(November 11th, Craven Steeplechase of £110 at Liverpool. In the Sportsman of Wednesday, 15th February, 1888, the Special Commis- sioner in referring to "Victor II.," said, "Another of 'Victor's' family, though thoroughbred only as regards tail male descent, merits more than passing notice. This is 'Victor II.,' the winner of several steeplechases, including the Cheltenham Grand Annual, the People's Handicap at Kells and the Craven Steeplechase at Liverpool. That he was a more than useful steeplechaser will be generally admitted, whilst in evidence of his pluck may be cited a hard-fought battle when Mr. John Beasley just got the better of John Jones on the Lammar Lande. In training ' Victor II. ' filled the eye as a thick-set though lengthy horse, scarcely of the average steej)lechaser's height, but strongly knit all round, and heavily laden with muscle as to his loins and quarters, his arms and second thighs. Differing in colour, and not quite so lengthy, there yet were about him certain characteristics which distinguished 'The Lamb.' He is not admitted to ' Weatherby,' and perhaps is not quite clean bred, the stain coming from his dam, who was a lengthy, low-standing mare, on a small scale, though wondrous strong, and showing exquisite quality. . . . But what is most extraordinary connected with ' Victor II. ' is tliat his only alliance with a thoroughbred mare has produced that most representative and good colt, 'Admiral Benbow.' Of course, I mean to say the latter's dam alone boasted pure origin among those allied with ' Victor II.' up to the close of the season in which the said youngster was born. True, ' the Admiral's ' dam is a highly-bred mare from the Beenham Stud, by ' Doncaster ' from ' Queen of Diamonds,' by ' King of Trumps ' out of ' Amethyst,' by ' Touch- stone,' but she did no good on the turf herself, nor did the results of her alliances with ' Wenlock ' and ' Highborn ' prove other than utter failures, though in each case, apparently, the progeny was reared." The writer then goes on to say that many thoroughbred mares in Ireland are not registered, and possibly " Maid of Honour " is one of them, and he has no doubt in regarding the pedigree of " Victor II." as though "he sat above the salt." In response to inquiries, Mr. Edward Jones kindly supplied the following information : — " Maid of Honour " is by " St. George " ; her dam is not in the Stud Book, but no doubt she was thoroughbred, as she was taken by a young officer to join his regiment at the Curragh, and not being quite up to weight as an officer's charger, was exchanged for a lialf-bred mare. She was then run in half-bred races, in which half-breds were allowed 71bs. which would exclude her from entering into the pages of " Weatherby" again. 10 RECORD OF MARES AND SIRES. Vol. V.

Rosaura was sent to Doncaster to be sold, with her grand-daughter " Doefoot," by King of 'Trumps.

"New Oswestry" was ridden in most of his Races by " Mr. Charles" otherwise Colonel Rivers Bulkeley, one of the Council of the Hunters' Improvement Society. In the Live Stock Joicrnal of July 14th, 1893, Sir R. D. Green Price, Bart,, thus writes of this famous Hunter sire ; — "It is, however, to a grandson of 'Pocahontas' that I am looking, when daring to advocate sires which have not found their way into the Stud Book. I allude to ' New Oswestry,' or rather to his descendants, for he, alas ! is dead. He was a son of ' Knight of Kars,' out of ' Debonnaire,' by ' Newminster,' out of ' Mrs. Taft.' . . . The stain of blood, as is generally known, comes from ' Mrs. Taft,' which, nevertheless, was good enough to win the Cesarewitch. I make no apology for placing ' New Oswestry ' as the best type of Hunter sire within our recollection, for not only was he a remarkable horse himself— so good, indeed, that, to quote the words recently written by a man who knew him well, and rode him in most of his races, ' there is no doubt but that he was the best horse of his time, {ind there is little doubt but that he could have won the Liverpool Grand National, Queen's Plates and Cesarewitch the same year.' As it was, he belonged to one of the most eccentric of men, by trade a butcher, who preferred to run him about at all the little meetings for small stakes, rather than give him the 14 RECORD OP MARES AND SIRES. VOL. V. chances he deserved. . . . He was a grand horse to look over : a bay ; with power enough to carry any reasonable weight to hounds, and with the best of tempers : his limbs must have been of cast iron to carry him through the host of encounters (he won fifty races) in which lie took part, and he was never known to fall. As a sire, it may safely be said that he never begot a bad one, and no horse had a worse chance : but whether the mare was small or big, light or coarse, it made little difference — the ' young New Oswestrys ' were either good hunters or steeijlechasers. Of the latter class I have only to point to 'St. Galmier ' ■•'• and ' Savoyard ' -■' as specimens, while of hunters their name is legion. One remark- able instance I call to mind is a splendid hunter ridden by a lady in Shropshire, the dam of which was merely a cob, and the brother of this horse was sold for £600 to carry a king or prince abroad." * See pages 4 and 132 HUNTER MAEES AND THEIE PEODUCE.

It was decided to invite the Judges acting at the 1892 Show 1392 to furnish a brief report on the exhibits which came before ^^°^^- them, and to supplement this report with a short statistical statement, conveying any details of interest. Lieut. -Colonel Eivera Bulkeley and Mr. T. H. Hutchinson Judges accepted the Council's invitation to act as Judges, and Mr. Referee. Henry Withers kindly undertook the duties of Eeferee. Owing to indisposition Lieut. -Colonel Eivers Bulkeley was unable to attend the Show, and Mr. John Cooper took his place. The two Judges were unanimous in their awards, and Mr. Henry Withers was not called into the ring to give his adjudication in any one Class. The Judges report as follows : — The Society is to be congratulated upon the Show, judges' Many most promising young hunters were brought before ^^^^ ' us, and, taken as a whole, showed more good breeding than those exhibited at former Shows. Whatever may be said or written to the contrary, if you want a hunter that can really follow hounds you must have blood and plenty of it ; if you want to breed a quiet, strong, slow horse that will do for a fat old man to trot about upon, and get an appetite for his dinner, it matters little whether you breed from a cart mare or use a half-bred stallion. At this Show it is most satisfactory to find a large proportion of the winners are by the Government premium sires. 136 LONDON SHOW, 1892. Class 1. — Mares, four years old, — 13 entries. The premium winners were five good mares, two or three of which ouglit to make very valuable hunters, and are good enough to win in any show-yard. Class 2. — Mares, three years old, — 14 entries. This Class contained some beautiful fillies ; three or four of the best are by premium sires, and the youngsters certainly do them credit. Class 3. — Mares, two years old, — 23 entries. Amongst them were several blood-like galloping fillies, and to five of these we awarded the premiums and fancy that when they are ridden to hounds they will be able to hold their own in good company. Class 4. — Yearling Fillies, — 25 entries. Twenty-three appeared before us : they made a good Class ; the winners were far ahead of the others and ought to grow into nice mares. Class 5. — Geldings, three years old, — 9 entries. This was not a strong Class, and with two or three exceptions they were only of ordinary merit. Class 6. — Geldings, two years old, — 10 entries. In this Class there were two or three nice horses, but nothing very striking ; as a rule, the geldings were not as good as the fillies. Class 7. — Yearling Colts or Geldings, — 12 entries. This was not a strong Class : some of the five premium- takers looked fairly well bred, and will most likely grow into nice horses. ^_ ^^ Hutchinson. John Cooper. The foregoing report shows that the mares and fillies exhibited were superior to the geldings and colts, and this can be easily understood when it is remembered that the latter appeared for the first time in the Society's prize- list ; and the same improvement in quality and numbers that has taken place in the mares and fillies may be looked for among the colts at future Shows. LONDON SHOW, 1892. 137 The Council prepared a liberal piize-list for the young stock divided into the preceding seven Classes. In each of the mare and fillv Classes five premiums of Breeders' Premiums. £15 were offered, and in each of the gelding and colt Classes five premiums of £10, but it must not be inferred that Brood Mares were omitted from participating in the prize money given by the Society, as, provided they were registered in the Prize Bccord or entered for registry in Volume 5 on or before February 1st, 1892, they were awarded £5 through the success of their produce (colts and fillies) without the risk incidental to their exhibition at a time that is considered to be in- jurious to their breeding prospects. The amount of money offered was therefore : — Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4.— 20 Premiums of £15 £300 Amon.it ' ' of Classes 5, 6 and 7. — 15 Premiums of £10 150 Premiums Breeders' Premiums 175 £625 As compared with :— 1889 1890 1891 £300 £420 £415 And Silver Medals. The Council recognised the importance of the represen- Hunter ,.,»,...„, Brood tations made to them as to the risk of brmgmg m-foal mares Mares, to London at the time of year, and they deemed it desirable that premiums and medals for Hunter Brood Mares should be offered during the summer at the Country Shows. With this view the Society's scheme was last 3'ear put in operation when over £119 17s. was distributed. This year's offer has secured the co-operation of twenty-eight County and Agricultural Societies, and the contribution by the Hunters' Improvement Society will not be less than £150. The money offered for Hunter Brood mares at Local Shows, together with the premiums to breeders at the Society's Show, amounts to £325 as against £307 in 1891. 188 LONDON SHOW, 1892. Class 1.— FOUR-YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1888). Class 1. There were thirteen entries in this Class. This is the first year the four-year-old mares have had a class to themselves, and it is difficult to give any reliable data, but they numbered in the Classes (four-year-old mares and upwards) at the previous shows : — 1887 1888 1889 1890 1891 5 5 4 10 4 The premium winners were : — Mare.

