The Doncaater Meeting. 
In noticing below the various classes at the Doncaster 
Meeting, they are taken in the catalogue order. The views of 
the Judges of the respective sections are embodied, and, where 
necessary, quotations are given verbatim from the Judges' 
reports. The names of Stewards and Judges, with the complete 
list of Awards, will be found in the Appendix, page xcvii. 
Light Horses. 
Thorouglihred Stallions. — This was not a competitive class, 
being restricted to the three horses which won the three premiums 
of 200Z. each, offered by the Society, and special Gold Medals 
provided by the Doncaster Local Committee, at the Spring 
Show, held at the Royal Agricultural Hall, London, March 3 
to 6, 1891. They were Mr. Thomas Carr's Crom-A-Boo, 
foaled in 1881, bred by Mr. J. Ridley ; Mr. David Cooper's 
Linnceus, foaled in 1878, bred by Mr. A. Harrison; and Mr. 
Edwin Hodge Banks's Moss-Haiol-, foaled in 1880, bred 
by the owner. During the season of 1891, Crom-A-Boo 
stood at Ripon, and travelled the district ; Linnceus stood at 
Bainesse, and travelled to Bedale, Northallerton, Scotch Corner, 
and Richmond ; and Moss-Hawlc stood at Driffield, and travelled 
the district. 
Hunters. — This section was arranged in 11 classes, the same 
number as at the Windsor Meeting in 1889. Last year at 
Plymouth there were six classes. At Doncaster the classes 
were taken alternately by two sets of Judges, the one set 
dealing with Classes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 ; and the other set with 
Classes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. For such a horse-breeding district, 
the display of hunters was disappointing, and the quality 
" did not come up to expectation, particularly in the younger 
classes." 
Class 1, for hunter mare and foal, was good both in number 
and in quality. Mr. Frank B. Wilkinson's fii-st-prize mare 
Jessie, a fourteen-year-old bay, with remarkably neat fore-hand, 
has a loug showyard record. Next was placed Mr. Isaac D. 
Dunn's Afalunta, whose loins and quarters are faultless. Both 
these mares possess exceptional merit. Mr, Frederick Blenkin's 
Princess Beatrice was third. 
Class 2, for hunter mare or gelding, up to 15 stone, foaled 
in 1885 or 1886, furnished some fine specimens of weight- 
carrying hunters, Messrs. Beunet and Mai-tyn's first-prize 
gelding Nimrod " being especially a horse of merit." 
Class 3, for hunter mare or gelding, up to 12 stone, foaled 
in 1885 or 188G, attracted a larger number of entries than any
