a very fine specimen of a draught mare. Mr. Hood s •' Ethel," 
" Laura Lee's most dangerous opponent, has perhaps a slight 
advantage in the matter of feet and legs, but ultimately " Laura 
Lee " was placed first. This decision was generally approved 
of, as last year " Lam'a Lee " was regarded as the best Clydes- 
dale mare shown. At the Dumfries Show, a twelvemonth ago, 
she was beaten by " Ethel,"' who also gained the Champion 
Cup, but upon whom the tables were now turned. There were 
only half a dozen three-year-old fillies entered ; but quality made 
up for any deficiency in quantity, and a better filly than Mr. 
Riddell's " Sunrise " it would be almost impossible to see. Her 
merits have been recognised at many other Shows, and at 
Windsor the Judges gave her the highest honours they had to 
bestow, as, in addition to being first in her Class, she gained the 
Queen's Medal and the Championship Prize of 2bl., the gift of 
the Clydesdale Society. Mr. Gilmour's " Primrose," own sister 
to " Laura Lee," and, like her relative, a winner at Newcastle, 
was second. Thus " Darnley's" reputation as a sire was en- 
hanced, the winning barren mare, and the first and second in 
the Three-year-old Class, being by him. 
Thirteen out of sixteen two-year-old fillies came out, and 
there was very little to choose between the first three, while 
had the Judges reversed the order of the first two, no one could 
have said that they committed an error. Mr. Dunn's " Lady 
Laurence " and Mr. Walker's " Sweetbriar " are old opponents 
— for their years — and victory has rested sometimes with one 
and sometimes with the other. On the present occasion it 
was " Lady Laurence " who was put first. Lord Polwarth's 
" Luxury " was the third of as promising a trio of fillies as one 
Avould wish to see. The yearling fillies wei'e a little behind the 
others in appearance, though a good woi'd must be said in 
favour of the First Prize winner, Mr. Scott's " Scottish Snow- 
drop," another of " Prince of Wales's " set. Mr. Scott, who 
won in the Yearling Class last year with " Scottish Rose," has 
now been successful for two years running. 
Report of the Judges of Clydesdale Horses. 
[Classes 51 to 59.] 
Class 51. Stallions foaled previous to 1886. — There were five entries in 
this Class, of which three appeared before the Judges. The Fikst and 
Seco?j-d Prize horses, No. 743 (Mr. D. Riddell's Grand National), and No. 
742 (the Duke of Portland's iMacaiday), were very good specimens of the 
breed, and were nearly equal in merit. 
Class 52. Stallions foaled iri 1886. — There were eight entries in this 
Class, of which four were forward. This was, on the whole, a fairly good 
Class. It contained, in No. 751 (Mr. John Gilmour's Prince of Al/>ion), one
