The  Liverpool  Show,  1910.  155 
the  stallion  classes,  and  many  of  them  looked  like  making 
valuable  sires. 
Clydesdales. — The  males  were  very  good,  the  Champion 
male  being  of  exceptional  merit,  size,  colour,  and  quality  of 
bone,  feet  and  fetlocks  combined.  Females  were  of  outstanding 
merit,  being  true  to  type.  Brood  mares  particularly  were  a 
splendid  lot,  many  of  them  being  winners  at  Scotch  Shows, 
the  Champion  yearling  filly  being  the  finest  specimen  seen  for 
a long  time. 
Suffolk  Horses. — Considering  the  long  distance  from  home, 
there  was  a creditable  entry  of  Suffolks.  The  two-year-old 
stallions  were  headed  by  Bawdsey  Volunteer,  a colt  of  good 
colour,  very  level,  a good  mover  on  the  best  of  feet  and  legs, 
and  an  easy  winner.  Two  animals  of  quite  a different  type 
went  into  the  second  and  third  places.  The  three-year-old 
stallions  were  all  excellent  specimens  of  the  breed.  The 
winner  is  a grand  colt,  and  should  have  a great  future  before 
him.  The  other  winners  in  this  class  were  both  well-grown 
animals,  with  not  much  to  choose  between  them.  The  two- 
year-old  fillies  were  on  the  whole  a smart  lot,  and  the  com- 
petition fairly  keen.  In  a small  class  of  three-year-old  fillies 
the  winner,  Bawdsey  Wax  Doll,  is  of  exceptional  merit, 
and  one  of  the  best  fillies  seen  out  for  some  time.  The 
mares  (with  foals  at  foot)  were  all  worthy  of  honours,  the 
winner  being  a very  typical  brood  mare  with  a charming  foal 
by  “ Sudbourne  Arabi.”  The  second  prize  mare  is  a very 
heavy  animal  of  the  old-fashioned  type,  but  somewhat  older 
than  the  winner. 
Draught  Geldings. — This  class  was  not  a large  one,  but  the 
animals  were  good. 
Draught  Horses  in  Gears. — In  the  open  class  for  working 
geldings  of  five  years  old  and  upwards,  out  of  fourteen  horses 
entered  eleven  appeared  in  the  ring.  The  Liverpool  Corporation 
were  successful  in  obtaining  first  prize  with  John  Bull,  a 
magnificent  specimen  of  the  cart  horse,  and  made  for  moving 
heavy  weights,  being  a brown  horse  17.1  hands  high,  on  very 
short  legs,  with  deep  barrel,  well  proportioned  quarters,  and  an 
abundance  of  beautiful  silky  feather,  also  the  best  of  feet. 
Mr.  John  Cadwallader’s  Duke,  a fine  upstanding  roan,  also  fit 
for  any  Showyard,  was  placed  second,  and  third  honours  went 
to  the  Liverpool  Corporation  with  a very  fine  bright  bay  horse, 
which  had  a sharp  competition  with  the  last  named  for  second 
place. 
For  the  pair  of  working  geldings  five  years  old  and  upwards, 
the  Liverpool  Corporation  again  succeeded  in  carrying  off  first 
honours  with  John  Bull  and  Inkerman.  Second  prize  went 
to  the  Lancashire  and  Yorkshire  Railway  Company  with  Bobby
