My colleagues on the Jury, Messrs. Weatherby, Barthropp, 
and Robert Smith, have favoured me with their opinions of the 
merits of the classes they were respectively called upon to judge. 
Mr. Weatherby, who was a member of the J ury for the Thorough- 
bred Stock, states that, " The classes of thorough-bred horses 
were so very indifferent that it was often hard to say which was 
the best amongst so many bad ones. In my opinion no prize at

view. All good judges were very much disappointed with our 
class, which was almost the worst in the Show. In the Arab 
Class the first prize was given to an extraordinary animal of the 
highest possible type of the race, a sight in himself worth all 
the trouble of the journey to Hamburg. The rest were of quite 
another order. The arrangements made lor the accommodation 
of the animals were so good that, with my experience of English 
Shows, I was quite taken by surprise. It is very difficult to get 
together a good class of thorough-bred stallions in England, and 
abroad, the difficulty is still greater. If foreign Governments, 
which have a great many good stallions, could for the future be 
induced to send some to the Show-yard, a display equal, if not 
superior to our own, might lend its attraction to the Exhibition ; 
for at no time has the thoroughbred horse been more in request 
on the Continent than at present." 
Mr. Barthropp undertook the classes of Agricultural and 
Working Horses. " The show of horses," he says, " on the 
whole was most excellent. Although in the department with 
which I was concerned some of the classes were not well filled, 
many good animals were exhibited, and some that would have
