departments  of  the  Show,  based  for  the  most  part  upon  the 
official  Rej)orts  of  the  Judges.  Illustrations  are  given  of  .some

tho.se  not  illustrated  in  previous  Re])orts  in  the  Journal.  Fig.  3

Horses. 
The  English  heaA’y  breeds  were,  as  in  1003,-  well  represented, 
the  Shires  with  eighty-seven  entries  and  the  Suft’olks  with 
forty-four.  The  lighter  breeds  were  disappointingly  few,  so 
that  the  total  number  of  horses  only  reached  437,  as  against 
475  last  year  and  521  at  Carlisle.  The  Polo  Ponies  with 
sixty-three  entries  were  the  most  numerou.sly  represented 
light  breed. 
Shires. — The  entries  numbered  eighty-seven  in  seven  classes. 
With  the  exception  of  the  first  prize  animals,  the  stallions 
were  not  so  good,  reports  the  Judge,  as  one  would  expect  at 
such  an  important  Show.  The  mares  and  fillies  w'ere  better, 
especially  the  brood  mares  with  foals  at  foot  (Class  4).  The 
first  prize  three-year-old  filly  (Class  5)  was  a good  one,  and  the 
first  prize  two-year-old  filly  (Class  6)  did  great  credit  to  her 
owner,  a tenant  farmer.  ^Vith  few  exceptions  the  animals  in 
the  other  classes  were  of  moderate  quality.
