Report on Live-Stock at Carlisle. 
animals and some with weak joints and full hocks, evidently the 
result of over-feeding, the class, which numbered 19 entries, four 
of which were absentees, was generally commended. The Earl of 
Ellesmere had his two beautifully-got-up Cambridgeshire-bred 
colts placed first and second. " Worsley Wonder," receiving 
first honours, is a handsome colt promising to develop into a 
grand horse. His stable companion, "Prime Minister," has 
not stood training, is gummy in liis legs, full in his hocks, and 
not very good in his pasterns. A more useful horse is the Stud 
Company's " Crowland Hero," after " Gant's Honest Tom," 
bred in Lincolnshire, and second at the Islington Cart Horse 
Show, where he was purchased by the Stud Company. Mr. 
Charles Marsters, of Saddle Bow, Norfolk, had a highly com- 
mended and also the reserve card for a useful stout Welsh-bred 
chestnut, first at the Bath and West of England ; and he stood 
well in with another colt of somewhat similar breeding. The 
executors of the late Edward Pease, Darlington, had a highly 
commended card for a smart kindly growing bay with good legs 
and feet. 
The class for Agricultural Mares and Foals (No. 15) contained 
only Lord Ellesmere's handsome pair. " Damsel," dapple-brown, 
seven years old, from Lincolnshire, with a good foal by " British 
Simon," was first, as she was at Manchester, Worcester, and many 
other Shows. " Flora," brown, seven years old, bred near Bir- 
mingham, the premiere mare of the Liverpool Royal, is scarcely 
so big, has shorter quarters, but very good action. With brood 
mares such as these, and five-and-twenty more which during the 
last six years Capt. Heaton, Lord Ellesmere's indefatigable 
agent, has collected at Worsley, and with such sires as the 
" Samsons," " British Wonder," " Heart of Oak," " Admiral," 
"Pride of the Isles," and " England's Glory" — all, with the 
exception of " Heart of Oak " (which was never exhibited), 
being Royal winners — this grand stud must make its mark and 
improve the size, power, action, and value of English agricul- 
tural horses. Although only exhibited at the Royal and a few 
of the more important county meetings, Lord Ellesmere's horses 
in six years have received 243 prizes. At the present Show 
16 entries were made and 10 prizes won. 
Mares, four years old and upwards (Class 18), paraded fourteen 
superior animals, more than half of them Clydesdales, and 
occupied the JuJges for fully an hour. Eventually first honours 
were awarded to 1^1 r. Thomas H. Miller's four-year-old " Princess 
Dagmar," by " Honest Tom," a big wide mare near the ground. 
The Earl of Ellesmere's six-year-old " Lady Worsley," a grand 
stylish animal a little low in the back, was second, whilst third 
honours fell to Mr. James Pickens' five-year-old " Young
