Darling," which is said to have won forty-three first prizes, and 
barring lightness through her heart has all the points of a 
perfect cart-mare. Many Judges would have placed her at the 
head of the class. Next in order of merit stood Mr. Thomas 
H. Miller's " Black Topsy," first last year at Kilburn, a 
beautiful level mare but rather wanting in bone. The class 
generally was highly commended, but particularly noteworthy 
were Mr. James Cunningham's stylish four-year-old "Evelyn," 
and Mr. Thomas Atkinson's powerful five-year-old " Miss 
Linton." 
Agricultural Fillies, three years old (Class 19), turned out 
ten tolerable animals over which the Judges deliberated long, 
placing Mr. Edward Holmes's big massive chestnut first, and 
Mr. Robert Horsley's powerful substantial chestnut-roan second 
— both immense three-year-olds, shown in very high condition, 
but wanting alike the style and action of Lord Ellesmere's 
" Princess Victoria," which was third, the gaiety of her stable 
companion, " Hebe," and the wearing legs and usefulness of 
Mr. John Fox's Clydesdale-looking " Flower," which had the 
reserve card. 
Agricultural Fillies, two years old (Class 22), notwithstanding 
the proviso " not qualified to compete as Clydesdale or Suffolk," 
made a polyglot collection of thirteen animals, comprising 
English-bred, Clydesdale, and Welsh, and amongst them several 
big promising fillies disfigured by short stumpy fetlocks, and 
flat bad feet. The Rev. Vincent O. Holcroft's chestnut, 
" Empress," with good body, but rather narrow and leggy, was 
first. Another chestnut styled " Beauty," from Blaydon-on- 
Tyne, made an indifferent second. The Earl of Ellesmere's 
useful " Thistle " was third. The Duke of Westminster's well- 
grown " Lively " wanted bone and had weak shelly feet. Mr. 
George Street's pair of growing roans had the bloom rubbed 
off them by a tedious journey from Bedfordshire. 
Agricultural Fillies, one year old (Class 25), apparently with- 
out provision as to breed, were another weak lot. Mr. George 
Shadwick's big somewhat leggy " Darling " was first. " Meta," 
the property of Mr. Thomas H. Miller, has size and good 
joints, which placed her second ; whilst her black stable com- 
panion, " Satanella," more compact and short in the hind- 
quarters, was third. Mr. L. R. Duckworth's useful growing 
filly, with stout black legs, but rather small feet, remained 
unnoticed. 
Pairs of Agricultural Horses, Mares or Geldings, four years 
old and upwards, not less than 16 hands high, which at Liver- 
pool made a grand display, here, as at Kilburn, produced but 
three entries. The prizes in this and the five subsequent classes
