Report on the Exhihition of Live Stock at Oxford. 541 
mands the admiration of the crowd. "Harwich Emperor," 
No. 38, a grand horse of the orthodox chesnut shade, was 
awarded First Prize; the second place being assigned to No. 36, 
'* Royal Prince," a 4-year old darker chesnut, whose colour 
might be taken exception to by the fastidious admirers or 
breeders of this class. No 41, an exceedingly compact and 
good-looking 3-year old, owned by Colonel Tomline, took Third 
Prize, the Reserve Number going to " Hercules," No. 43. 
Class 6. Suffolk Stallions foaled in the year 1868. — Five 
animals here went before the Judges, good-looking and powerful, 
but not of equal merit. First Prize was given to "Young 
Emperor," a good tyj)e of the Suffolk horse ; No. 50, also a 
good-looking colt, taking second place, and No. 48 third ; while 
the Reserve Number and High Commendation was awarded to 
VVolton's colt. No. 49. 
Class 10. Agricultural Mare in foal, or with foal at foot. — 
This Avas a large and full entry of twenty, of which nine- 
teen went into the ring ; but few of them could be pronounced 
first-class animals, Mr. Statter's active chesnut being decidedly 
the best. 
Class 11. Clydesdale Mares in foal, or with foal at foot. — A 
short and indifferent entry, but the First Prize animal, No. 103, 
" Isabel," owned by Mr. Waugh, was an uncommonly good one, 
and her owner was fortunate in selling her, as it was said, for 
the sum of 280/. 
Class 12. Suffolk Mares in foal, or with foal at foot. — Although 
few in number they were more uniformly good than any other 
class, and excited deserved admiration, all being commended. 
The First Prize went to a magnificent chesnut, " Pride," owned 
by the executors of the late Mr. Capon ; the Second Prize and 
High Commendation were awarded to two grand animals owned 
by Lieutenant-Colonel Fuller Maitland Wilson. 
Class 16. Agricultural Filly, 3 years, not Clydesdale or 
Suffolk. 
Class 17. Clydesdale Filly, 3 years. 
Class 18. Suffolk Filly, 3 years. 
Class 19. Agricultural Filly, 2 years, not Clydesdale or 
Suffolk. 
Class 20. Clydesdale Filly, 2 years. 
Class 21. Suffolk filly, 2 years. 
All these were more or less weak in numbers, and without 
any remarkable points in quality to comment upon. In class 20 
the three animals shown, though owned in high quarters, were 
so wanting in merit that the Judges withheld the prizes. In 
concluding this report on the agricultural classes, it will be 
noticed that the Judges express their approval of the practice
