544 Report on the Exhibition oj Live Stock at Liverpool. 
"Cymro Bach," a very neat one from the land of ponies, got third. No. 149, 
" Fireworks," a compact little gentleman, but lackiug the flash of his name- 
sake, was highly commended and Reserve. 
Class 23. Hunting Brood Mares. — A very moderate lot, of which No. 220, 
" Lady Lyne," was decidedly the best, and, thanks to her sire " Codrington," 
showed more quality than one would expect in a half-bred one ; the daylight 
between her le*s was barely qualified by her length, of which she was not 
deficient; and that she can breed well was lully exemplified in Class 35, where 
her produce by "Laughing Stock" got the second prize. "Lady Lyne," 
formerly known as " Rosamond," was ridden by the late Sir Chailes Slinusby 
on the day that he met with his death, in the ferry-boat accident, whilst 
crossing the river with his hounds. No. 218, "Tidy," a compact mare, with 
good legs and shoulders, and well made up for the occasion, was placed second. 
No. 219, "Sweetheart," a long, roomy, useful animal, third; and No. 223, 
" Gipsy," highly commended and Reserve. 
Class 24. Hackney Brood Mar's. — A very nice level animal was the winner, 
No. 228, " Nelly," with a marvellous foal by " Prime Minister." It is said 
there is nothing like mother's milk, but to judge from the condition of the 
mother, this youngster must have been dipping his nose into something that 
suited him better. No. 230, "Miss Polly," on good short legs, was quite the 
right sort for a roadster. No. 231, " S\bil," a well-bred galloping hack, was 
third, with No. 225 highly commended and Reserve. 
Class 25. Pony Brood Mares. — A small entry, but, on the whole, a good lot. 
No. 235, "Pet," got the red ribbon, and No. 237, "Lady Downs," the blue. 
No. 233, "Lady Godiva," a rare old sort, twenty-three years old, was third; 
and No. 236, " Mona," highly commended and Reserve. 
Class 33. Hunter, up to 15 stone. — With the exception of the two winners, 
a very short and bad entry. No. 281, " Winder," and No. 280, " Baldersby," 
are both old prize-takers and good weight-carrying hunters. Of the two we 
thought the black the smarter and better goer in his gallop, and more like 
carrying a heavy man through dirt than the good-looking son of " Ainderby," 
so we reversed the Alexandra Park decision, and gave him the first prize. 
Class 34. Hunter, up to 12 stone. — Another very moderate class. The 
winner, No. 289, " Lilengyle," is in many respects a beautiful horse, and gallops 
in great form. His lengthy quarters, rare back and loins, and fine quality, make 
him a very taking animal ; but he is not altogether right about his shoulders, 
and his head and neck are not set on as a hunter's ought to be. No. 285, 
" Vandyke," has not improved on his four-year-old form as much as might be 
expected ; his slow paces are good, but he does not get away in his gallop like 
his rival. No. 287, "Sail," a bloodlike mare, placed third, moved very oily 
and well in her trot; her high clambering action in her gallop spoilt her. 
No. 292, " Polly," the Reserve, is a good sort. 
Class 35. Hunter, Four Years old. — No. 300, "Sir George," won hands down, 
there being very little in the race against, him. Though not without faults, he 
is a powerful weight carrier, and lor a big one moves lightly and well. The 
spokeshave, however, might improve the points of his shoulders, and his quarters 
are somewhat plain, yet, taking him altogether, it will take very good com- 
pany to beat him. No. 'Z97, "Rosalind," daughter of "Lady Lyne," is a 
■well-turned mare, with strong back and loins and good wearing legs, which she 
knows how to use. No. 295, " I'ellona," shows good hunting form, and looks 
like finding her way to the finish in any country. No. 293, "Captain," a 
useful young horse, with moderate hocks, was Reserve. 
Class 36 — Hunter, Three Years old — the best of the hunter classes, was 
headed by " Boynton," a fine dashing colt by " The Baron." When time 
diminishes the daylight between his legs, he will make a good hunter up 
to weight. No. 311, "Kate," by "Laughing Stock," with plenty of action,
