The Newcastle Show , 1908. 
mover. The third was full of quality, but a trifle undersized. 
The prize-winner in this class was afterwards Champion of the 
male section. Class 50 (three-year-old stallions) was only a 
fair class, • some of the animals shown being out of form. 
Class 51 (yearling fillies) was very good, containing three or 
four very nice fillies, the winner, Mr. J. E. Kerr’s Ferelith , 
standing out by herself. Class 52 (two-year-old fillies) was 
another good one, the first three animals being very good, and 
the winner, Mr. Kerr’s Nerissa, gaining the Championship. 
She was a perfect mover. Class 53 (three-year-old fillies) 
was not so good as some of the other classes, and the winner, 
Mr. Kerr’s Marilla, was a long way ahead of the others. 
Class 54 (mares with foals at foot) was probably the best class 
in the section. Here, again, Mr. S. Mitchell’s Royal Ruby , 
the winner, stood out by herself, having beautiful legs and 
fine hair. The second Minniewawa, also exhibited by Mr. 
Mitchell, was a nice mare, and the third also, but the latter was 
beginning to show signs of age. 
Suffolks. — These classes were fairly well filled, although 
more arrived at the Show than competed in the ring. Sir 
Cuthbert Quilter’s Bawdscy Marshall Ney 3385, the winner in 
Class 56 (two-year-old stallions) was a typical Suffolk, standing 
on good feet and legs, and is likely to grow into a good horse. 
Mr. Alfred J. Smith’s Rendlesham Major Gray 3278 (see 
Fig. 13), the winner in Class 57 (three-year-old stallions) took 
the Championship for Suffolk stallions and is a worthy son of 
a Champion Suffolk sire. The second, Mr. Kenneth M. Clark’s 
Sudbourne Arab 3309 was also Reserve for the Championship. 
Class 58 (two-year-old fillies) contained four well-grown 
youngsters, the winner, Sir Cuthbert Quilter’s Sutton Jewell 
5789, was a sweet filly, likely to be heard of again. The 
animals shown in Class 59 (three-year-old fillies) were all 
good types of Suffolk mares. Class 60 (mares with foals at 
foot) was a very good one of both mares and foals, the first 
three mares being exceptional animals. One unfortunately 
met with a slight accident before appearing in the ring, but 
for which she would have taken a much higher position. 
Draught Horses. — A very useful class of draught horses, 
some of which were very valuable. Competition was very 
keen, and in the end the referee had to be called in. 
Draught Horses in Gears. — These classes (87-90) were particu- 
larly interesting, as they afforded an opportunity of comparing 
in the respective classes heavy horses of the Shire, Clydesdale, 
and Suffolk breeds. In Class 87, for single horses, a Clydesdale 
won, Shires were second and third, and a Suffolk fourth. 
The class as a whole was highly creditable, and made a fine 
display of the best horses for town work. For pairs of horses
