Cleveland  Bays  or  Coach  Horses. — In  the  two  classes  there 
were  altogether  only  nine  exhibits — six  in  Class  50  (stallions 
foaled  in  1907  or  1908),  only  one  of  which  was  a Cleveland 
Bay,  and  three  in  Class  51,  all  of  which  were  Cleveland  mares. 
Though  few  in  numbers,  both  classes  were  good  in  regard  to 
the  quality  of  the  exhibits.  Class  50  was  representative  of  the 
breed  of  Yorkshire  Coach  Horses,  and  those  noticed  in  the 
awards  combined  bone  and  quality,  coaching  outlines,  and 
action  in  just  the  degree  that  breeders  of  Coach  Horses  should 
keep  in  view  ; colour  also  was  good,  most  of  the  exhibits 
being  clear  bright  bay  with  black  points.  The  only  Cleveland 
exhibited  was  placed  second,  and  reached  the  standard  of 
Coach  Horse  action  and  quality.  In  Class  51  (brood  mares 
and  foals),  the  exhibits  were  all  good.  The  mares  placed  first 
and  second  were  similar  in  t\  pe  and  colour.  Both  displayed 
fine  quality  and  action  with  the  substance  of  the  Cleveland 
breed.  The  mare  placed  third  was  a very  useful  specimen  of 
perhaps  an  older-fashioned  type  of  Cleveland. 
Hackneys. — This  section  was  most  interesting  to  judge,  as 
the  classes  on  the  whole  were  well  filled  and  the  animals 
exhibited  were  some  of  the  best  in  the  country.  Owing  to  the 
slippery  state  of  the  ground  some  of  the  young  Hackneys  did 
not  make  such  a good  show  as  they  otherwise  would  have  done. 
The  Champion  mare  was  a beautiful  animal,  and  the  three- 
year-old  stallion.  Sir  Walter  Gilbey’s  Antonins , never  looked 
better  or  made  a better  show  than  he  did  on  this  occasion. 
The  horses  were  a very  creditable  lot,  especially  the  stallions. 
Harness  Horses. — Many  of  the  best-known  exhibitors  were 
represented  in  this  section.  Owing  to  the  rain-sodden  ground 
the  ring  was  very  heavy  going,  and  there  was  not  the  display 
of  action  there  might  have  been  had  the  conditions  been 
otherwise.  However,  the  entries  were  numerous,  and  it  was 
refreshing  to  the  Judges  to  see  several  new  exhibitors,  or, 
rather,  several  novice  horses  shown.  The  team  and  novice 
classes  were  good,  and  the  double  harness  horses  also  made  a 
very  fine  display. 
Milk  Turnouts. — For  the  prizes  offered  in  these  classes  there 
was  a splendid  entry,  no  fewer  than  twenty-five  competing. 
They  were  all  well  turned  out,  and  gave  great  credit  to  the 
exhibitors.  The  Judges  found  some  difficulty  in  deciding 
which  was  the  best.  Special  notice  was  taken  of  the  manners 
of  the  horses,  they  being  made  to  stand  unattended,  and  also 
to  back.  This  was  considered  very  essential  for  an  animal 
employed  at  this  work,  as  often  in  their  daily  rounds  they 
would  be  expected  to  do  so.  Some  of  the  horses  shown  would
