promising foal, being first, and Mr. Horace Wolton's " Empress 
of Paris" second. Suffolk Fillies three years old (Class 21) 
contained several of the Kilburn prize-winners. Mr. Samuel 
Toller, of Lethcringham Lodge, had the first and second prizes, 
and Mr. R. E. Lofft was highly commended, and had the reserve 
ticket. Mr. Samuel Toller contributed the three two-year-old 
fillies which made up Class 24. They were shown in very high 
condition, but appeared top-heavy, with weak sickle hams, while 
the second-prize filly had also calf-knees. 
The Judges reported as follows : — 
In Classes 7, 8, 9, 17, 21 and 24 we had a very good representation of 
the Suffolks, 30 entries in all, with few absentees. 
In the class of Stallions over four years old, we were so far impressed with 
the merits of three of the competinc; animals that we considered it due to the 
exhibitors that a third prize slioukl be awarded, although, according to our 
instructions, this was not to be forthcoming unless more than tour animals 
competed ; but on representing our views to the Steward he most willingly 
agreed to our proposition, and we were consequently enabled to award a 
third prize in this deserving class. The first prize went to Mr. Garrett's 
" Cupbearer 3rd," a well-known horse in the prize-ring; the second prize to 
Mr. Wolton's " Koyalty," a winner of many prizes at previous Eoyal Shows ; 
and the third to another of Mr. Garrett's horses, " Crown Prince," of the 
"Cupbearer" strain, a hardy wear-and-tear animal. In the class of Younger 
Stallions (three years old) we had little difficulty in placing Mr. Wolton's 
"Chieftain" tirst (a grand animal), and Mr. Garrett's "Zulu " second, both of 
the " Cupbearer "strain. The Tico-year-old Class of Suffolk Stallions biought 
a very fair lot of colts before us. The first prize went to Mr. Wolton's 
" Oriental," and the second to Mr. Wilson's " Vanguard," and Mr. Loflt's 
" Jove " obtained the reserve number. 
The classes of Suffolk Mares and Fillies, 17, 21, and 24, for uniformity of 
character and colour, were a marked contrast to the corresponding classes 
of the Agricultural breed, and consequently occupied ranch less time. The 
Duke of Hamilton and the Messrs. Toller were well to the fore with some 
very tine animals that looked quite equal to perpetuating the best qualities 
of the breed, and thus doing good service to their owners and the country.

Thokoughbred Stallions and Hunteks. 
Thoroughbred stallions suitable for getting hunters, as is 
too frequently the case at such exhibitions, are disappointing. 
Neither the eclat of Royal honours, nor the prizes, even when 
they were larger than now, suffice to bring out the stout, shapely, 
sound sires which can be confidently used for getting hunters or 
coach-horses. Risks of cold or accident after a week's camping- 
out must always restrict this competition. To the breeding of 
many of the exhibits no exception can be taken ; in many 
pedigrees appear the names of horses that have had a high 
reputation on the Turf. To no other source, excepting the
