Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884. 625 
exhibited bj Mr. J. H. Turner, of The Dean, Kilmarnock. By 
the sire she is half-sister to " The Viscount," second winner in 
Class 4. The Two-jear-old Fillies, 11 entries, and only one 
absent, made an excellent class ; two from Goodwood, one of 
which had the reserved number ; two from Leslie, one taking the 
third prize ; and one each exhibited by the Earl of Cawdor 
(first), the Duke of Portland (second), the Marquess of London- 
derry (highly commended), and Messrs. Loder (commended), 
Lucas, and Charlton ; the first, good in form and action, and 
very showy, was a general favourite ; but there was also great 
promise of real usefulness in some of the less attractive-looking 
fillies. 
Report on Clydesdale Homes. 
Class 4. No. 60, first. This horse is a true type of the Clydesdale, having 
grand legs, ribs, and quarters ; No. 61, second, is a big good horse, but a little 
out of form ; No. 57, third, good size and colour. 
Class 5. No. 63, first, a good horse, having good feet and pasterns, splendid 
action, and is likely to be a winner at some future Show ; No. 64, second, not 
worthy of notice. 
Class 6. No. 75, first. An extraordinary good horse having good feet and 
legs, splendid action, uncommonly good in chest, back and ribs ; No. 72, 
second, a nice even horse, splendid back, quarters and ribs, and nice goer ; 
No. 77, third, a big horse, a little plain in body, but is likely to develop with 
age. The others in this class were fairly good. 
Class 18. No. 174, first, has grand feet, legs, and action, and is altogether 
a very superior mare; No. 170, second, a pe'-fect model of the Clydesdale, her 
only defect being a slight stifi'ness in her pasterns ; No. 175, third, a good 
brood mare, but a little worn in the legs ; No. 179, fourth, a good strong mare, 
but a stifi" goer. 
Class 26. No. 241, first, a mare very lean in condition, with grand feet and 
pasterns, splendid action, and is certain to be heard of again ; No. 238, second, 
nice sweet mare, but goes a little wide behind ; No. 239, third, strong filly, 
but wants quality. 
Class 27. No. 247, first, has grand legs, feet, and pasterns, splendid goer ; 
No. 249, second, strong filly, grand fore-legs, but a little out of form ; No. 245, 
third, very big, but wants quality. This was a very good class. 
The Clydesdales as a class were very good, considering the distance they 
were from their native home, and are certain to maintain the reputation of the 
breed as the best draught horses in the world.

Suffolk. 
" Far from home " is the plea in excuse of shortcomings in 
the Suffolk Classes. The entries number, altogether, exactly the 
same as last year at York, but the Shrewsbury prize-sheet gave 
one more class for Suffolk, which at York had no Class for 
Three-year-old Fillies. The classes at Reading, in 1882, were 
the same as at Shrewsbury, the entries 10 in excess of this 
year's, the number being, Reading, 36 ; York and Shrews-
