120 Notes on the ThorougJihred Stallions Exlnhited at the 
Eclipse, a chestnut, foaled in 1883, by Ethus or Van Amburgh 
out of Tormentor by King Tom, standing about 16 hands, has 
good shoulders and well-placed legs, and is altogether a useful 
horse. He has been selected for District Class J, in which no 
awards were made by the Judges. 
Pearl Diver, brown, foaled in 1882, by Master Kildare out of 
Three Pearls by Rosicrucian, is a nice-topped horse, well adapted 
for crossing with strong mares, and has been selected together 
with Lion for District Class C. 
The entries in District Class E numbered eleven, and 
Piirsehearer, Sir Joseph, and War Path were selected for the 
premiums, Jarnac and Knight Templar being reserved. Purse- 
hearer, by Scottish Chief out of Thrift by Stockwell, is a bay, 
standing just under 15 hands 3 inches, and was foaled in 1879. 
He is a short-legged, active horse, and will probably prove him- 
self a useful sire. Sir Joseph, also a bay, by Pero Gomez out of 
Prosperity by Ethelbert, 14 years old, is a good-topped horse, 
showing much quality. TT^ftj- Path , foaled in 1882, by Uncas out 
of Installation by Knight of the Garter, is an up-standing horse, 
with good shoulders and well-placed fore-legs. He is a bay, 
with black points, and is a good-looking animal. 
Jarnac, by Flying Dutchman out of Joilette by Surplice, is 
22 years old. Knight Templar, a bay, foaled in 1874, by The 
Baron out of Miss Croft by Thormanby, is a charming well- 
balanced horse, and he has been selected to serve in Class H for 
Stirlingshire and district, for which no award was made from 
the original entries. Last year he failed to pass the veterinary 
examination at the Nottingham Spring Show ; but at Newcastle 
in 1887 he qualified, and was the Royal Agidcultural Society's 
premium stallion for the district of Durham. 
Ten horses were entered in District Class F, and the three 
premiums fell to Loadstone, Portnellan, and Scherzo. No horses 
were reserved. Loadstone, by Pellegrino out of Selly Oak by 
Paul Jones, is a dark brown, standing upwards of 16 hands 
3 inches, and he has great bone and substance generally. He 
has been serving in Wales, and was not entered last year. 
Scherzo, by Galopin out of Bowstring by Tom Bowline, is a 
bay, 6 years old, and stood for the same district as a premium 
winner last year. He is a level, well-put-together horse, though 
exception might be taken to his shoulders, notwithstanding 
which he is likely to prove a useful sire. 
There was a good entry of eleven stallions in District Class 
G, out of which (2.G., Silver Croivn, and Suleiman were selected 
for premiums, with Lion and Prescription reserved. All these 
horses gained premiums last year. Q.O., a brown, foaled
