(Class 11), were “rather disappointing” in comparison with 
Class 10. The two-year-old stallions (Class 12) formed not only

animal won her position mainly by her fine all-round action. 
The mares above 14 hands (Class 15) were not so good a class, 
but in it the winner was “ far ahead of the others.” The colt 
foals (Class 19) were “rather disappointing,” whilst the filly 
foals (Class 20) were “just the reverse,” and contained several 
animals of high merit, especially the winners of the first and 
second prizes. 
Ponies. — This section comprised 15 entries in 2 classes. The 
stallions (Class 23) were “ an excellent class, both for action and

with extraordinary force, his hock action being superb.” 
Harness Horses and Ponies. — Twenty-five entries of mares or 
geldings competed in 2 classes. In the class exceeding 14
