Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at TVaricich. 357 
were 24 hunters entered and 10 entire ponies, or collectively 
62 animals. Mr. Manning s (Arlingbury, Northampton) horse 
" Sampson," winner of the first prize for agricultural stallions, was 
a splendid animal ; his uniformity of carcase, power, and size, with 
great activity of action, caused him to be constantly admired by 
the public. The second prize horse in this class, the property 
of Mr. Robert Spencer, of Sbuckburgh Lodge, Daventry, was also 
an excellent animal. There were three others commended in 
this class, viz., Mr. J. Morrell's brown horse " Champion," Mr. 
T. Baldwin's grey horse, and Mr. J. Ball's bay horse. The three 
horses shown in Class II. for young entire horses were each 
noticed by the judges: Mr. W. Bullcr's (Banbury) black horse 
" The Conqueror " was first ; Mr. Thomas Crisp's, IJutley Abbey, 
Suffolk, second ; and Mr. W. VVynn's (Alcester) brown horse, 
commended. The class for the best pair of agiicultural horses 
brought together some of the best animals we have ever had the 
chance to witness at an agricultural gathering. These consisted 
of six pairs. The first prize was awarded to a pair of 3 year-old 
fillies, the property of Mr. J. G. Attwater, Hallingwood Farm, 
Cubberle}-, Cheltenham. These were of the substantial yet active 
class of brown horse, peculiar to the Midland counties ; their 
form, style, and substance confirmed the high estimation in 
which this class of agricultural horse is held by the public. A 
close contest ensued for the second place ; at length the award fell 
upon Mr. J. Beasley's (Chapel Brampton) pair of Suffolk horses, 
bred by himself. These were of full size, active in their move- 
ments, deep in the carcase, and exceedingly good-looking for 
every-day work. The close opponents, a pair of black horses, 
the property of Messrs. Robinson, 15, Charlotte Street, Leaming- 
ton, were excellent specimens of the active class of black horse. 
These were highly commended by the judges : Messrs. Robinson 
would say " deservedly so," and so did the public. Mr. J. 
Dormer, of Ashow, Kenil worth, received a commendation for his 
pair of horses — a bay and a roan. 
Class IV. — Yearling Colts or Fillies: 5 entries. — These were 
of moderate order. The judges awarded the prize to Mr. Lowrie, 
Cadoxton, Cardiff, for his bay filly, without commendation to 
any other. 
Class V. — Huntinq-hoj-ses : 24 entries. — To show the judges' 
estimation of these, I may mention that they commended the 
class generally ; and well they might, — they were a good lot. The 
first prize was awarded to a large and powerful horse by 
" Drayton," dam by " Steamer." This horse when placed before 
the judges displayed good style and action ; he has immense bone 
and flat legs. The second award went to Lord Berners' bay 
mare " Barbara," a known good one. She was bred by his Lord-
