226 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Leeds. 
been expected in a district wliicli has always been considered to 
produce this class of animal to perfection. 
" Roadster Stallions. — A vei'y fine class of animals. Tlic prize 
horse, a red roan, was a very excellent animal, with free action 
and great activity, showing very strongly the breed of the old 
Norfolk trotter. He only required a little more appearance of 
breed about the head to make him a perfect stallion, for getting 
that most desirable animal, the ' cob.' 
" The roadster mares or geldings were not a very high quality, 
and there is no doubt that if this prize should be continued by 
the Society, great improvements will take place in a very useful 
animal. 
" The pony class was a very pretty one, but it is much to be 
regretted that these animals, if worthy of notice by the Society, 
were not thought worthy of having a prize set apart for a good 
sire. 
" Lord Londeshoronyli s Class, — This class, which specially at- 
tracted and interested the public, contained many splendid 
animals of high quality and great value, and was deservedly 
'highly commended' by the judges. 
'■^ Ayricultural Stallions. — There were 27 horses of very good 
quality in this class, in which a great improvement upon the 
Warwick and Canterbury Shows was manifested ; but that for 
two-year-old stallions was not so good. The Marcs and Foals 
class had some very good animals, but not of a very high 
standard. 
" Tico-i/ear-old Fillies, Agricultural. — Some very nice animals 
were exhibited here ; two very excellent fillies belonging to the 
Prince Consort were greatly and justly admired. 
" Draij-LIorses. — In Class I., some very fine horses were en- 
tered which showed to great advantage in the ring. 
"In Class II. the judges awarded no prize, and in the rest of 
the classes the entries were few, and of no great merit. 
" In conclusion I would observe that if the prizes for hunting 
and thorough-bred horses are adopted by the Council, better 
arrangements will be required both /or the comfort and securit}' 
of these valuable animals ; by taking such measures the Society 
will receive better support, and the public derive the great 
gratification of witnessing a splendid exhibition of much national 
importance. The formation of a ring for exhibiting the horses 
was considered a great boon by the public." 
Sheep. 
Leicesters. — The Judges did not consider these classes quite so 
good as usual, notwithstanding that Mr. Sanday continued to
