118 Nnfes on iho Thoro'Kjhhred Stallions Exhibited at the 
years, and may be taken as an indication of the growing interest 
felt in the movement througliout the country. Some little dis- 
satisfaction was expressed here and there at the difficulty which 
was experienced in seeing the horses by those who were unable 
to attend the pai'ades : and no doubt the boxes were both small 
and dark as compared with the spacious accommodation provided 
at the Royal Agricultural Society's Spring Shows at Newcastle 
and at Nottingham. 
In District Class Athere were twenty-one entries, and J?aMur, 
Fedometer, and Trucfit were selected for the Queen's premiums ; 
Git 11 Arab, Bed Willow, and Ben Alder being reserved in the 
order named. Of these, Baldur by Doncaster out of Freia by 
Hermit is a golden chestnut, six years old, standing over sixteen 
hands, and it will be remembered that he was placed first at 
the Royal Show held in July last year at Nottingham. Baldur 
has done well since then, and is now a grand specimen of a 
thoroughbred horse. He catches his near hind leg in a way 
which suggests the development of string halt, but he appears 
to be, and was indeed passed, thoroughly sound. Pedometer, a 
brown horse by King Tom, carries his seventeen years well, and, 
though dipped in the back, he looks well, and is a handsome, 
nicely-formed animal. Truefit, a chestnut horse by Outfit out of 
Eleanora by Wild Dayrell, is well-known in the show ring, and 
generally admired. Standing about sixteen hands, well put 
together, with plenty of substance, and on short legs, he is 
undoubtedly a horse of great merit ; but there are those who take 
exception to his feet, which are open to criticism. 
City Arab, a bay horse ten years old, about 15 hands 2 
inches, by Tibthorpe out of a mare by Peon, is quite a model 
hunting sire. Compact, wide, perfect in shape, with plenty of 
substance, he is a little big one, and the only defect which, 
in my opinion, can fairly be found in him is that he is in- 
clined to be somewhat coarse about his neck, and to lack 
quality. 
In District Class B six horses were entered, and the three 
premiums were awarded to Bluegrass, Even, and Moss Ilaivlc, 
Linnceus being reserve. Bluegrass, a nine-year-old chestnut, 
of a pure American strain of blood, by Pat MoUoy out of 
Amy Farley by Planet, is a horse of size and great quality ; his 
thighs and arms may be somewhat light, but he is a good-looking 
sire, sure to do well in any district. Even, by Quits out of 
Evelyn II. by Carnival, is a brown horse of nice size, and looks 
like a hunter. Moss Ilawlc, a chestnut, nine years old, by 
Blair Athol out of Vergiss-mein-nicht by the Flying Dutch- 
man, shows all the quality one would expect from his dia-