Premium 1890. "Carina's" dam, "Queen Mab" (254), has another winner at this Show in " Saffron " (866) (Class 4). " Dorothy " is out of "Yorkshire Lassie" (141), which has bred several winners at the Society's Shows. The Eeserve : — " The Queen " (657), out of the well-known "Lavinia" (74), gained premiums in 1890 and 1891, while the commended mave, " Pha'be " (622), was awarded a premium in 1891. Class 2.— THREE-YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1889). Class 2. The five mares to which the Judges awarded honours were : — jMare. Previous Awards at the Society's Shows. Blue Empress (497) ... H.C. 1891.

Vesta (663) ... Premium 1890. LONDON SHOW, 1892. 139 The entries numbered fourteen as compared with : — 1887 1888 1889 1890 1891 8 9 15 17 18 Class 3.— TWO-YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1890). The mares to which the Judges awarded premiums in this Class 3. Class were : — Mare. Previous Awards at the Society's Shows. Lady Hamilton ... Premium 1891. Pansy (838) Puritan (631) ... Commended 1891. Queenie ... Eeserve 1891. Euby Of these five premium mares " Puritan " (631) is out of " Goodcraft " (187), awarded the Society's Gold Medal at last year's Compton Stud Co.'s Show. " Puritan " is sired by "Huguenot"(a premium horse) and her dam was by "Kingcraft," a premium sire in 1886. The Eeserve in this Class, " Sweet Briar," is a daughter of "Wild Briar" (481), a premium-taker in 1891 ; and the commended mare," Eomany " (640), is own sister to "Zingara" (482), one of the successful mares in Class 1. " Lady Connaught " (561) and " Mrs. O'Shea " (824) — ^other entries — each claimed premiums in 1891. The entries of two-year-old mares have increased since their inclusion in the prize-sheet in 1886 : — 1886 1887 1888 1889 1890 1891 1892 6 6 5 18 18 20 • 23 Class 4.— YEARLING FILLIES (foaled in 1891). Twenty-five entries (as compared with eighteen in 1890 and Class 4. twenty-six in 1891) were sent in for this Class, and twenty- three were inspected by the judges, who selected for premiums, Filly. Queen of the May (861). Saffron (866). Filly. Duchess of Connaught (527). Lady Fife (775). Miss Prudence (820). The first-named comes of a distinguished family of premium- takers, her dam, " Princess " (247), being among the Society's list of winners in 1888, and a daughter of " Lavinia " (74). 140 LONDON SHOW, 1892. " Lady Fife's " d&m, " Duchess " (524), took the Society's Gold Medal at Bath last year, while the dam of " Miss Prudence " — " Prudence " (630) has bred another winner, her filly, " May Morn" (399), having won a premium in 1889. "Saffron" is the second filly out of "Queen Mab " (254), securing a premium at this Show. The dam, " Petticoat" (843), of the re- serve filly, " Nightgown," was a Gold Medal mare at the Lincolnshire Show last year. Class 5.— THREE-YEAR-OLD GELDINGS (foaled in 1889). Class 5. Nine entries were made in this Class, and the awards went to the following : — Gelding. King Arthur. Prime Minister. Geldiug. Blue Jacket. Blue Eegent. General Servant.

Taking a low estimate and assuming there are only 400 Thoroughbred and Hunter Stallions serving Hunter Mares in the country, the 62 Premium Sires would represent about ^ of the Stallions serving. There are 15 out of 35 winners sired by Premium stallions, which is equal to | of the whole or 3 times as many as should have been expected from the Premium horses. THOROUGHBEED STALLIONS. The entries of Thoroughbred Stallions showed an increase over those of the previous years, 117 being entered for the 22 Queen's Premiums of £200 offered by the Royal Commission on Horse-breeding, and the 3 Premiums of £200 and 3 Gold Medals offered by the Eoyal Agricultural Society of England, and the Warwick Local Committee respectively.

The Show, held conjointly with the Hackney Horse Society, Success of was carried through successfully, and the Council are indebted to the Stewards, Mr, J. B. Ellis, Major G. C. Eicardo and Mr. Frank Usher, for the manner ia which their share in the arrangements was performed ; and to Mr. Henry Withers, Mr. John Cooper and Mr. T. H. Hutchinson for the duties kindly undertaken by tliem. The seating accommodation was considerably reduced by the London County Council, who would not allow any seating to be erected over the Exhibitors' Stalls, much to the incon- venience of members and the public ; otherwise the Eighth Show may be regarded as one of the most successful which have been held under the management of the two Societies. At the Seventh Annual General Meeting, Lord Middleton, Seventh the President, referred to the comparatively small number of :\ieetino. members of the Society, considering the number of gentlemen who hunt and who necessarily benefit by the work of the Compara- Society, and suggested that each member should do what he timely ■^ ^® small could to obtain new subscribers.

