Report on Live-Stock at Carlisle. 
The Three-year-old Stallions were a fair class, the first- and second-prize 
horses being very good animals. 
The Tu-o-year-old Colts were a large and good class, and the same remarks- 
apjily to the first- and second-prize horses in this class as in the preceding 
one. 
The Yearlhuj Colts were a large class, and the prize animals are fair speci- 
mens of the breed. One of the best in the class was nnlortunately lame. 
Brood Mares were not numerously represented. The first-prize mare being 
only three years old appeared small, but she promises to grow into a very 
handsome mare. She moves well, and has good feet, pasterns, and bone. 
The second-prize mare is a big roomy animal, possessing true Clydesdale 
character, but is a little deficient about her fore-feet. 
The Three-year-old Mares were a fair good class as a whole, the first-prize 
mare being particularly good ; tlie second- and third-prize mares are also very 
good. 
The Two-year-old Fillies were an exceedingly good class, the first-prize mare 
being, perhaps, as true a specimen of the Clydesdale breed as was in the Show- 
yard. 
The Yearling Fillies were also a very good class ; the first, second, and 
commended fillies are very superior.

SUFFOLKS. 
Throughout the Eastern counties Suffolks maintain their 
prestige, are prized as useful plough-horses, and attest, in 
unilormity of appearance and colour, the pains bestowed in 
their breeding. Recording their descent, as is now done in a 
special Studbook, will further ensure cultivation of the best 
strains and permanence of tjpe. Twenty-nine animals were 
entered in six classes. 
Four-year-old Stallions (Class 7) were headed by Mr. Richard 
Garrett's " Cupbearer 3rd," a wonderful topped horse, carrying 
himself admirably, and winner not only at many local com- 
petitions, but also at three previous Royal Shows. Mr. Horace 
Wolton's " Royalty," long, showy, but wanting in second thighs, 
and small in his hocks, was second. Mr. Richard Garrett's 
handsome dark chestnut " Crown Prince " was third. Three- 
year-old Stallions (Class 8) testified to the condition in which 
Suffolk men can bring horses into the ring. Mr. Samuel 
Wolton's "Chieftain " is a fine growing colt, rather upright in 
his shoulders. Mr. Richard Garrett's more compact " Zulu " 
made a good second. Two-year-old Stallions (Class 11) were 
marvels of early development and good feeding. Mr. Horace 
Wolton and Mr. William Wilson took the honours. Sufli'olk 
Mares and Foals (Class 17) were deservedly commended. 
The Duke of Hamilton's " Bright Diamond," the prize mare 
of last year, only reached the third phice ; her stable com- 
panion, "Belle of the Ball," a more level, stylish mare, with a
