also did the second, Tissington Kit Cat , a brown by “ Sir 
Horace,” of true Hackney type. Model Queen was third. 
In the class for horses between 14 and 15 hands, Mr. J. S. 
Sykes won with Fylde Sabrinetta , by “ Garton Duke of 
Connaught,” this mare making a- brilliant show with the best of 
manners. Champion honours were eventually awarded to her. 
Mrs. Hartley Batt’s Hopwood Spark , by “Sir Horace,” a fine 
moving bay, was second, followed by Lady Defiant , another 
good mover. This was an excellent class. In the class not 
exceeding 15-2 hands, Mr. Tennant’s well-known Authority , 
by “ Ganymede,” won well with his brilliant action. Mr. 
Makeague’s Luminator was second. In the over 15-2 hands 
class, Mr. Gerard Jurgens, from Holland, won with the brown 
gelding, Padiant. This good-looking son of “Mathias” was 
evidently enjoying the mud, going both fast and high all 
round. Silver Ness , a well-known winner, was second — a 
typical Hackney mare by “ Canny Man.” Mr. Le Marchant’s 
big chestnut gelding, The Only Way , was third. 
The under 15-2 hands pairs produced as well-matched 
and fine -actioned horses as could be seen anywhere. Mrs. 
Hartley Batt’s Hopivood Spark and Hopivood Horace , own 
brothers by “ Sir Horace,” had perfect manners and brilliant 
action. A valuable pair, Authority and Astonishment , were 
next, with Mr. Makeague’s bays- in third position, and Mr. 
Paul Hoffman’s King of Fashion and Prince Dashaway , 
Reserve. In the larger classes for pairs, Mr. Gerard Jurgens’ 
well-matched Radiant and Glenburn Lass made a grand 
show, and well deserved the first prize. Mr. Kerr’s pair were 
second, and Miss Ella Ross’s well-known blacks were third. 
In tandems, Mrs. Hartley Batt again won somewhat easily 
with Hopwood Spark and Hopwood Horace , Miss Ella Ross 
being second with her perfectly trained blacks. 
Shetland Ponies. — These animals were typical of the breed, 
and the winners had splendid action. 
Mountain and Moorland Ponies. — The Judge states that the 
stallions were good specimens of what is required. The 
winner was a particularly powerful straight goer. The two 
mares were nice, smart, and handsome. 
Shires. — Nearly all the classes for Shires at Derby were 
exceptionally good and much better than they have been the 
last few years at the “ Royal.” In Class 60 (three-year-old 
stallions) the winner was a true level animal, and he was 
followed by some very weighty horses. The two-year-old 
stallions (Class 61) were larger in number and were a very 
good lot, there being several animals that looked like doing 
good to the breed in future. The yearling colts (Class 62) 
were a very useful lot. The class for mares with foals at foot
