536 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Liverpool. 
mare " Sensation," owned by Mr. C. W. Brierley, Prestwich, 
and bred by Mr. Tennant, Barlow, Yorkshire. She has won 
many prizes, and would run a Norfolk cob hard in a trotting- 
match. In the large ring she was trotted out daily, and her 
extraordinary action drew forth loud applause from the crowd. 
It was one of the " sights " of the yard. A small though good 
Class was that of four-year-old mares or geldings over 16 hands. 
Mr. Drew's well-balanced brown, bred in Derbyshire, was a 
distinct first. She is well ribbed-up, stylish in gait, and firm in 
build ; while her legs and feet speak well for her durability, 
and her bone is clean and flat. The Earl of Ellesmere's second 
gelding has great muscle. The Class of the same age under 
16 hands was a failure, as was also that of three-year-old geldings. 
Two-year-old geldings were fairly represented. Mr. Henry 
Smith's first has plenty of body but rather light bone. The 
second one, belonging to Mr. T. H. Miller, looks like growing 
into a useful horse. The Report of the Judges of the above 
classes is as follows : — ■ 
Class 1. — No. 14 is a grand horse with splendid action, and we consider 
him well worthy of the high honours awarded him. No. 9 is a grand heavy- 
horse. No. 21 is a thick compact horsj. No. 25 is a very useful horse. The 
whole class is a large and good one. 
Class 2. — No. 41 is a very promising colt indeed. No. 43 is also a very 
promising colt. No. 47 is a nice colt. No. 30 is a useful colt. The above are 
a lot of grand colts. 
Class 3. — No. 55 is a good heavy colt. No. 56 is a colt of nice quality. 
No. 66 is a useful colt but little, being a late foal. 
Class 13. — An extraordinary good class. 
Class 16. — A very good class. 
Class 17. — With the exception of one entry, this is an extraordinarily grand 
class. 
Class 20. — A very useful class. 
Class 26. — A class of powerful animals. 
Class 27. — No. 244, a pair of nice mares, remainder of class moderate. 
Class 28. — No. 254, a grand wide mare, with fine action. No. 258, a 
stylish finely-topped mare. The remainder of class very good. 
Class 29. — A very good class. 
Class 30. — Only one entry, and no merit. 
Class 31. — Only one shown, and no merit. 
Class 32. — No. 273, a fine topped colt, but short of bone. No. 274, a 
colt of nice quality. 
We consider the horses shown in the above classes to be very good indeed.

Clydesdales. — The aged class of stallions was worthily 
headed by Mr. Crowther's famous " Topsman," an 8-year-old 
chestnut, bred by Mr. Wilson, Whiteside, Aberdeenshire, and the 
winner of the highest honours in Scotland, when the property of 
Mr. Galbraith, Croy Cunningham. This horse has not much of
