622 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884.' 
reserve, No. 227, to -which we recommended a third prize should be given. It 
seems somewhat strange that in the Classes for Sheep and Pigs, if there are six 
exhibitors in any class a third prize can be claimed, yet in the Classes for 
Horses no third prize can be awarded. We highly commended Nos. 228, 222, 
226, and 235. 
Class 30. Agricultural FiUy foaled in 1881. — First, Ko. 260. 
Class 31. Agricultural Filly foaled in 1882.— First, Xo. 262. 
Class 32 was exceeding good. We selected No. 264 for first prize, a 
lengthy filly with capital fore-legs, which she can move with activity ; 
second, No. 267, a black of great promise. If she goes on well, a grand future 
is in store for her. Reserve, No. 268 ; highly commended. No. 265. 
The Pairs of Mares or Geldings in Class 33, and Agricultural Geldings in 
Classes 34, 35, and 36, require no comment in our Report.

Clydesdales. 
The six classes of Clydesdales made a good show of 54 entries, 
13 of these representing two animals each (mare and foal), so 
that the total number of animals entered was 67 ; but the absence 
of 7 single animals, and 2 mares with their foals, reduced the 
number to 45 entries, or 56 animals actually exhibited. The 
number of entries was within two of the number at York, where 
the show of Clydesdales was by far the largest that the Society 
has seen since the ^Meeting was held at the Border city of 
Carlisle in 1880. On that occasion the total number of entries 
in the usual classes was exactly the same as last year at York ; 
but at Carlisle, on account of nearness to the home of the breed, 
an extra class for One-year-old Fillies was added to the five 
classes, and increased the number by 13 entries. Putting aside 
the number thus brought together, under exceptional advantages, 
the Shrewsbury figures compare very well with those of recent 
years ; and in strength of merit the display was very creditable 
to the breed. Some of the exhibitors have connections with 
both England and Scotland. In the following classification of 
exhibitors, where the Scotch address is given in the Catalogue, 
the entry is placed to the credit of Scotland ; where the English 
address is given, England has the credit, irrespective of the 
birthplace of the animal exhibited. The 54 entries are in the 
proportion of 43 English to 11 Scotch; three first, two second, 
and two third prizes go to Scotland ; but one-third of the 
absentees are Scotch. These, in fact, were all the animals of 
one owner, Mr. A. Montgomery, of Kirkcudbright, and included 
his York first prize and Champion stallion, " Auld Reekie." 
The Duke of Portland's " Cairnbrogie Keir," however, a grand 
horse on good logs, which he used well in the ring, made a 
capital first winner ; and the iSIarquess of Londonderry's horse,
