The Doncaster Meeting. 
great size, but some of the best were slightly overdoue. The 
solid honoiirs went, in order, to Messrs. H. and R. Ainscough's 
Aurora, Mr. James Blyth's Blythivood Bountiful, and Lord 
Hindlip's Hindlip Lady. 
The yearling fillies (Class 41) were of very good character 
throughout. " A better animal than the first-prize filly (Mr. 
T. Horrocks Miller's Marina) has been seldom met with at any 
show." Mr. John Rowell's Bury Countess " was of great merit." 
The third prize went to Mr. Walter B. Longton's Cronton 
LadyliJce. 
Clydesdales made up 57 entries, against 36 at Plymouth last 
year, and 93 at Windsor in 1889. Of the Clydesdales in the 
Doncaster catalogue, 30 were entered from Scotland, 23 from 
England, and four from Wales. Of the 20 prizes awarded in 
the seven classes, 14 went to Scotland, four to England and two 
to Wales. The two champion prizes and the reserves were 
secured by Scotch exhibitors. 
In a small but good class of three-year-old stallions (Class 
42) the first prize went to Mr. William Montgomery's Breastplate, 
and the second prize to Mr. William Graham's Maccash, — " both 
first-class animals, having good feet and legs, free action, and 
possessing all the characteristics of the breed." 
The largest class of Clydesdales was that for two-year-old 
stallions (Class 43), which contained 13 entries, some of them 
possessing remarkable excellence. Mr. William Kenwick's 
Prince Alexander is a splendid type of the breed, and was se- 
lected to wear the male champion colours. The reserve champion 
card went to Mr. Andrew Montgomery's Prince Patrick, an 
admirable mover, and possessed of first-rate feet and bone. Mr. 
A. Montgomery's Macquhae took the third prize. 
The yearling stallions (Class 44) quite maintained the 
quality of the older classes. Mr. A. Montgomery's Boss Mac- 
gregor was placed first. 
Class 45, for mare and foal, attracted some useful entries. 
The prize-winners — Mr. William Graham's Lizzie of Inchixirlis, 
the Earl of Cawdor's Bell, and Lord Polwarth's Comfort — " were 
a first-class lot, and quite the stamp to propagate the best class 
of Clydesdale hoi'ses." 
The three-year-old fillies (Class 46) furnished the female 
champion in Mr. Sinclair Scott's Scottish Snowdrop. The Earl 
of Cawdor's Docreto was second, and Mr. Patrick Stirling's 
Brenda of Kippendavie was third. " The second, third, and 
fourth were also splendid specimens of the breed, any one of 
which might have made a good first in any showyard, possessing 
as they did plenty of size, and the best of bono, feet, and action."
