licport on Live-Sloch at Carlisle. 
Riddell's " Darnley," bay, eight years old, bred by Sir W. 
Stirling-Maxwell, Bart., successful in many showyards, but 
placed second last year at Kilburn to Mr. Buchanan's " Druid." 
After a hard season's serving he showed fully as well as he did 
twelve months ago ; has the sound wearing pasterns and feet 
which Clydesdale men so strongly insist on, and is proving 
himself a superior sire. Two of his daughters and one of his 
sons were at the head of their respective classes. The Judges 
report him to be " an exceedingly good animal. He moves well, 
has excellent feet, pasterns, and bone, and is altogether a horse 
of first-class Clydesdale character." The second place was taken 
by Mr. William Moffat's " Prince Henry," the Carlisle district 
horse of this season, smart, but wanting middle and back ribs, 
and short in his quarters, defects which, being only four years- 
old, he may somewhat outgrow. Third honours were gained 
by Mr. Moffat's " Young Baldie," which is better ribbed up, but 
has not particularly good quarters, pasterns, or feet. He has 
travelled this year in the Hexham district. The other compe- 
titors in this class lack the quality which is almost as necessary 
in a high-priced cart-horse as in a nag. 
Clydesdale Stallions three years old (Class 5) were not 
largely or remarkably represented. Clydesdales at this age are 
apt to look leggy, and have scarcely begun to furnish. Mr. 
Andrew Montgomery was first with " Prince Imperial," second 
at Kilburn, and first at the Dumfries Union Show, a level 
smart colt, with good feather, but rather flat feet. Messrs. 
Crawford's second-prize " Silver " is a useful colt, rather light 
in bone. 
In the next class (No. 6), for two-year-olds, Mr. Andrew 
Montgomery was again in front this time with " The Macgregor,"^ 
after " Darnley," with capital legs and feet, a little plain about 
his head, but first at Ayr and Glasgow, where he won the cup ^ 
a handsome colt, of great quality, style, and promise. The 
promising well-bred entries of Messrs. Andrew MacDowall, 
David Riddell, and William Miller were ranged in the order 
mentioned. 
Clydesdale Colts or Geldings one year old (Class 36) made 
a procession of 14 useful youngsters. Selection was first made 
of Mr. John Waddell's big strong yearling, with capital knees 
and hocks, but a trifle thin in his neck, and upright in his 
shoulders and hocks. Next in merit came Mr. James MacQueen's 
" Robin Hood," with particularly good head, legs, and feet. 
Mr. John M. Martin's stylish bay was third. Mr. David Riddell's 
first-prize yearling at Glasgow and Dumbarton had been ailing, 
and had lost its hair, but received a commendation. The Hon. 
G. Waldegrave-Leslie and Mr. Andrew Montgomery also had