Following the precedent adopted at the previous Show the Council decided to invite the Judges to draw up a short report on the various Hunter Classes which came before them, supplementing their remarks with a few statistics bearing on the salient points of the Society's Ninth Annual Spring Exhibition. Agreeably to this decision the judges — Major Langlands Judges' and Mr. E. J. Mann — submitted the following report : — In bringing our report before the Society, we would beg to state that we were much impressed with the excellence and the forward condition in which the young stock were brought up for exhibition, and we are of opinion that this state of things is of great advantage to breeders, as the more forward in condition young stock can be produced the more marketable they are. It is a very satisfactory feature that many of the young horses which have gained premiums and commen- dation are sired by the Eoyal Commission Stallions. 148 LONDON SHOW, 1893. Yearlings. Yearliugs. — These Classes were exceptionally good ; they were well grown, good movers and showed plenty of quality and substance ; this, combined with action, carries weight. Two-year- Two-year-olds. — The same remarks apply to the Two-year-old Three year Colts and Fillies, but when we came to the Three-year- ol^s. olds, though much pleased with the Fillies, we were on the whole disappointed with the Colts, both in point of numbers and quality. Four-year- Four-year-olds. — The Four-year-old Mares left the judges but °^^^- little choice, as only six Mares appeared to compete for the five premiums offered. In concluding our remarks we would draw attention to the great improvement in the young stock exhibited since the Hunters' Improvement Society started, and we would point out to breeders the advisability of using Premium Stallions and well-bred Mares. Egbert J. Mann. J. S. Langlands. March 3rd, 1893. Referee. ^^^' Henry Withers, on the invitation of the Council, again acted as Eeferee. P ■ e Lists ^^ '^^y ^® well, before dealing with each Class, to briefly of 1892 review the Prize lists of this and the preceding year, and it may be at once noted that though the amount oifered for competition last March was less than in 1892, the total entry showed an increase. The Classes for Mares were drafted on the basis of the previous year, viz. five equal premiums of £15 (with £5 to the breeders in all cases where the dams had been registered in the Kecord of Hunter Mares and Sires) for four, three, and two-year-old mares and yearling fillies. The Classes for three and two-year-old geldings were thrown open to colts ; but only one colt (and that a reserve number) received recognition at the LONDON SHOW, 1893. 149 hands of the judges. The five premiums of £10 in last year's list were reduced to three, with a proviso, in the two-year-old and yearling classes, that if more than fifteen entries were made in either class an additional premium of £10 would be offered, and the seventeen entries in each class secured the award of the extra premium of £10, with the accompanying breeder's prize. The following comparative table shows the respective Compari- monetary value of, and entries in each class for the last five Entries. Shows : — Hunters. 1889. 1890. 1891. 1892. 1893.

