GIO 
Report on Live-Stoch at Carlisle. 
were liberally offered by the Carlisle Local Committee. Mr. 
John Waddell's Avell-matched imposing pair of Clydesdale 
mares were first. The seven-year-old " Countess " has been 
a frequent prize-winner both in England and Scotland. "Mary 
Grey," the four-year-old, Avas first in her class at Glasgow. 
The Earl of EUesmere's strong massive pair were second. The 
other competitors were disqualified on account of side-bones. 
Agricultural Geldings, four years old, not less than 16 hands 
high, had only six competitors for three good prizes. A crack 
cart-horse neighbourhood, like that of Carlisle, should have 
produced a larger and better competition. Amongst the lot it 
was difficult to find three sound serviceable animals. Mr. Henry 
Lawson's " Clyde," bred at Thirsk, has a good head, carriage, 
and barrel, but is not over stout on his limbs. Mr. William Bell, 
Carlisle, was second with " Prince," a deep powerful bay, a good 
mover, with a weak neck, and evidently of Clydesdale extrac- 
tion. Mr. Edward Charlton's big yellow bay, with wall eyes 
and short quarters, was third. 
Agricultural Geldings, three years old (Class 33), made muster 
of three. The first was short in his body, with good quarters ; 
the second, with more style, was curby in his hocks. 
Agricultural Geldings, two years old (Class 34), brought out 
six competitors. Mr. George Armstrong's first-prize " Tom " 
is a well-balanced bay, with good back, loins, and legs. Mr. 
Thomas H. Miller's second-prize has useful limbs and good 
action, but is rather pony-like. Mr. Thomas Robinson's third- 
prize is big, but leggy, and does not get his hind-limbs well 
underneath him. 
Agricultural Colts or Geldings (Class 35) made a tolerable 
show of seven. Mr. Charles Marsters' " Coming Wonder," bred 
at Welshpool, first at the Norfolk and Oxford Shows, was 
readily chosen as the best, and will make a useful horse, 
although his shoulders will always be ujmght, and his fetlocks 
short and stumpy. Mr. John Whitehead's black is leggy, 
plain and rough in his fetlocks, small in his feet, and not 
so serviceable as the Messrs. Crawford's reserved number, and 
Mr. Thomas Miller's bay, which, although in ordinary condi- 
tion, has stout legs and feet. 
The Judges made the subjoined Report : — 
The Judges, in handing in their Eeport to the Society, beg to state that in 
tlie matter of Agricultural Horses (other than Clydesdales or Suffolks) 
Classes 1, 2, 3, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35, were all fairly 
represented. 
In Class 1 — Agricultural Stallions four years old and upwards — No. 3 
is a horse of rare quality, and it required but little consideration to place him 
in the first jiosition, being a good mover, with much bone and substance. 
Class 2. — Three-year-old Stallions — A small entry, but of fair merit.
