Bejport on the Horses Exhibited at Wiiidsor. 661 
liglit-legged Welsh mares, and was, a few years since, satisfied 
Avith the result. 
To return to the Show-ground, howev^er, it might be worth 
while to classify hunter brood mares according to weight, making 
the minimum of one class fifteen stone, as under that arrange- 
ment heavier mares, which could have no possible chance of 
success against those showing more " quality," could win prizes. 
The classes for Young Himters yv ere exceedingly satisfactory ; 
and the three-year-old geldings numbered twenty-two. Mr. 
Charles Clarke, of Ashby-de-la-Launde, appears to have ac- 
quired the secret of turning out a constant supply of well- 
shaped youngsters, his name appearing more than once in the 
list of breeders. 
Here, as in other departments of the Show, the different 
opinions which Judges entertain were made manifest, for the 
First Prize fell to Mr. J. E. Hobson's fine brown colt, " Mikado " 
by " Martyrdom," who was third at Nottingham last year in 
the Two-year-old Class to " Sportsman " by " Outfit." On the 
present occasion the tables were turned, and "Sportsman" 
was not noticed; while Mr. Turner's "Lord Brampton" by 
" Mr. Winkle," who won at Islington, was now third. With 
good luck, " Mikado " should grow into a nice horse, as he has 
capital limbs and an excellent back, while he also carries his 
head well. Another very nice colt was Mr. Elliott's " Alpha " 
by " Omega " ; he is a nice, short, coupled horse, and with 
another year over his head should do well. Mr. Martin's 
" King Cole " by " Fabius " will rank in the light-weight 
division, as he has not very much bone. If the Three-year-old 
Fillies were less numerous than the colts, they nevertheless made 
up a capital class ; but when the awards were distributed, it 
was found that the Judges had disagreed with those at Peter- 
borough, and that several fillies which had won premiums at 
the Spring Show at Islington were not accounted worthy of 
prizes at Windsor. At Peterborough Mr. Miles's " Princess " 
by " Pero Gomez " (a horse who has been more successful as a 
hunter sire than as a sire of racehorses) was first, and Mr. 
Martin's " Lady Colin " by " Fabius," were first and second 
respectively ; but at Windsor " Lady Colin " gained the First 
Prize and " Princess " was nowhere. 
Mr. Sanders's "May Morn" by "Theologian"; Mr. Mar- 
tin's " ]\Iiss Florence " by " Fabius " ; the same owner's " Lady 
Colin," aforesaid ; Mr. Godson's " Improver " by " Outfit " ; Sir 
Thomas Lennard's " St. Ebba " by " St. Peter " ; Mr. Miles's 
"Princess" mentioned above; and Major Dent's "Florence" 
by " Spendtkrift " ; were shown fit the Islington Spring Show,
