616 Repwt of the Senior Steward of Live-Stock at Nottingham, 
Nos. 140 (Compton Stud Company's brides) and l i4 (Mr. Edwin H, Banks's 
Moss Haick) were well worthy of their high commendations. 
Class 20 — Hunter Mares and Foals — was a fairly good class of average 
merit, but contained nothing of very superior quality. 
Class 21. Hunter Mares in Foal. — Only two mares were entered, but 
these were exceptionally good in quality, and we therefore specially recom- 
mended that the Second Prize should be given. 
Class 34. Weight-carryin;/ Mares and Geldings foaled before 1884. — This 
was only a moderately good class. The prize-winners were fairly good, and 
well known in the Show ring, but as a rule those that possessed good quality 
were deficient in bone to carry fifteen stone over a strong country. 
Class 35. Light Weight Mares and Geldings foaled before 1884. — This was 
qiute a moderate class, with the exception of the Fiesx Prize horse (Mr. T. 
Crutcher's Huntsman), which was good, but he was better suited for fourteen 
than twelve stone. 
Class 36. Four-year-old Geldings. — This was a fairly good class, the First 
Prize horse (Lord Middleton's Beefeater) being an exceptionally nice animal. 
Class 37. Four-year-old Mares. — A fairly good class, but small in 
number: the First Prize taker (Mr. John Cooper's Wandering Maid) a beau- 
tiful mare, and the Second (Mr. Jas. S. Darrell's Brunette) almost equally 
good. 
Class 38. Three-year-old Geldings. — This was a good clas{>, the Prize 
animals being of exceptional merit. 
Class 39. Three-year-old Fillies. — This was a fairly good class, but 
small in number. 
Class 40. Two-year-old Geldings. — A class of great merit, and large 
in number. The average merit was perhaps as high as that of any class of 
two-year-olds that ever appeared in a Show ring. The quality and substance 
^vere both excellent. 
Class 41. Tivo-year-old Fillies. — This was fairly good, but small in 
number, and calls for no special I'emark. 
Class 42 — Yearlings — was very good, the First (Mr. N. H. Hodgson's 
Rumtifoozleum) and Secoxd (31r. Charles Clarke's chestnut gelding) Prize 
animals being of exceptional quality. 
It must be a source of great satisfaction to all those who have been tak- 
ing an active part in promoting the breeding of hunters, to note the very 
excellent show of young horses which appeared in the various classes at this 
Show, denoting as it does that there are mares still left in the country capable 
of breeding good hunters, and that the distribution of sound well-bred sires 
ifi already beginning to bear fruit which it may be hoped will rapidly increase 
in quality and quantity in the course of a few years. 
We cannot conclude our lleport without expressing our sense of the 
admirable manner inwliich the Stewards of our department performed their 
diflicult task, and lightened our labours by rendering us every assistance in 
their power.

Report of the Judyes of Coaching or Cleveland and Harness Horses. 
[Classes 11, 22, 43 to 49.] 
AVe considered the First Prize takers in each of the classes for coaching, 
stallions, and mares, the only animals with good action. 
There were very few animals in the harnass classes brought before us. 
In Class 47, for animals exceeding fifteen hands there were five entries,
