The Bristol Show , 1913. 
animals. Bawdon, by “ Galashiels,” and Mr. Howard 
Taylor’s Field Marshal , which were third and reserve, are 
likely to make valuable pony sires. The yearling winner, 
Ulster Day , is an exceedingly level well-formed colt, with fine 
quality and good shoulders. Forward Girlie , the second, shows 
all the true characteristics of a polo pony. The two-year- 
old class was very good. The winner, Flu , is a high-class 
filly with great quality — the second, The Buzzer , is a deep 
well-coupled and well-balanced colt. The first three animals 
in the class for three-year-olds were all well up to the type — 
compact and with liberty. The brood mares were good, all the 
first three being nice mares of the right sort. Spariding Crocus , 
the winner, is a mare of quite the type to produce a high-class 
pony. Generally the animals shown speak much for the credit 
and enterprise of the Polo Society and others interested in the 
breed, especially the brood mares which, if mated with animals 
to reproduce their type, must breed valuable polo ponies. 
Cleveland Bays and Coach Horses. — The entries in these 
two classes were only few in number, but this is in some 
measure accounted for by the distance from Yorkshire which 
is, of course, the home of the breed. Shortness in numbers, 
however, was in some measure made up for by the excellent 
quality of the exhibits, all of ‘which are of good class. The 
winner in the stallion class, Rilling ton Victor , is an excep- 
tionally good horse with good back, and excellent character 
and action. The second prize horse, Tantalus , also shows fine 
quality and moves well, and is a typical coach horse. The 
third prize horse is of the Cleveland Bay type and has good 
action. There were only two mares and they were of different 
type. The winner, Harome Beauty , is a commanding mare and 
a fine mover. Rillington Attraction is a short-legged powerful 
mare with quality, and she moves well, though scarcely so well 
as the winner. There was not much between them, and they 
both had good foals at foot. 
Hackneys. — These classes were not so finely represented, 
either in numbers or quality, as at Doncaster in 1912, although 
some very high-class horses were shown. The male Champion- 
ship went to Mr. Walter W. Rycroft’s Hopwood King , who had 
greatly improved since gaining premier honours at the London 
Show. Mr. Ernest Bewley’s Woodhatch Sunflower was awarded 
the female Championship, a beautiful filly with fine action and 
conformation. 
Hackney Ponies.— These classes were unfortunately small in 
the number of ponies exhibited, but the quality was excellent. 
In Class 57 for stallions, Southworth Swell was an outstanding 
winner, a beautiful pony all over and with extra grand action. 
In Class 59 for three-year-old mares or geldings, the winner,