J No breeding qualification. While' retaining the class for Thoroughbred Stallions, not Hunter competing for Queen's Premiums, the Council introduced a new feature in the Society's Prize List by the institution of a Sires. 150 LONDON SHOW, 1893. Local Scheme of Premiums and Medals class for Hunter Sires (not Thoroughbred), registered or eligible for registry in the Society's Eecord, under the following rules: — A Half-bred Stallion may be accepted for registry as a Hunter Sire on the following conditions : — (1) Provided he has won races under Jockey Club rules, or open races under Grand National rules, or (2) Provided his only half-bi-ed strain comes directly through an ancestor which has won races under Jockey Club rules, or open races under Grand National rules : or (3) Provided his only half-bred strain comes directly through a stallion that has sired, or through a mare that has bred, winners of races under Jockey Club rules, or open races under Grand National rules. Any of these Hunter Sires approved by the Judges, after veterinary examination, would receive the Society's Silver Medal. The privileges assured to Thoroughbred Sires in the award of the Society's Gold Medal at Country Shows are also extended to them, and mares with foals by Eegistered. Hunter Sires are now eligible to compete. The scheme of premiums and medals for Hunter Brood Mares at Country Shows grows apace each year, and make annually a greater demand on the Society's funds, having increased during the three years of its existence in the following manner : — 1891. 1892. 1893. Number of Societies co-operating . . Grant by Hunters" Improvement Society 20 £119 17s. 28 £loO 2s. 34 £191 OS. These figures speak for themselves, and show how fully this section of the Society's efforts is appreciated, and though the increasing applications bear heavily on the Society's financial resources, the Council are keenly alive to two great benefits accruing from the existence of the scheme — firstly, the award of these prizes to Hunter Brood Mares at their own local Shows obviates the risk and danger incidental to their LONDON SHOW, 1893. 151 exhibition in London in the spring ; and secondly, and equally important to tenant-farmers and Hunter breeders, the local Societies have in the majority of cases doubled their prizes for Hunter Brood Mares to obtain this Society's Medal ; no Society giving less than £2o in prizes for Brood Mares being able to secure the grant. To insure the sequence of the classes in the Catalogue the Thoroughbred Stallions, not competing for premiums, and eiatered as " Extra Stoclv," followed those entered for the Queen's Premiums and were arranged in Class I., and it will be well to follow this numerical order in dealing with the statistics of the Show. Class 1.— THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS (not competing FOR Premiums). Three entries, as compared with five in 1892, were made Class l. in this Class, and each stallion had "won his spurs" in. previous competitions for service Premiums : — Marshal Soult ... Queen's Premium 1892. Scot Guard ... Premium (Hunters' Improre- Society) 1886. Westburton . . . Queen's Premium 1888. Silver medals w"ere awarded to all three Stallions. Class 2. — HUNTER SIRES (not Thoroughbred), registered, OR ELIGIBLE FOR REGISTRY IN THE SOCIETY'S RECORD. Three entries Mere also made for Class 2, but only two of these Class 2. came to the Show, the absentee being" Henry Benedict " (4), owned by Miss M. Temple. His dam is by the celebrated Hunter Sire " New Oswestry " (13), whose extended pedigree and piincipal races will be found on pages 12 and 13. "Sir George" (7), by " Favo," out of " Georgina," by " Roman Bee," out of " Cimeraire," by " Eapid Rhone," out of " Calcavella," by " Burgundy," out of " Certe," by " Sir Heicules," was exhibited by Mr. Guy Fenwick and was bred by Mr. Rice Meredith of Eatbbride Manor, Kildare, Ireland. He is a bay horse with black points, foaled in 1885, standing 16"1 152 LONDON SHOW, 1893. high, and his success in the Leopardstown Handicap on August 27th, 1888, entitled him to registry and exhibition. " The Baron" (9), the other exhibit, is by " Bravado," out of " Patch," by "Ernest," out of "Jessie," by " Contract," out of " Cumberland Lassie," — a noted winner of races on the flat and over liurdles some forty-six years ago, winning, among others, a match of £100 against " Ellen McGregor." The owner of "The Baron" was Mr. J. E. Huddleston, Hill Wood, Teubury, who also bred him. This horse has also been represented at the Society's Shows as a successful Hunter Sire by his daughter " Duchess," which took a premium at the 1891 Show as a yearling filly, while another of his produce, "Baroness," was commended in the same year. Silver medals were awarded to both Stallions. Class 3.— FOUR- YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1889). Class 3. The entries in this Class do not compare favourably with those of the preceding year, though the same amount in prizes was offered. Seven entries for premiums value £100 cannot be considered a satisfactory response. A winner in the three-year-old Mares in 1892, " Clematis," was again selected for honours. The five premium Mares were : - Previous Awards at the Mare. Society's Show. Bonny Girl (699) ... Premium 1891 Clematis (715) ... Premiums 1891 and 1892. Dimples ... Commended 1891. Miss Peel (613) ... Premium 1891. Sweet Briar. " Lady Eose," the Eeserve Mare, was sired by the well-known " Lancastrian," Premium Stallion in 1888, 1889, 1890 and 1891. Class 4.— THREE- YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1890). Class 4. The entries showed an increase of five over the corresponding LONDON SHOW, 1893. 153 1892 Class, and three winners in last year's list again figured as premium-takers : — Previous Awards at the Mare. Society's Show. Caramel (709) Lady Hamilton ... Premiums 1891 and 1892. Queenie . . . Keserve 1891 ; Premium 1892. Eomany (640) ... Commended 1892. Kuby . . . Premium 1892. " Caramel " was a new comer, but " Lady Hamilton," by her present win, secures a premium in three successive years. " Queenie," Reserve in 1891, improved her position in 1892 by securing a premium and has maintained her place in the prize- list, while " Eomany " changed her commendation of last year into a prize-card. " Euby," the property of Mr. John Beach, again takes the position among the winners that she occupied last year as the property of Miss A. K. King. The reserve mare " Pansy " (838) won a premium in 1892, while the dam of the highly-commended " Cocoatina " (718) was sired by " Huguenot," a premium sire. Among other entries in this class were " Lady Connaught " (561), and " Puritan" (631), which won premiums in 1891 and 1892 respectively; in fact, this class contained eight animals which, as two-year- olds, faced the Judges at the Society's Show last year. Class 5.— TWO-YEAR-OLD MARES (foaled in 1891). Twenty-two entries were made for this Class, and the class 5. premium-winners included two of last year's successful competitors : — Previous Awards at the Mare. Society's Show. Duchess of Connaught (527) ... Premium in 1892. Oak-apple. Queen of the May (861) ... Premium in 1892. Stella (892). Truce (903) 154 LONDON SHOW, 1893. The mare " Stella " (892) fully justified her selection in the prize-list, as she has taken duriug 1893 the First Prize at the Royal Show, the Doncaster, Peterborough, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and the Great Yorkshire Shows. The Reserve mare " Hesper " (764) was by a Premium horse, " Homely," out of an inspected mare, while " Lady Fife " (775), a premium mare in 1892, was highly commended. " Souvenir," also awarded a high commendation, is out of " Middleton" (813), a mare that has bred several foals, two of which, " Middleton " and "Nigel," have gained several Firsts and Seconds. " Souvenir " is sister to " Stella " (649) awarded the Society's Gold Medal at Ripon in 1891. Mr. Joicey's " Peppermint " mare (842) was also highly commended, being out of " Astasia " (680), which won the Beaufort Hunt Jubilee Steeplechase in 1887. Class 6.— YEARLING FILLIES (foaled in 1892). Class G. The entries here numbered eighteen, and the five fillies awarded premiums were : — Daybreak (731). Lady Cecil. Miss Kheen (819). Ruddigore filly. Sweetheart. " Goodcraft " (187), so well-known in the prize-ring as a Hunter Brood Mare, was the dam of the " Ruddigore " filly so that the successes obtained by both parents are continued in the next generation. The Reserve, " Falka," is out of " Marion " (807) — a winner in the Hunter Brood Mare Classes at the 1891 Show of the Society. A thoroughbred filly " Princess Marion," by " Ruddigore," out of "Queen Marion," by " King Tom," was highly commended, as were " Festive" and " Real Gein," the latter by " Pearl Diver," out of the registered mare "Dunny" (322). LONDON SHOW, 1893. 155 Class 7.— THREE- YEAR-OLD HUNTER COLTS OR GELDINGS (foaled in 1890). The fourteen entries made for this Class were composed of Class '. four Colts and ten Geldings, but in the award of the three premiums and other honours the geldings " swept the board." The three successful animals were : — Geldings. Bruno. Hansard. Whitewings. and were new comers, as well as the Eeserve " Eufus," but " Gadabout," which was commended, appeared last year as a premium-taker. CLA.SS 8.— TWO-YEAR-OLD HUNTER COLTS OR GELDINGS (foaled in 1891). The proportion of colts to geldings among the seventeen Class entries in this Class was five to twelve, and one Colt " Huntsman " — was noticed and placed Eeserve. The four selections for premiums were : — Geldings. Bay. Firehght. Prince Pero. Blue Blood gelding. Only one had before appeared as a winner at the Society's Show, viz. : " Prince Pero," which, as a yearling, was allotted a premium in 1892. His dam, the famous " Lavinia " (74), is certainly honoured at this Show, for two of her offspring, " Prince Pero " and " Lord Pero," gain premiums as two- year-old and yearling colts respectively, while her grand- daughter, " Duchess of Connaught " (527), and grand-son, " Count Bercy," are also winners in Classes 5 and 9. " Jim," the Eeserve number in the yearling colts in 1892, was unnoticed. 156 LONDON SHOW, 1893. Class 9. Summary of Awards. Premium Sires. Class 9.— YEARLING HUNTER COLTS OR GELDINGS (foaled IN 1892). The seventeen entries, the same number as received in Class 8, were composed exckisively of colts, and the Judges awarded the four premiums as follows : — Colts. Count Bercy. Lord Pero. Make Haste colt. Prince Idwal. Keference has been made to " Count Bercy " and " Lord Pero." The "Make Haste " colt is out of " Heroine " (763), an inspected mare, while the dam of the Eeserve " Melrose " won the Society's Gold Medal at the Bath Horse Show, 1891. Thirty-one Premiums were awarded, seven animals were reserved, eleven highly commended and one commended. Nine "Premium Stallions" sired eleven winners.

" Connaught " and "Omega" again have one winner ; while the other Stallions siring each a premium-taker at the Society's Show in 1893 are "Blue Blood," " Eglamore," "Friar Rush," " Huntingcower," "Peppermint" and "Sam Kheen." Of the seven Reserve numbers three were sired by Premium Sires, while six of the eleven high commendations were accredited to five other Premium horses, " Ruddigore " again leading the way with two in this section of honours. THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS. The number of stallions entered to compete for the thirty Entries. Queen's Premiums offered by the Royal Commission on Horse- Breeding decreased in 1893 to 105, as compared with 117 in 1892. The Royal Agricultural Society of England did not this year offer their Service Premiums, and the Royal Com- mission on Horse-Breeding decided to reduce the value of the Queen's Premiums to £150 each and increase the number to Increase in Stallions thirty, which enabled six stallions to be allotted to Scotland serving. where four were previously located, and added another stallion to District Class B, to District Class C and District Class F, thus increasing the stallions serving by five horses. Fourteen of the twenty-five stallions serving in 1892 were 1892 again awarded "Queen's Premiums," while sixteen other stallions were selected by the Judges appointed by the Royal Commissioners on Horse-Breeding — the Earl of Lonsdale, Lord Marcus Beresford and Rev. Cecil Legard — to serve under the 1893 scheme. Seven of last year's winners w^eie among the competitors at the last show, but were not honoured. with awards, another, " Marshal Soult," was exhibited in the Extra Stock Class, while the remaining three horses were not entered for competition. A rule of importance was enforced by which a' stallion which had won four Queen's Premiums in the same District Class was ineligible for entry again in the same class, but was eligible for any other District Class. 158 LONDON SHOW, 1893. 1893 Stallions.

