type of mare. The foals, however, were decidedly poor. The 
yearling fillies were a good class, and the prize winners were 
all of capital merit. The exhibits in the two-year-old class 
were mostly well grown, with quality. The three-year-old 
filly class was not a good one. The winner in Class 8 (yearling 
colts or geldings) is a useful colt. The two-year-old gelding prize 
winners were useful. The first prize three-year-old gelding was 
an exceptionally good horse. The breeding and young horses 
were, on the whole, very good. The Hunters shown under 
saddle were decidedly above the average, and the winners were 
all horses of considerable merit and good quality. 
Polo and Riding Ponies. — The animals shown under saddle 
were few in number and not exceptional in merit. The 
exhibits in the breeding and young classes were all very 
good. 
Cleveland Bays. — The Judge reported that Class 14 (stallions 
foaled in 1903 or 1904) was one of the best he had seen. The 
first prize colt had plenty of bone and good all round action. 
The second was a similar horse but was “ rather short coupled.” 
Class 15 (brood mares with foals) was remarkably good. The 
first prize filly in Class 16 had fine action and plenty of quality. 
Coach Horses. — The stallion and filly classes were better 
filled than they have been for some years past, and some of 
the animals were of considerable merit. In Class 18 (mares with 
foals at foot) there were only two entries. The fillies were 
a good class of average quality. 
Hackneys. — The Judges of these classes presented the 
following report on the exhibits which came before them : — 
The breeding section of Hackneys was well above the average in numbers, 
and the quality throughout was excellent, most of the best animals seen out. 
this year being entered. Yearling colts and the newly formed classes for 
geldings were the only weak entries. 
Three-year-old stallions had four first-class hackneys at top. The winner, 
Brigham Radiant, a very typically fine-actioned bay by “Rosador,” was after- 
wards placed reserve for Champion honours. Sir Walter Gilbey’s Dashing Lad , 
by “ Royal Danegelt,” was a good second. Mr. Haley took third with a big 
free-moving chestnut by “ Rosador.” Two-year-olds formed a capital class, 
and contained the Champion stallion, Copmanthorpe Performer , sired by 
“ Garton Duke of Connaught,” a dark chestnut, short-legged, brilliant-actioned 
colt which was Junior Champion in London, and the best young horse seen out 
this season. Mr. Evans was second with Gartonius , a home-bred one, and, 
like the winner, sired by “ Garton Duke of Connaught.” He is well made, with 
good bone and excellent action, and is a very improving sort. 
Only three yearling stallions were entered, all of which were present, 
Mr. Hall winning with a son of “St. Thomas,” which has fair action and 
looks. The larger brood mare class brought out several fine matrons, at the 
head off which stood Rosadora , a well-known winner and London Champion. 
She made a great show and well won the highest honours later on, when she w^as 
adjudged Female Champion. Sir Walter Gilbey’s Mitre is also an excellent 
stamp of brood mare, built somewhat on heavier lines than the winner, and 
also possessed of fine action ; whilst the third, Mr. de Mancha’s Bashful Kate
