The Warwick Meeting. 
female Champion of the^Clydesdale classes in Mr. L. Pilkington’s 
Queen of the Roses, which the Judges describe as an “ extremely 
handsome mare, full of character, and true to type, good 
colour, symmetry, and activity ; careful mating in this case has 
improved upon the original.” The second prize was awarded to 
Mr. W. Graham’s Lothian Lass, “ a very fair mare and of good 
colour ; ” and the third prize to Lords A. and L. Cecil’s Queen 
Bess, “ a very compact mare, a little deficient in size,” which 
was highly commended at Doncaster. 
Of the 15 prizes awarded in the five classes of Clydes- 
dales, five went to Kent, three to Cumberland, and two to 
Northamptonshire, whilst the counties of Berks, Carmarthen, 
Dumfries, Durham, and Kirkcudbright took one each. In 
addition, Berks secured the male championship, and Dumfries 
the female championship. 
Suffolks. — The experience of the last three years serves to 
bring out the curious fact that the nearer the Society’s Meeting 
is held to the home of the breed, the less numerously is the 
Suffolk breed of horses represented. Thus, whilst at Plymouth 
in 1890 there were 66 entries, there were at Doncaster in 1891 
only 41, and this year at Warwick the number fell to 31. With 
three exceptions the entries at Warwick were all made from the 
county which gives the breed its name, and all the prizes went 
to Suffolk. Though the number was smaller, however, the 
quality showed no falling off, and the Judges report the display 
as “ excellent.” 
Class 35, for Suffolk stallions foaled in 1889, was occupied 
by seven very meritorious horses, especially Messrs. I. Pratt and 
Son’s Eclipse, which, in taking the first prize, repeated his 
victory of last year. Mr. Alfred J. Smith was second with 
Democrat, and the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon was third 
with We^ewood 2nd, which stood a place higher at Doncaster. 
Class 36, for Suffolk stallions foaled in 1890, was headed 
by Messrs. I. Pratt and Son’s Earl, “ a grand horse which, in 
powers and weight, will hold his own with the larger breeds of 
horses.” Mr. Robert Edgar’s Hardware was second, and 
Mr. Horace Wolton’s Chieftain's Champion was third. 
Class 37, for Suffolk mares and foal, put forward only two 
competitors, of which Mr. Edgar’s Prattle was selected for 
the first prize. 
Class 38, for Suffolk fillies foaled in 1889, made but three in 
number, which were all placed, being “ perfect representatives of 
the type of the breed, and especially deserving of notice.” The 
Duke of Hamilton and Brandon’s Queen of Trumps was first, as 
was the case at Doncaster, Messrs. W. E. S. and P. H. Wilson’s