LONDON SHOW, 189:3. 159 The Show was aiidoubtedly a great success, the attendance of the members and the pubHc being so large on three of the four days of the Show, that the grand stand accommodation was taxed to its utmost capacity, and many subscribers arriving somewhat late in the afternoon were unable to obtain seats. This, combined with the inadequate accommodation for the ever-increasing number of entries, has led the Joint Horse Show Committee to fully consider the whole question with the possibility of keeping the judging within the prescribed times, and giving the members an opportunity of witnessing a full parade of the exhibits. It was felt that the Show could not go on under the existing combined arrangement, and that one or more of the Societies concerned must withdraw. The outcome of several meetings resolved itself into the separation (after nine combined Shows) of the Hackney Horse Society and the Hunters' Improvement Society, the former taking the week usually occupied jointly by the two Societies, while this Society will devote a third week to its own Show, at which the Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding will offer their Queen's Premiums. Each Society will therefore have its own Show, able to do what was impossible under the old conditions viz, to develop and improve it, and therefore in a better position to forward the interests of the two breeds in which they are severally interested. In thus separating this Society can look back with pleasure to the sincere and harmonious feeling which has always actuated the joint efforts of the two Societies in the administration of their Joint Show, contributing not only to its present success, but also to the encouragement and promo- tion of Horse-Breeding. To the Stewards, Mr. J. B. Ellis, Major G. C. Eicardo and Mr. Fi;ank Usher, the sincere thanks of the Society are due for the able manner in which they grappled with and overcame the difficulties of the large Show. 160 LONDON SHOW, 1893. The Council have re-organized their prize-list for the next Show ou a comprehensive and liberal basis, and they now look to Hunter Breeders and Exhibitors for support to enable the Society to make this, their trial Show, a permanent Annual Exhibition, at which the best types of Hunters, and the young produce of Premium Sires and Eegistered Mares may be seen, thus enlarging the scope and amplifying the aim of the work of the Hunters' Improvement Society. A full list of the awards in 1893 is given on pages 170 to 180, and 191 to 198. HUNTERS' IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY AWARDS OF PREMIUMS AND HONOURS 1892 FOUR-YEAR-OLD MARES.

LOCATION OF THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS, The regulations drawn up for the administration of that portion of the Subsidy of £5000, set apart for encouraging Improvement in the Breed of Horses in Ireland during the seasons 1892 and 1893, differ so materially from the procedure followed in previous years that the particulars of the Horse- Breeding scheme (kindly supplied by the Eoyal Dublin Society) are given in detail, with the prefatory note issued with the list of registered Thoroughbred Stallions for 1893. A list of the Stallions, with the Counties in which they stood in 1892 and 1893 and the number of services and the amount of service fees, has been summarised and is given in two tables at the end of the scheme. ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. 207 PREFATORY NOTE. Owners of Thorough -bred StalHons in every County in Ireland were invited to Kegister their horses for service under the Horse- Breeding Scheme of 1893, as in the previous year. The condi- tions of Eegistration required that the StalHon sliall be entered in Weatherby's Stud Book ; shall be over three and not over eighteen years of age ; shall, by the Eoyal Dublin Society's Veterinary Surgeons, be declared free from all hereditary diseases, and shall in other respects be considered suitable for the objects of the Horse-Breeding Scheme. Applications were received for the Eegistration of 137 Stallions.''' Of these Stallions, 11 failed to pass the Veterinary inspection. Eight could not be registered for other reasons. The remaining 118 were accepted, and appear in this Eegister. Special importance was attached to the test of soundness. The Veterinary inspections were carried out by the Eoyal Dublin Society's Veterinary Surgeons at the stables of the owners. This work involved a considerable outlay, but it was felt that the advantages to the public of having so large a number of Stallions passed through a searching Veterinary examination would amply justify the expenditure. Every one of the 118 Stallions has, by the Eoyal Dublin Society's Veterinary Surgeons, been declared free from all hereditary diseases. This fact is of importance to many beside =■= In 1892 the figures were : — Ai^plications for registry, 147 ; 29 failed to pass the Veterinary inspection and 17 could not be registered for other reasons. The regulations for 1892 were similar to those enumerated in the subsequent pages. 208 ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. the sixteen hundred Farmers who will this year receive direct benefit from the grant for promoting improvement in Horse- Breeding in Ireland. The directions issued to the Veterinary Surgeons are as follows : — 1. " If the Stallion suffers from one or other of the following hereditary diseases, viz. Eoaring, Whistling, Kingbone, Unsound Feet, Navicular Disease, Spavin and Cataract, the Certificate is to be marked Unsound. 2. " If the Horse is free from these diseases, tlie Certificate is to be marked Sound. 3. " No other remarks are to be entered on the Certificate as to the condition of the Horse. 4. " The Veterinary Surgeon is requested to make the inspection of the Horse most careful and searching. He is in particular to thoroughly test the Horse as to the soundness of his wind. For this purpose the Veterinary Surgeon is advised to carry with him a lunge rope, not less than 36 feet long, as in some cases Owners of Stallions may not have such a rope conveniently at hand. 5. " Veterinary Surgeons are particularly requested to regard the results of the inspection as strictly confidential." The Veterinary Surgeons reported that Eoaring, Whistling, Eingbone and Cataract were the prevailing ailments with which unsound Horses were found to be afi'ected. A satisfactory feature reported by the Veterinary Surgeons in some districts is that fewer unsound Stallions were submitted for Eegistration, and also that several horses, rejected last Season''^ by the Hoi'se- Breeding Committee, have disaiypcared from the Country.

Several Mares have been accepted by the Editing Com- Inspection mittee for the book after inspection by a Member of the Council, and they desire especially to bring this rule before all who have Brood Mares suitable for breeding Hunters. Under condition 5, Mares by Premium Sires out of Mares Pedigree registered in or for the Prize Record are eligible. At the present Show the Council have instituted a new 1892 Show. departure in the prize list. Representations having been made to them at various times as to the risk and danger in bringing in-foal Mares to the London Show, they decided to offer Premiums for Hunter Brood Mares in the summer at the country shows, and to supplement the classes for young stock Young at the Society's Spring Show. It was further arranged that the Brood Mares should Brood participate in the honours gained by their produce. The participate breeder of every Premium Animal in the Show, whether Mare, ^" ^^^.^^ Filly, Gelding or Colt will therefore receive an additional honours. Premium, provided the dam is either registered in the Prize Record, or was entered for Vol. V. with the Secretary by February 1st.

