Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at WaricicJt. 34*,) 
well up to the requirements of an agricultural horse. The second 
prize went to a Suffolk horse, the property of Mr. AVrinch, 
Ipswich. This was a useful horse, but scarcely up to the real 
standard of an agricultural horse. 
Class III. — Blares and Foals : 20 competitors. — Tliis was a 
pretty good class, and contained some bold specimens of a cart- 
horse. Both prizes were carried off by Suffolks, and a third 
Suffolk was commended. The Suffolk mares represented a greater 
uniformity of character and general outline than the bay and 
black breeds. The latter appeared overgrown for the class, in 
fact more suitable for the production of dray horses than those 
for agricultural purposes. The first prize was awarded to Mr. 
C. Frost, Ipswich, the second to Mr. G. D. Badham, Sudbury. 
Mr. Barthropp's mare was commended. 
Class IV. — Two years-old Fillies: 13 entries. — Here again 
the first prize was awarded to a Suffolk filly, the property of Mr. 
Wrinch, while the second prize was carried off by a Clydesdale, 
the property of H.R.H. the Prince Consort. These were two 
beautiful animals, and well worthy of their distinction. The re-^ 
maining fillies called for no commendation from the judges. 
Dray Horses. 
Class I. — Aged Stallions: 18 competitors. — This was an 
excellent class of substantial horses ; the first prize horse, " Eng- 
land's Glory," Avas bred in Lincolnshire, and is now the property 
of Mr. B. Taylor, of Peterborough. He had long been noticed, 
especially in his own district, as a first-rate stamp of cart-horse ; 
he is a good bay, with muscular limbs, robust carcase, and 
fashionable action. The second prize was awarded to a near 
neighbour of Mr. Taylor's, Mr. Hemmant, of Thorney, Peter-, 
borough (the owner of the prize horse for agricultural purposes). 
This again was a substantial bay horse of considerable notoriety 
and standing. There were a few more good-looking animals, 
but the judges did not recognize them as calling for especial 
commendation. 
Class II. — Two years-old entire Colts : G entries. — Mr. Hib- 
bard, of Bishopstone, Faringdon, received the first prize for a 
very promising brown horse, and the second was awarded to JMr. 
BuUer, Banbury, for a roan colt bred by Mr. Root, of Edgcott 
Lodge, Banbury. Mr. J. Manning's (of Orlingbury, Northampton- 
shire) grey horse was commended. Beyond this the animals were 
of a moderate order. 
Class III. — Mares and Foals: 6 entries. — These were below 
the standard of excellence required at such a gathering, and only 
one prize was awarded, viz., to Mr. W. Lowrie, Cadoxton, Cardiff.
