Tho Doncasier Meeting. 
455 
Of two-year-old fillies (Class 47) six came forward. Mr. 
William Montgomery's first-prize filly Crosby Rose " was a very 
superior animal, and was reserved for tho cup." 
In an excellent class of yearling fillies (Class 48) the first 
prize went to the Earl of Galloway's Lillie Langtry, and the 
second prize to Mr. Andi-ew Mitchell's Muriel. These were of 
exceptionally good quality, and the Judges considered that there 
was very little difference between them. 
Suffolk. — Though much nearer the home of the breed, Don- 
caster failed to attract as many entries of Suffolk horses as 
Plymouth, the respective numbers being 56 and 41. With 
four exceptions, all the 41 entries were made from the county of 
Suffolk, which carried off 13 out of the l i prizes awarded in the 
five classes. 
The three-year-old stallions (Class 49) were fairly repre- 
sentative of the Suffolk breed. "As a whole they were rather 
beyond the average size, and perhaps if the same bulk had in 
most cases been closer to the ground the great characteristic of 
the breed would have been a more pronounced feature." Mr. 
James Toller's Rainhow " is a wholesome kind of farmer's cart- 
horse, with no remarkable defect, uniformly built, and of great 
size and power — enough so to recommend him to those who aim 
at breeding London horses." Mr. Horace Wolton's Trumpeter 
" is perhaps rather more of the Suffolk stamp, but his somewhat 
cross front and low heels are against him." Mr. William 
Everitt's Warrior "is a very smart but undersized model of a 
Suffolk horse." 
Of the stallions foaled in 1889 (Class 50) Messrs. I. Pratt 
and Son's Eclipse, " though not particularly handsome, and with 
less of the Punch type -than in the two horses placed next to 
him, affords little to find fault with,— his feet and legs are 
good, and he moves very well." The Duke of Hamilton's 
Wedgeivood 2ncl " is a somewhat overtopped colt, but of vast 
width and muscular development." 
In Class 51, for mare and foal, whilst the Duke of Hamil- 
ton's Queen of Diamonds went at once to the front, the claim to 
second place was warmly contested by Mr. W. Henry Hewitt's 
Juno and Mr. Horace Wolton's Pearl. 
The three-year-old fillies (Class 52) did not give the Judges 
much trouble. The first prize went to the Duke of Hamilton's 
Morella, "a grand, all-round good mare, big, handsome, and 
truly made." Mr. James Toller's Violet, " a filly with almost 
enough silver hairs to be called a roan," was a fair second. 
The two-year-old fillies (Class 53) furnished another winner 
from the Duke of Hamilton's stables in Queen of Trumps, " a