SEVENTH ANNUAL GENEBAL MEETING. 223 For the cuiTent year" the Council have issued a similar 1892 Show, offer under amended conditions : — For the best Hunter Brood Mare, in foal to or with foal at foot by a Thoroughbred Horse, and the following Societies have already intimated their accept- ance of the scheme : — Bath and West of England Societj'. Compton Stud Company's Show. Herefordshu-e Horse Show Society. Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. Lechlade and V. W. H. Agricultural Society and Horse Show. Limerick Horse Show. Lincolnshire Agricultural Society. N r t h a mptonshire Agricultural Society. Northumberl and Agricultural Society. Peterborough Agricultural Society. Pytchley Hunt Show. Suffolk Agricultural Association. The amount thus expended in 1891 was £112 4s. 6d., and it is estimated that the scheme in 1892 will entail an ex- penditure of £150. By the death of Me, James Maetin, the Council have lost '^''^ ^^^^ Mr. James a valued Colleague, and the Society a staunch supporter. Martin. Me. Maetin was thoroughly interested in its work, and any practical suggestion for extending its operations or promoting its objects received his warm support and sympathy. Me. Maetin's duties as Steward terminated at the close of the present show, and Majoe G. C. Eicaedo has kindly consented to undertake the duties of the office. This report of the Society's w^ork at its own Shows and in co-operation with the Country Societies, demonstrates that the Council are promoting not only the breeding of Hunters, but are encouraging Farmers and Breeders to send their Brood Mares to the best available Sires, and are thus improving the horses throughout the country, but they look to members to assist them to extend the scope of the operations by inducing all interested in their work to join the Society.

The Council have the pleasure to report that two gentlemen, President who have thoroughly identified themselves with the work of President. the Society since its commencement, have been elected President and Vice-President respectively, — Hon. T. W. FiTZWiLLiAM and Capt. W. H. Fife. At the close of the late Show it became the duty of the steward. Council to nominate a Steward. Major Eicardo kindly undertook the office in March last (rendered vacant through the lamented death of Mr. James Martin), and the Council are happy to report that Major Eicardo has accepted their invitation to act in that capacity for the next three Shows. Though the number of Members is small in comparison to Members, those who hunt and who necessarily benefit in the Society's work, it is satisfactory to report a steady annual increase. The list now comprises : — 1 Honorary. 775 Annual. 81 Life. 33 Life Lady Members. A total of 890, and showing an addition of 50 since June, 1891. 228 GENERAL MEETING AT WARWICK. Balance at Bankers. 1892 Show. Hunter Brood Mares. Societies offering the Gold Medal. The balance at bankers on May 30th was £791 15s. 4d., of which £500 was on the deposit account. The last Show, again held in conjunction with the Hackney Horse Society, was noted for the largest entry as yet made, the figures for the eight shows being : — 1885. 1886. 1887. 1888. 1889. 1890. 1891. 1892. 168 176 246 236 289 457 507 563 The Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding and the Eoyal Agricultural Society of England offered, as in the previous four years, their Service Premiums for Thoroughbred Stallions. The young stock — Mares, Colts and Geldings — were well cared for by this Society, as £625 were offered among the seven classes, a special feature of the prize-list being the Premiums placed at the disposal of Breeders who have registered their Mares in the Society's Eecord. The absence of Premiums for Brood Mares caused some disappointment, but the Council recognized the importance of the representations made to them as to the risk to in-foal Mares travelling at the time of the year, and they decided to offer Premiums and Medals at the local shows. This departure has been well justified by the large increase of applications from Societies which, by enlarging their prizes for Hunter Brood Mares, have claimed this Society's Medal. In 1891 the number of Societies co-operating was twenty ; this year (1892) they are twenty-eight, and their names are : — Abergavenny Horse Show. Bath and West of England Society. Bath Horse Show. Cardiff Horse Show Society. Cheshire Agricultural Society. Go. Cork Agricultural Society. Compton Stud Company's Show. Doncaster Agricultural Society. Exeter Horse Show Society. Herefordshire Horse Show Society. Highland and Agricultural Society. Hollymount Agricultural Society. Lechlade and V. W. H. Agricultural Society and Horse Show. Leicestershire Agricultural Society. Limerick Horse Show. Lincolnshire Agricultural Society. Newbury Horse Show Society. Northamptonshire Agricultural Society. GENERAL MEETING AT WABWICK. 229 Northumberland Agricultural Society. Peterborough Agricultural Society. Pytchley Hunt Show. Ross Horse Improvement Society. Royal Manchester, Liverpool and N. Lancashire Agri. Society. Sherborne and South of England Horse Show. Shropshire and West Midland Agricultural Society. Suffolk Agricultural Society. Tunbridge Wells and S. E. Counties Agricultural Society. Lhaited Counties Hunters' Society. It is gratifying to state that the Committee of the Lechlade Horse Show, in thanking the Hunters' Improvement Society for the Gold Medal awarded to the Hunter Brood Mare " Lismore," at their recent Show, intimated their wish to become Members, and reported that since this Society's Medal was offei-ed, the farmers in their district " were more particular as to what they bred from." The contributions of the Hunters' Improvement Society under this year's scheme will be £150 as against £119 in 1891. The Council have resolved to continue in 1893 the offer of i893. the Society's Medal under similar conditions, viz. : — " At all Agricultural Shows or Horse Shows held in the United Kingdom in 1893, where £25 is given in Prizes to Brood Mares in Hunter Classes, a Gold Medal, or, if preferred, a Bronze Medal and £5, may be given to the best Hunter Brood Mare, in foal to or with foal at foot by a Thoroughbred Horse or Eegistered Hunter Sire. In the event of an in-foal Mare receiving the award, the Society will not forward the Medal till a certificate of foaling has been lodged with the Secretary." Towards the 1892 Show the Council made a grant of £625, 1892 Show. and the Horse Show Committee, after paying the Premiums to Exhibitors and Breeders, &c., had expended £546 7s. The Judges who officiated — Mr. John Cooper and Mr. T. H. Hutchinson — were invited to give a short report on the exhibits which came before them, and it is issued to Members in this volume together with a statistical statement con- veying details of importance and interest. At their April meeting the Council appointed a Special Special Committee, on the motion of Mr. C. W- Tindall, " To con- Committee. 230 GENERAL MEETING AT WARWICK. sider the present position of the Society, more especially as regards the title of its Prize Eecord, and conditions of entry in future volumes for Stallions as well as for Mares." The question is one of such importance that the constitution of the Committee was most carefully considered by the Council, and the Members selected were gentlemen to whose initiative the Society not only owes its origin, but who have always evinced a constant and practical interest in its work. That Committee sat between the April and May meetings of the Council, and after discussion, drew up a report and presented it to the Council. This was printed and distributed, and on June 13th the Council met and fully considered each recom- mendation, and have now to submit the result of their deliberations : — 1. — Title of the Book. The title of the " Record of Prize Mares" shall in future bathe " Hunters' Improvement Society's Record of Mares and Sires." ■2. — Conditions op Entry for Stallions.

A ]\Iare is eligible for entry which has been awarded a prize, been reserved or highly commended in Hunter Classes at any Show in the United Kingdom. 2. A ]\Iare suitable for breeding hunting and half-bred stock, being approved by Editing Committee after inspection by a past or present Member of the Council, will be eligible for entry.

