'The Chester Meeting. 
Carmarthen. Of the 21 prize3 awarded England secured 12, 
of which o went to Chester, 4 to Cumberland, and 3 to Kent. 
The remaining 9 prizes were well distributed amongst the six 
Scottish counties represented, for Dumfries obtained 3, Berwick 
2, Inverness 1, Kirkcudbright 1, Midlothian 1, and Wigton 1. 
Class 35, Clydesdale stallion, foaled in 1890, with 6 
entries, was “ a fairly good class,” and the premier award went 
to “ a compact, active horse, full of Clydesdale character.” The 
third prize horse “ might have stood higher, but for lightness in 
thigh and hock.” 
Class 36, Clydesdale stallion, foaled in 1891, had but 3 
entries, at the head of which was placed “ a very handsome 
colt of great size and weight of bone, with bi'oad knees and 
hocks and fine action ; might be deeper in back rib.” 
Class 37, Clydesdale stallion, foaled in 1892, with 6 entries, 
was, both in numbers and quality, a marked improvement 
on the previous class. The first prize went to “a colt 
of fine size, with good bone, fine pasterns, and solid useful 
feet ; also a good mover.” The second “ was only surpassed 
by the winner in fore-foot and size.” 
Class 38, Clydesdale mare and foal with 8 entries, was 
“ a good class of brood mares, in which there was little to 
choose between the first four.” 
Class 39, Clydesdale filly, foaled in 1890, “contained some 
notable specimens,” amongst its 9 entries. The premier 
award went to “ a grand filly, with perfect feet and legs, and 
grand action. When age brings greater depth of rib, she will 
be even more difficult to approach, in competition, than 
now.” 
Class 40, Clydesdale filly, foaled in 1891, had 8 entries, 
forming “ a very excellent class,” the first prize filly being “ of 
fine quality and good size, with grand pasterns.” 
Class 41, Clydesdale filly, foaled in 1892, with 11 entries, 
“ was probably the best class in the section.” “ There was 
hardly one moderate animal in the lot, and the first three or 
four were fillies of conspicuous merit.” 
The Judges report : — 
The show of Clydesdales at Chester, as a whole, was a very creditable 
one, and compares favourably with any of those of the Society since 
Windsor (1880). There was an excellent representation of many of the 
best specimens of the breed. 
SufFolks. — There were 32 entries, this number being prac- 
tically identical with that at Warwick last year. Excepting 
one entry each from Cambridge and Essex, the entries were all
