632 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884. 
York, is the only noteworthy animal in the Pony Mare and Foal 
Class of four entries, all shown. 
Mr. John Robinson, of Hull, a successful exhibitor in the 
same class last year, had the two best animals, both mares, a 
black and a chestnut, in a middling class for Hackney Mares 
and Geldings, not exceeding 15—2 hands and up to 15 stone ; and 
in a very much better class of lighter-weight hacknejs, seventeen 
entries, twelve in the ring, besides his entries winning the 
third prize and the reserve with a high commendation, his black 
" Lady Shrewsbury," a half-sister to his black " Lady Cremorne," 
first winner in the heavy-weight class, had the first place. 
They are both very superior animals of true form, with strikingly 
attractive looks, and are admirable movers. Mr. Frisby's bay 
gelding, " Cardiff," a high-class specimen of another type, had 
the second prize, and his noted skewbald mare, " Movement," 
only had a high commendation. 
There was much merit in the strong Class of Mares or Geld- 
ings of 13-2 to 14-2 hands. Class 46, containing sixteen entries, 
only two absent, and one disqualified as over height ; and in 
a class of ten entries of Ponies (Mares or Geldings) under 
13 hands, although three were absent, the quality of the seven 
competing was very satisfactory. 
Report of the Judges of Hackneys and Roadsters. 
Class 15. — The first-ijrize liorse, " Fashion," well known hi the prize-ring, 
is an admirable mover, with plenty of quality. The rest were a very mode- 
rate lot. 
Class 1G. — First prize, a good mover, with plenty of substance, and won- 
derful thighs; second prize, a nice mover, but a little strong in his neck; 
third prize, a nice pony, full of quality. The two first are by the noted ponj', 
" Sir George," and the third by " Little Wonder." All the rest were far 
behind them. 
Class 22. — The first prize was a very grand mare, and a model of what a 
roadster mare should be ; second prize, a beautiful mare, full of quality, 
with her head and neck well set on ; third prize, a grand old mare, full of 
quality ; but her day has gone by for the Show-ring. A very good class. 
Class 23. — First prize, a real nice mare, with a very grand foal. The rest 
were very moderate. 
Class 44. — First prize, a valuable animal, with grand quality and action ; 
second prize, belonging to the same owner, has rather less bone. The rest arc 
very moderate animals. 
Class 45. — First prize, a very grand mover, with wonderful action and 
quality, and a jnire type of roadster ; second prize, a regular park hack, which 
can di^all its paces well, but of an entirely different stamp of animal to the first 
prize. It is difficult for the Judges to keep to any particular type when 
Hackneys and lloadsters are shown together; and we think the Judges might 
take this opportunity of suggesting to the Council the desirability of having 
one separate class for Park Ilaclvs any height, and wording the other classes 
for " lloadsters ;" then two distinct classes of animals do not get mixed up 
together in one clas?. Third prize is a pure roadster again ; but more suitable 
for harness than saddle. This was the best class wc had liefore us.