HUNTERS' IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY {Established to promote the Breeding of Riding, Driving and Military Horses) REPORT OF THE COUNCIL TO THE EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS HELD ON WEDNESDAY, March 1st, 1893, AT THE ROYAL AGRICULTUBAL HALL. Members. The Council have to report a constant and steady increase to the Society's Membership during the past year, the list of Subscribers being represented as follows :-^- 1 Honorary 803 Annual 84 Life 36 Life Lady Members Total 924 as compared with 860 Members at the time of last year's Show. Balance In their last Annual Keport the Council were enabled to present a most satisfactory Balance Sheet, to which the enhanced Show receipts, consequent on the visit of Her Majesty the Queen, largely contributed. The finances of the past year have not been so favoured. A large increase in the prize-money, combined with normal Show receipts, raised the expenditure on the Show from £207 3s. lOd. in 1891 to £557 7s. 2d. in 1892 ; while the increasing number of Shows co- operating in the Society's scheme of Medals and Premiums for Hunter Brood Mares, required a contribution of £155 14s. 6d. in 1892, as against £112 4s. 6d. in the preceding year. EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 233 The regular receipts have in all cases been maintained, and Increase of it is gratifying and significant to note that while the Annual Subscrip- subscriptions have increased on the previous year by £81 18s., *'^°^^- the arrears of subscriptions, with the larger Membership, are £18 18s. below those of 1891. The Council at their last meeting considered the question Record, of the last date of entry for Vol. V., and decided that, as 250 ^°^* ^• entries are requisite to enable them to issue a volume, the last date of entry shall be kept open till such number is received. The Secretary will then intimate this fact to the Members, and to those who have sent in entries for Vol. V., to enable them to add any further details that they may desire incorporated in the particulars already sent. All who have animals eligible are invited to register them so as to ensure the early issue of Vol. V. The conditions of entry for the Eecord are well known to Registra- Members, but the Council would direct their special attention Hunter to those regulating the registry of Hunter Sires : — Hires. A Half-bred Stallion may be accepted for registry as a Hunter Sire on following conditions ''•' : — (1) Provided he has won races under Jockey Chib rules, or open races iinder Grand National Rules ; or {•2) Provided his only half-bred strain comes directly through an ancestor which has won races under Jockey Club rules, or open races under Grand National rules ; or (3) Provided his onli/ half-bred strain comes directly through a stallion that has sired, or through a mare that has bred, winners of races under Jockey Club rules, or openracesunder Grand National rules. At the present Show a class has been instituted for Stallions 1S93 Show, complying with these conditions, and three entries have been sent in for exhibition, and, if approved by the Judges and passed sound by the Society's Veterinary Inspector, will receive the Society's Silver Medal ; and it may be added that Mares with produce by the Society's registered Sires will be allowed to compete at the Country Shows for the Society's Gold Medal. The Society has again followed the lines, laid down at the last Show, of offering Premiums to young stock — Mares up to * For Stallions so registered see pages 1 to 14. 234 EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

The successful competitors had the choice of a Gold Medal 01" £5 and a Bronze Medal, and twelve chose the former, while fifteen preferred the latter award. At the Bath Horse Show no award was made, as the first, second, third and Eeserve Mares were all debarred by reason of their previous wins of the Hunters' Improvement Society's Medals and Premiums. From the same cause, the Medal at seven of the Shows went to the second Mare ; at two it was awarded to the third in order of merit ; while in one instance the Reserve animal was the recipient of the Society's medal. The total cost to the Society of the 1892 scheme was £150 2s. , During the current year the Council have decided to offer 2393 Medals for the best Hunter Brood Mare, in foal to or with Shows. 236 EIC4HTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

Record of the year. foal at foot by a Thoroughbred Horse or Registered Sire, at Shows where £25 is given for the Brood Mares ; and it is estimated that the Premiums and Medals to be awarded will amount to £190. The number of Societies intimating their wish to co-operate already exceeds fifteen,* although the last date for receiving applications is April 1st. The office of President during the current year will be filled by Captain W. H. Fife, who has been associated with the Society since its formation, and has taken an active part in promoting the objects for which it was established. As Vice- President for 1893 {i.e. President in 1894), the Council desire to nominate Colonel J. F. Hoenby, of Northmoor, Dulverton, who, as Vice-Chairman of the Horse Show Committee, has taken a deep interest in the direction and management of the Society's Shows. In presenting this report for the adoption of the Members, the Council would point out that the record of the Society's work during 1892 compares favourably with its efforts in the past. They have drawn up, after careful consideration and discussion, approved rules for the registration and exhibition of Hunter Sires, not thoroughbred, but containing only a remote strain ; they have awarded valuable Premiums to Hunter Brood Mares and young stock at the Society's Shows and in the country, thus ofi'ering every inducement to the tenant farmer to breed good stock ; and they have issued another volume of the Eecord, thereby encouraging breeders to register and keep a correct record of the pedigrees of their Hunting Stock. Members can assist the Council in the maintenance and extension of these practical benefits by inducing their friends to become subscribers to the Hunters' Improvement Society. By order of the Council, A. B. CHARLTON. February, 1893. Thirty-four Societies received Medals in 1893. (See page 243. liJ CO :£i CD O O O »i5 IC cr.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS HELD IN THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOWYARD, ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21st, 1893. Members. The Council have again the pleasure of reporting a gratifying increase to the list of Members since they presented their report in the Warwick Show Yard. The number is now 982 : — 1 Honorary IMember 861 Annual Members 84 Life jMembers .36 Life Lady Members Total . . 982 as compared with last year's total of 890, or a net increase of 92. The Society's Membership has alwaj's evinced a steady progress, as is^shown by the subjoined figures presented at the General Meetings, held in June of the respective years : — 1888 1889 1890 1891 1892 1893 547 619 760 840 890 982 At the same time the Council are of opinion that the Society is not as well supported as it should be, that many who benefit directly and indirectly by its work do not sub- scribe, and that instead of their return of Members standing at 982, it should be not less than 2000. GENERAL MEETING AT CHESTER. 241 The Council, desii'ing to enlist the sympathies of hunting men, have resolved that an Honorary Corresponding Member shall be appointed in each Hunt in the United Kingdom, who shall make known the objects of the Society, and shall use his best endeavours to obtain new Members in his particular district. But, after all, the efforts of individual Members have the most direct and beneficial effect to the Society, and this report embodying the proposals to hold a separate Show with the Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding — essentially a Show having as its main object the improvement and promotion of the Breed of Hunters, should act as an incentive to all Members to endeavour to obtain even one new Subscriber, as such additions would soon double the present Membership. The Council have invested the sum of £500 of the Society's The Funds in 2f per cent. Consolidated Stock, and as the first punds. contribution to the Eeserve Fund, the Council may well con- gratulate the Society on its growing financial prosperity, having special regard to the large sum in Premiums and Medals annually offered in London and at the Country Shows. A sum of £200 is also on deposit, while £239 was, on May 24th, standing to the credit of the Society's current account. Some measure of this satisfactory condition is due to the The recent financial result of the last Show at the Eoyal Agricultural g^ow Hall. Increased receipts in the Grand Stands, Catalogue Sales, and in the " Gate," reduced the expenditure on the 1893 Show to £429 7s. 6d., as compared with £557 7s. 2d. in 1892. But the increasing entries and Members of both the Future „ . . 1 T Spring Hackney and Hunters' Improvement Societies have so taxed shows. the accommodation at the disposal of the Joint Show Com- mittee that on the conclusion of the recent Show it was felt that some change in the arrangements was inevitable. The whole question was therefore discussed ; firstly by the 242 GENERAL MEETING AT CHESTER. Joint Show Committee, composed of Members of the Horse Show Committees of the respective Councils, and under whose direction the administration of the nine combined Shows has been harmoniously and successfully conducted ; and secondly, by each Council, and it was the unanimous feeling that there were but practically two courses : — That the two Societies should hold their Show without the Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding, or the Hunters' Improvement Society should withdraw from the combined Show, and invite the Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding to offer the Queen's Premiums at a Show in the following week, A Sub-Committee was therefore appointed to investigate the whole question, and their report, presented and unani- mously adopted at a Special Council Meeting, on May 11th, was briefly : — " That the Royal Commissiou on Horse-Breeding had favourably considered their proposals to offer the Queen's Premiums at a Show of the Hunters' Improvement Society to be held in March, 1894 ; that satis- factory arrangements had been made with the Royal Agricultural Hall Company for holding such Show in the week following the Hackney Horse Society's Show, and that the Shire Horse Society and Hackney Horse Society, consequent on these arrangements, had consented to liberate the Hunters' Improvement Society from the existing agreement for holding the Shows." The thanks of the Society are therefore due to the Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding, the two Societies and the Eoyal Agricultural Hall Company for the courtesy with which their representations were received and considered, and to the Members of the Sub-Committee — Major-General Fryer, Sir Walter Gilbey, Bart., Mr. Tanqueray, and Mr. Withers —to whose endeavours the successful issue of the negotiations is due. The exigencies of the case necessitate the choice of the second alternative, and though the immediate effect of holding a separate Show will be to increase the expenditure on the Annual Shows, the Council feel assured that the Society, by the establishment of its own Show, has laid the foundation of a prosperous and useful future. GENEBAL MEETING AT CHESTER. 243 To meet the extra expense entailed, the Council would make a Special Appeal to all Members to assist them in obtaining new Subscribers. On page 276 a brief summary of the Society's past work is given with a form of Membership, which it is hoped will be shortly returned to the Secretary filled up by a Candidate for election. The last date of entry for Vol. V. has been definitely fixed Record of for Monday, July 31st, and after that date the preparation of Mares and the Volume will be actively pushed forward, and it should Sires. appear by the end of the year. Members are earnestly desired to aid the Editing Committee in the compilation of this book by making entries at once. The Society's Gold Medals offered for Hunter Brood Mares, Medals at in foal to or with foals at foot by Thoroughbred Stallions, or c;i°q^^. , registered Hunter Sires, have been applied for and granted to thirty-four Societies : — Abergavenny Horse Show.

