condition and ought to improve. The third and reserve were 
neat colts but under-sized. In Class 40 (stallions foaled in 1906) 
the first prize colt, Lord Rothschild’s Halstead Royal Duke 
25255, was a real good weighty animal, a perfect goer, and had 
the appearance of making a real weight stock horse. This 
animal was also awarded the Male Championship (see Fig. 9). 
The second, General of Hothfield 25229, was a thick, massive, 
blocky, weighty horse, that looked like making a stock horse. 
The third and fourth were very useful, but not of such sub- 
stance as the two first. Altogether it was a good class. The first 
prize winner, King Forest 24347, in Class 41 (stallions foaled 
in 1905) was a very useful horse, who had stood his showyard 
career well, and thoroughly deserved his prize and his 
reserve card for the Championship. Class 42 (yearling fillies) 
was a very good one with a lot of fillies of very even merit. 
The first prize filly, Danesfield Champion Duchess, was brought 
out in lean condition, but should make a grand mare, particularly 
good at the ground. The second, Dunsmore Girl, was a sweet 
filly and a wonderful mover. In Class 43 (fillies foaled in 1906) 
the first, Sir Walpole Greenwell’s Harden Peach 54607, was a 
nice, thick, weighty mare, and the second was very good on the 
ground. The first in Class 44 (fillies foaled in 1905), Wimbledon 
Eldorado, a real weighty good mare, and a typical Shire, was 
also Reserve Champion. Class 45 (mares with foals at foot) 
was, in the opinion of the Judges, one of the best classes of the 
day. The first prize mare, Halstead Duchess 3 rd 42121 
(see Fig. 10), also gained the Female Championship. She was a 
typical Shire, and evidently a good breeder, as she was the dam 
of the champion stallion. The second, Northenden Blossom 
45864, was a weighty, good mare, but not in as large a share as 
the winner. The third was a beautiful mai’e, and in fact the 
whole class was excellent. In Class 46 (colt foals, the produce 
of mares in Class 45), the first was a very good weighty colt, 
brother to the Champion stallion, and looked like making as 
good a horse. The second was a very correct foal but had not 
quite so much weight. The animal awarded the first prize in 
Class 47 (filly foals, the produce of mares in Class 45) was a 
very good filly, and very weighty. The second was a very nice 
foal. The whole section was excellent. 
Clydesdales. — In Class 48 (yearling stallions) the first horse, 
exhibited by A. and W. Montgomery, was an exceptionally 
good one, being Reserve Champion, and, on the whole, the 
winners in all the classes were very representative of the 
Clydesdale breed, many of them being previous prize-winners. 
Mr. R. Brydon’s Bonny Buchlyvie 14032 (see Fig. 11), the first in 
Class 49 (two-year-old stallions), was an easy winner, and a very 
good colt, the second being a heavy, nice colt, but not so good a
