horse indeed. As the Two-year-old Class was a very strong one, 
it shows the strength of Mr. Wolton's stable that Mr. Woltun 
was able to win with one of his own breeding, "Pride's Pilgrim,"' 
a wonderfully short-backed and short-legged colt, and well 
topped. Very little inferior to him was Messrs. Pratt & Sou's 
well-grown colt "Crawley Cup Beai'er," while "The Don'' of 
Mr. Catchpole — an old Suffolk name — was a fair third ; l)ut 
would have been better still liad he not been a trifle back ou 
the knees. 
These four winners in due time appeared to compete 
for Championship honours, and an interesting tussle ensued. 
" Emperor " had a large following, and as he is hnt a four-year- 
old he was not put out of coui-t, on the plea that he might now 
give way to a younger competitor. The real contest lay between 
" Emperor " and the three-year-old " Wedgewood," and after 
much deliberation the Judges decided in favour of " Wedge- 
wood," who thus took the Queen's Gold Medal, and 251. given 
by the Suffolk Stud-book Association, a distinction which gives 
him a high place among the horses of the year, the more so as 
he had never been beaten at any Show at which he had pi*e- 
viously appearel. The yearlings were another strong Class, 
and the winner, Mr. Wrinch's " Nottingham," a white-ticked 
colt, had many good points in his favour, though he is too low on 
the shoulder, and is a somewhat plain youngster. In fact, in 
point of make and shape he seemed inferior to Mr. Pettit's 
" Windsor Captain," a powerful colt on good legs, and having 
a strong back and loins. 
The brood mares and foals were good, and fairly numerous ; 
and the Judges preferred Mr. Manfred BiddelFs " Miller" to 
Mr. Wrinch's "Juno," though a good many of the ring-side 
ci'itics would have put them in reverse order. The barren 
mares were even better still ; and in this class it was that the 
winner of the Queen's Medal and the bonus given by the Suffolk 
Stud-book Association was found, viz. Mr. Byford's mare 
" Bounce." Mr. Byford followed up his luck by winning in the 
Three-year-old Filly Class with "Mettle"; Mr. Smith's "Dora" 
was Second, and Mr. Manfred Biddell's " Maybud " Third ; while 
in the Two-yeai'-old and Yearling Classes the chief honours fell 
to the lot of those owners who had already been successful in 
previous Classes — that is to say, Mr. Biddell and Mr. Wolton 
were the winners with "Snap" and "Chieftain's Queen" re- 
spectively. Mr. Wolton's record as exhibitor and breeder is 
sufficiently remarkable to be made the subject of special notice. 
He won First Prize in the Aged Class for Stallions ; First in the 
Two-year-old Class ; and First in the Class for Yearling Fillies.