The Society's Gold Medal will in 1894 be offered under the followiDg conditions : — (1) At all Agricultural Shows or Horse Shows (which become Annual Members of the Hunters' Improvement Society), held in the United Kingdom in 189i, where k25 is given in prizes to Brood Mares in Hunter Classes, a Gold Medal, or, if preferred, a Bronze Medal and £5, may be given to the best Brood Mare, in foal to or witli foal at foot by a Thoroughbred Horse, or Registered Hunter Sire. (2) ]Mares which have previously been awarded the Society's Medal, and ]\Iares which have previously won a Hunters' Improvement Society's Premium as a Brood !Mare to be ineligible for this Medal. (3) In the event of the Medal being awarded to a Mare, entered as ■' in foal to a Thoroughbred Horse, or Registered Hunter Sire," the Society shall not forward the Medal till a Certificate of foaling has been lodged with the Secretary. (4) If any of the Prize Mares are disqualified owing to their having previously won the Hunters' Improvement Society's Medal or Premiums, it shall then be awarded to the next in order, provided she takes one of the Prizes or First Reserve. In response to the invitation of the Eoyal Agricultural Society, two Eepresentatives of the Society — Dr. Bond and Major- General Fryer — attended the Deputation to the Eailway Clearing House on May 11th, asking the Eailway Companies to revert to the old system of free conveyance for men travelling in charge of Live Stock to and from Agricultural Shows. The result was most satisfactory, as the Eailway Managers conceded the point asked for, and stated that the old arrangement would be restored, this decision taking immediate effect.

CHARLTON, 11, Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London, E. THE HUNTERS' IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY Was established to improve and encourage the breeding of Horses for Hunting, Eiding, Driving and Military purposes, and the Council would specially draw attention to the following brief record of its work : — 1. — Service Premiuins for Thoroughbred Stallions. As pioneer in the movement for the encouragement of Horse-breeding, the Society, in 1885, inaugurated the system of giving Sei-vice Premiums for Thoroughbred StaUions, which has resulted in no less a sum than £32,450 being so awarded. 2.— Hunter Brood Mares and Young Stock. The claims of the Hunter Brood Mares and their produce have received full recognition, as Premiums valued at £2500 have been awarded in London and, latterly (with a view to obviating the risk and danger to Brood Mares travelling in the spring) at the summer local shows. THIRTY-POUR Societies offered the Gold Medal this summer. 3.— Hunter Sires. The Council has registered the pedigrees and permits the exhibition of Stallions, not thoroughbred, but with only a remote strain, in compliance with approved rules, whose entries will be of interest to Hunter Breeders. 4.— Registration of Pedigrees. With a view to inducing tenant farmers and breeders to keep a record of the pedigrees of their mares and young stock, the Society has published four Volumes of the Record of Hunter Mares and Sires, containing the registry of 673 ]\Iares, while the current book contains the entries of 13 Hunter Stallions and 303 Hunter Mares and Fillies. 5.— Influence of the Society. The Society may well claim its share in the present revival of Horse-breeding in the country, and its influence may be discerned in many districts where the prizes for Hunter Brood Mares have been doubled to obtain the Society's Gold Medal. 6. — Future Spring Shows. The increasing entries at the London Shows, held since 1885 in conjunction with the Hackney Horse Society, so taxed the accommodation at the recent show, not only for the exhibits but for the members and public, that it was felt some change was inevitable. It was decided that the Hunters' Improvement Society should hold a separate show, and, on the invitation of the Council, the Royal Commission on Horse-breeding have favourably considered the proposal to there offer the Queen's Premiums for Thoroughbred Stallions. In 189-4, thp: Hunters' Improvement Society therefore holds a show of its own, having as its primary object the promotion and encouragement of the breeding of Hunters. To meet the call on the Society's funds which this new departure demands, the Council wish to make a special appeal to Members. That they will bring the Society's past work and future aims before ladies and gentlemen interested in the object for which it was established, and to Non-members. That they will become subscribers and thus aid the Council to extend its scope of utility. The Society now numbers nearly 1000 Members. Members of the Hunters' Improvement Society have the following privileges : — 1. Free admission to the Annual Sbow and Grand Stand. •i. Making Entries for the Annual Show at Half rates. 3. A free copy of the record of Mares and Sires issued periodically by the Society, and the purchase of extra or back volumes at reduced rates. 4. Half rates for making Entries in the Record of Mares and Sires. Life Lady Members receive free admission to the Annual Show and Grand Stand, and may purchase any volume of the Record of Mares and Sires at Members Rates. Form for Nomination of New Member.
