Dkaught Horses. 
Of these not very much can be said : and the poorness of the 
entries must have surprised even the least sanguine of the 
Council. There is surely no lack of dray horses exceeding 16 
hands 2 inches in height, and not qualified to compete as Shires, 
Clydesdales, or SufFolks ; but where were they ? There were only 
four entries in the Dray Class, and eight only in the Agricultural 
Class. There was not a single entry for pairs of dray horses, 
and Lord Wantage was the sole owner represented in the Class 
for Agricultural Pairs, a very poor show for prizes, worth in the 
aggregate 120L One would have thought that these would be 
popular Classes. At the cart-horse parade held on Whitsun 
Monday, a number of valuable and massive animals, but not 
eligible for either of the Stud-books, were seen, and as "Windsor 
is not far from town, the writer, for one, thought that this 
division would have been worth looking at.

these prizes if better entries are not forthcoming.

Asses. 
Seventeen donkeys, as the general public would persist in 
calling what the catalogue designated Asses, were entered in 
the two Classes devoted to these animals. As the majority of 
Englishmen see no prouder specimens than those in coster- 
mongers' barrows and at the seaside, it goes without saying 
that we are poor judges of Egyptians, Poitous, Poitou-Spanish, 
Assyrians, and others which were shown in the Stallion Class, 
Mr. Charles Sutherland, well known as an accomplished four- 
horse coachman, also devotes much time and trouble to the 
breeding of asses; and his two, "Malta Jack," a black Maltese, 
and " Cetewayo," a black Poitou Maltese, were first and second. 
They were far and away the best in the Class ; but as a 
matter of fact the money value of the second was very many 
times that of the first. In the Class for She Asses, with or with- 
out foal, Mr. G. Hanbury was first with " Zenobia,"' a fine 
lengthy specimen of the Spanish variety.
