time." Mr. Frederick Chiklerhouse's M.P. wortliily filled the 
second place, " but did not quite go with the same dash." Mr. 
Alfred Lewis's Tij) Top Shot "is a very taking horse, but per- 
haps not quite of the same hackney type as the other two." In 
Class 20, for stallions above 14 hands and not exceeding 15 
hands, Mr. John Henry Smith's Sensation Gth " is a young 
horse of gi-eat promise ; he shows plenty of quality, has fine 
riding shoulders, and moves with plenty of freedom." It is a rare 
experience for Mr. Harry Livesey's Evolution to find himself in 
the second place, but the Judges were unanimous in giving the 
younger horse the precedence. Mr. Seth Lofthouse's Lord Rattler 
was third. This class, as a whole, " was only just a fair one." 
Class 21, for hackney stallions foaled in 1888, was of 
moderate quality, and calls for no special comment. Mr. Henry 
Moore's Caxfon was placed first. 
Class 22, for stallions foaled in 1889, was regarded by the 
Judges as the best of the hackney stallion classes. It contained 
many animals of high merit, auguring well for the future of 
hackney breeding. The first prize went to Mr. F. Brough's 
Entliorpe Performer, "a beautiful horse full of quality, a fine all- 
round mover, and likely to develop into a hackney of the right 
type." He was placed in reserve for the male championship. 
The second-prize animal, Mr. Benjamin How's Broiighton Eeality, 
" is a colt with much substance and goes with great courage, 
and is adapted to do muck good upon mares witli. quality." Mr. 
William Yeoman's third prize, Eom^ilus, " is a fine slashing horse, 
and only wants time to fill in and make a very valuable animal." 
Five other horses in this class were noticed. 
Class 23, for hackney brood mare and foal, above fifteen hands, 
was of superior quality. The prizes went, first to His Royal 
Highness the Prince of Wales for New Yorlc ; second and third 
to Mr. Harry Livesey for Coiintess and Lady Marion — all higli- 
class animals. Mr. Livesey's mares were of a type that the 
Judges preferred to the first-prize winner, but the exceptional 
movement of the Prince of Wales's mare secured her the first 
place. It may here be mentioned that His Royal Highness 
made as many as seven entries in the horse classes. 
Class 24, for brood mare and foal, above fourteen hands and 
not exceeding fifteen hands, was well filled. The first-prize 
animal, Mr. Harry Livesey's Lily, " is a beautiful mare, and goes 
with great force " ; she was reserve to the same exhibitor's 
female champion. The second, Mr. F. W. Buttle's Eosalind, " is 
of the useful sort," and " by her superior force of action " was 
awarded precedence over Mr. Livesey's Nellie 3rd. 
Class 25, for hackney mare or gelding, above fourteen hands,
