The Derby Show , 1906. 
brought out a number of good animals of fairly equal merit. 
Mares (without foals) were very good indeed, and the same 
may be said of the three-year-old fillies, there being some grand 
animals in this class. Class 68 (fillies, foaled in 1904) was 
a large one, the winner having plenty of size and quality ; the 
class throughout was of great merit. The yearling filly class 
was also very large, there being many animals of uniform 
merit. In the local classes there were many good animals, 
especially the fillies foaled in 1904-5. 
Clydesdales. — In the class for brood mares with foals at 
foot, only three came forward. The winning mare was an 
exceptionally good one, with size, symmetry, and quality, and 
she was a good mover. This mare was afterwards awarded the 
Female Championship. The three-year-old filly, which was 
the only one of that age shown, was a good specimen of the 
breed and a good size, with fine wearing feet and legs. 
The two-year-old fillies were all of good promise, the first 
prize filly being specially well brought out, with the best of 
bone and good feet. 
In the class for three-year-old stallions, the animals were 
of entirely different types — the first being of the clean-boned 
kind with size, and likely to make a wearing stallion ; the 
other being more of the old-fashioned short-legged sort. Of 
the two-year-old stallions, the first prize winner, a black colt 
of good size and substance, was also awarded the Male 
Championship. The first in the yearling stallion class was a 
colt of fine quality, well set on his pasterns ; he looked like 
growing into a good horse. The second was a big-sized colt, 
but lacked the quality of the first. On the whole the quality 
of the exhibits was fairly good. 
Suffolks. — The Judges expressed their regret that these 
classes were not better filled, Class 77 (stallions, foaled in 1904) 
only really representing the breed in point of numbers. The 
first prize horse in Class 76 was good in quality and substance, 
but might perhaps have stood over more ground. He also 
took the Championship. In Class 77 the first prize winner 
was full of quality, but slightly lacking in bone below the 
knee. The second prize horse, though plain on the top, was 
a promising colt. The exhibits in Class 79 were all beautiful 
mares, and typified the best points of the breed. The first 
prize animal in Class 80 was a charming filly, close to the 
ground, with substance and quality combined. 
Agricultural Horses. — The Judges reported that in the four- 
year-old class the winner was a massive big sound horse. 
In the three-year-old class, in which there were seven entries, 
the first four possessed all the characteristics which go to make 
a valuable horse for heavy work. Only two horses were shown
