Report of the Live-Stock 
state that those classes were well represented; neither were many of the 
classes of great excellence, yet, in some, we fonnd animals of great merit, and 
pure types of the English carthorse. 
Class 1. Agricultural Stallions foaled in 1875, 1876, 1877, 1878. — No. 7, 
a brown horse, was placed first. This is an uncommonly good animal, with 
fine action ; No. 6 coming second. This is a heavy, useful black horse, of 
great substance, but wanting the action of the first-prize horse. No. 2 was 
placed third, and No. 1 reserve number. 
Class 2. Agricultural Stallions foaled in 1879. — No. 12, a hay oolt, was 
easily selected for the first prize ; he will some day be seen elsewhere to the 
front. No. 10 came second. This is a strong useful colt. No. 13 was placed 
third, and No. 15 highly commended and reserve number. 
Class 3. Agricultural Stallioiis foaled in 1880. — No. 24, a very useful 
chestnut colt, with good actiou, came first ; and, for the second and third 
prizes, two brown colts, Nos. 27 and 26. No. 30 was highly commended 
and reserve number, and No. 20 commended. This Class was well filled, no 
less than 15 being present. 
Class 13. Agricultural Mare and Foal. — This prize was without difiB- 
culty awarded to No. 79, a good bay mare and foal. This is a wide thick 
mare with good action. No. 87, a roan mare, came second. No. 80 was third, 
with No. 82 as reseiwe number. 
Class 19. Agricultural Filly foaled in 1879. — Here our task was easy: 
the first prize falling to No. 116, a very good brown mare with fine action, 
flat-boned legs and good feet, the verj' stamp for a good brood mare. No. 112 
came second. This is a heavy black mare with splendid action, good legs and 
feet, but wanting the substance of the brown mare. No. 113, a bay mare, 
came third ; with No. 114 highly commended and reserve numher. 
Class 20. Agricultural Filly foaled in 1880. — We soon selected No. 121 
for the ih-st place. This is a good black filly, with plenty of substance and a 
fine mover. No. 118, another black, coming second ; with No. 119, a chestnut, 
third; and No. 122 reserve number. 
Class 25. Fair of Agricultural Horses {Mares or Geldings') foaled previous 
to the year 1878. — We were sorry to see only one entry in this Class, to which 
we awarded the first prize, it being considered of sufficient merit. 
Class 26. Mare or Gelding foaled in the year 1878. — Here we had only 
one entry. We awarded the first prize ; though it was doubtful whether there 
was sufiicient merit. 
Class 27. Agricultural Gelding foaled in the year 1879. — We had no 
difficulty in awarding the first prize to No. 154, a very good bay colt. This 
horse has great powers, 'with good legs and feet and fine action. No. 153 
came second — only two being present out of three entries. 
Class 28. Agricultural Geldings foaled in 1880. — Only three entries in 
this Class. W e awarded the first prize to No. 156 ; the second to No. 157 ; 
making No. 158 the reserve number and highly commended. Under a special 
note in the rules of the Society, the third prize in this Class was withheld, 
unless six entries were exhibited. Only three entries coming into the ling, 
no third prize was awarded. 
Champion Prize for Agricultural Stallions.' — This valuable prize fell to 
No. 7, the brown horse that won in Class 1. 
We cannot conclude this Eeport without expressing our thanks to the 
Steward of this Division for the very careful arrangements he had made, and 
for the excellent manner in which they were carried out ; no time being lost 
in getting the various classes into the ring.
