Report on the Exhibition of Lice-Stock at Neiocastle. 527 
Wonder 2nd," a finely-shaped brown of grand quality, stepped 
into the leading position. There were a like number of entries 
in the Class of Pony Stallions under 12 hands. Here the 
Marquis of Londonderry, who owns some of the finest ponies 
in the kingdom, carried away the coveted card with "Auchen- 
dennan," a beautiful little black, bred by Mr. J. M. Martin, and 
got by "Mars." Lords A. and L. Cecil came second with 
" Tommy," a very attractive aged bay, of unknown breeding. 
Tlie Class of Hackney Mares and Foals, with eight entries, 
was not strong. The first-prize winner, however, Mrs. Mackie's 
" Lady VVatton 2nd " (470), is a capital mare, of excellent form 
and quality. Mr. A. Fewson, of Hedon, Hull, had a fairly 
good second in "Lily" (219), a good-looking chestnut of his 
own breeding, and got by " Lord Derby 2nd." Mr. Henry 
Moore's useful mare, " Frisk," by " Lord Derby " (417), and 
out of "Princess" (289), by "Denmark" (177), came third. 
Only four Hackney Mares of the smallest size were entered. 
Lieutenant-Colonel T. H. Parker, of Warwick Hall, Carlisle, 
came first with " Nelly Bligh," a very good bay, bred by 
Mr. H. Persse, Glenarde, Galway, and got by " Thomas- 
town." Mr. W. R. Trotter, of South Acomb, Stocksfield-on- 
Tyne, followed closely with " Lucy," a nice, useful bay of 
unknown breeding, with good foal by " Young Perfection." 
Only four Pony Mares were entered in the two Classes. Lords 
A. and L. Cecil got the two first prizes for " Podgy," a very 
good eleven-year-old grey, and " Ballant^ne," a nice little black, 
age and breeding unknown. 
In the Class for Weight-carrying Hackney Mares or Geldings 
there were only three entries — one of these being absent. Mr. 
John Robinson's " Princess," a very good chestnut, by " Lord 
Derby 2nd," was rightly enough placed first. Mr. W. R. 
Trotter got the " reserve " ticket for " Constance," a useful 
brown, bred by Mr. John Rowell, Manor Farm, Bury, and got 
by " D'Oyley's Confidence." 
There was a better turn-out in the Light-weight Class, which 
had nine entries, and two or three very good mares. Mr. John 
Robinson's " Ethel " was properly placed first. She is a small 
but well-made five-year-old bay, with excellent action, breeder 
unknown. Mr. John Dunne, of Moorehouse Hall, took the 
second prize with " Carmarthen," a good, useful red roan. 
There was a very good Class, with ten entries, of Pony Mares 
or Geldings, above 13 and not exceeding 14 hands. The 
invincible " Magpie " came out as blooming and active as ever, 
and of course again won the leading prize for Mr. Pope. Mr. 
R. Jackson, of Wetheral Abbey, Carlisle, got the second prize 
for " Rovvena," a very good brown, bred by Mr. G. Spraggon.
