The Society’s Show of 1905. 
Horse Jumping 1 Competitions. — These were held after the 
afternoon parades on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of 
the Show. Prizes amounting to 138Z. were offered in four 
classes, in addition to which the entry fees were divided 
between the first, second, and third prize winners. 
Shires. — The yearlings and two-year-olds were especially 
good, both in numbers and quality. Lord Rothschild gained 
the Male Championship with a three-year-old stallion, Delamere 
Chorister ; and the same exhibitor's two-year-old stallion, 
Childivick Champion, was Reserve. The Female Championship 
fell to Sir Albert Muntz, M.P., for Dunsmore Fuchsia ; 
and Mr. John Bradley’s Halstead Duchess 3rd. was Reserve 
Number. 
Clydesdales.— Though the classes were small, the quality 
in every case was excellent. Both the Male Championship 
honours were taken by Messrs. A. & W. Montgomery, with 
Baron Fyvie and the first prize yearling in Class 55. These 
exhibitors have now accomplished the unique achievement of 
gaining both the Male Championship honours at each of the 
three Park Royal Shows, and on every occasion since the 
Championship was first offered by the Clydesdale Horse 
Society. Both the Female Championship honours were 
gained by Mr. J. E. Kerr, with Lady Carnet and Ambrosine 
respectively. 
Suffolks. — Class 60, for stallions foaled in or before 
1901, v/as easily headed by Mr. Kenneth M. Clark’s Sudbourne 
Count , which, “ if a size bigger, would be a perfect horse.” 
The same exhibitor also won the first prize for brood mares, 
in Class 64, with Sudbourne Arabelle and her foal. The 
two classes for fillies were very good ones, and the first prize 
in each case was gained by Sir Cuthbert Quilter. There 
were several grand geldings in Class 67, suitable for heavy 
town work. For the first time a Championship prize was 
provided for this breed by the Suffolk Horse Society, the 
prize being a Challenge Cup, value fifty guineas, for the best 
Suffolk Stallion exhibited in Classes 60 to 63, the Cup to become 
the absolute property of an exhibitor winning it three times. 
The Cup was gained this year by Mr. Alfred J. Smith, with 
his three-year-old stallion, Bendlesham Sorcerer , and a portrait 
of this animal is given opposite. 
Cattle. 
The great feature of the cattle section, if not of the whole 
Show, was the magnificent collection of Shorthorns. The 
total of 262 constitutes the largest entry of this breed ever 
recorded at a “ Royal ” Show, exceeding by 40 the Windsor 
record of 222 entries in 1889.
