, to be sure, a number of really good 
hackneys in the Yard, but, on the other hand, there was a con- 
siderable percentage of secondary animals. The character of 
the display is well indicated by the Report of the Judges. 
Six Hackney Stallions, above 15 hands, were entered, but 
only four appeared. The Judges found a clear enough first in 
Mr. Thomas Reed's " Buckrose " (1629), a thick, active bay, 
well furnished with muscle, bred by his owner, and got by 
" County Member." Mr. Walter Gilbey's active and stylish 
chestnut horse, " Volunteer " (1217), made a fairly good second. 
A like number competed in the Class for Hackney Stallions 
above 14, and not exceeding 15 hands. Mr. John Robinson, 
of Cleavland House, Hull, took the lead with " Young Lord 
Derby," a very useful-looking three-year-old dark chestnut, 
bred by Mr. T. Stephenson, and got by the famous sire, " Lord 
Derby 2nd." Mr. A. Lewis came second with " Confi- 
dential," a fairly good four-year-old bay, which was exhibited 
unsuccessfully at Norwich last year. 
In the Class for Pony Stallions above 12 but not exceed- 
ing 14 hands, four were entered ; but Mr. Burdett-Coutts's 
" Tommy " did not put in an appearance. Mr. Christopher W. 
Wilson was, as usual, invincible here. His beautiful seven- 
year-old black, " Pomfret Wonder," was not quite so blooming 
as we have seen him, so that his younger relative, " Little
