We conclude with the name of a distinguished son of a father who was illustrious in the 
science of Chemistry ; the name of one who in Germany attained with high credit the degree of 
Doctor of Philosophy, and who has since presented to the Government an official report on agri- 
culture in India. As consulting Chemist to the Society for the last nine years, he has proved 
himself a worthy successor of his father : a fact which, though gratifying to all, need he sur- 
prising to none. Members of the Society know from their owu experience the truth of the lines 
of Horace : 
“ ’Xis of the brave and good alone 
That good and brave men are the seed ; 
The virtues, wliioh their sires have shewn, 
Are found in steer and steed.” 
I present to you Dr. Jong Augustus Voelcker.

In proceeding to notice the several sections of the Exhibition 
it should be mentioned that the views of the Judges are embodied 
in the statements made, whilst frequent quotations are given 
from the Judges’ reports. The names of the Stewards and of the 
Judges, together with the complete List of Awards, will be found 
in the Appendix, pp. xevi. et seq. This list affords such full details 
as to the ownership, breeding, and pedigree of the prize-winning 
animals that it is unnecessary to repeat these in the text. 
Light Horses. 
Thoroughbred Stallions. — The winners of the three Queen’s 
Premiums of 150Z., offered by the Eoyal Commission on Horse 
Breeding, and the Gold Medals offered by the Cambridge Local 
Committee at the Spring Show, held March G to 8, 1894, were 
exhibited — not for competition — in a special shed. They were 
Serp a Pinto, belonging to His Royal Highness the Prince of 
Wales; Mount Gifford, belonging to Mr. Donald Fraser; and 
Persistive , belonging to the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon. 
Hunters. — Fifty-six entries were distributed amongst 7 
classes, none of which call for any special notice, save that the 
yearling fillies (Class 7) “ were unworthy of the show.” 
Cleveland Bays and Coach Horses. — An entry of 7 stallions, 
all from Yorkshire, and of G mares from various counties, made 
up this section. Mr. Lett’s first prize stallion was considered 
far ahead of any other animal in Class 8. The first prize mare 
was regarded by the Judges as the finest Cleveland mare ever 
under their notice. 
Hackneys. — The 13 classes allotted to this section con- 
tained 1G0 entries. Norfolk headed the list with 34 entries,
