350 Report, on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Warwick. 
This was a first-class brown mare, and highly deserving of the 
prize. 
Class IV. — Tico years-old Fillies : 3 competitors. — This was 
a moderate lot, and only one prize awarded — more by courtesy 
than merit. These animals should represent muscular power, 
massive frames, and sterling qualities, for the production of 
a dray horse, and not the active cast of those for agricultural 
purposes. 
Other Horses. 
Class I. — Thoroughbred Stallions for getting Hunters. — This 
class, contrary to former years, brought together a good descrip- 
tion of horse, in fact far better than the Society could have anti- 
cipated, considering the time they have to be on duty, and the 
draughts, &c., they are naturally exposed to. " Hunting Horn," 
the property of Mr. John Wadlow, of Shiffnal, was justly placed 
first, and " Sir Peter Laurie," the property of Mr. W. Barnett, near 
Cheltenham, second. " Hunting Horn " has immense size and 
substance, and must prove a most valuable horse for the purposes 
of producing hunters. " Sir Peter Laurie " is by no means a 
large horse, but very gallant and good. "The Ugly Buck " has 
scarcely substance enough for the Society's purpose, still, for 
years gone bv, he has been known as a good getter. The re- 
maining horses had no distinctive merit to call for a report. 
Class II. — Brood Mares for breeding Hunters : 15 compe- 
titors. — In this class we had a sad mixture of animals for the 
purposes of breeding hunters ; some good, some small, and some 
inferior ; none but the real animal can possibly breed a weight- 
carrying hunter. Mr. J. K. Fowler, of Prebendal Farm, Ayles- 
bury, exhibited a first-class bay mare, well up to weight, with 
beautiful form and action, in fact just the animal to breed a hunter. 
The judges at once selected her for the first prize, but from her 
having lost an eye, while the other appeared doubtful, it was 
decided to pass this mare by. The first award then fell to Mr. 
C. A. Holland, Hartford Hill, Northwich, and the second to 
Mr. VV. Shaw, Far Coton, Northampton. The judges made no 
further selection in this class, neither could they well do so. 
Class III. — Brood Mares for breeding Hackneys : 12 com- 
petitors. — This was a mixed class of mares. With one or two 
exceptions, they Avere by no means what they ought to be for the 
purposes of breeding hackneys; such a mare should combine 
the high qualities of a thorough-bred, upon short-jointed legs, 
with oblique shoulders, light head and neck, muscular points 
throughout ; her every movement being that of an elegant hack. 
This stamp of animal was represented by the prize mare, the 
property of Mr. Coleman, Kingsbury Hall, near Tamworth. The
