HORSES.

In blood stock entiioi, Mr RHD Fergusson secured first pn^e with Feve, a handsome chestuut about 16 hands high. Mr Leqdruin's Paciii", a bay with very good , points, took seooad prize against Ake.Akio, a lino looking sire belonging to Mr 0 McGee, bub which was considered to lack blood. There being onJv one entry each in classes 3 and 4, no awards were made. In class 5, Simplicity, a mare ot Mr MoCSee's, was awarded fiist prize ; and Minnie Athol, with foal at foot by Pacific, second prize. In the clasa for fillies, Mr Lennard received a second pnzj fur an offspring of Minnio Atbol's but no fiiht prizo was awarded in the oluss (6 ) J u entire readaters, Young Performer was exhibited also, a powerful hone by iStonewail Jackson, but no prize was iwarded. In class 10, a good looking black mure of Mr A Buokl.nd'i deservedly received first prize; Mr Mition's rmro being second.

With regard to the hunteis, if those exhibited are a sample of our •tock, we have not niucb to boast about. Cookie, as a weight carrier, and > v hatnrock were the best ol the clais. Thore was no competition with the first, and he, of course, "secured the honour. Shainiook, through his Derby strain of blood in him, was also entitled to hrst prize. Both showed well in their trial jumps, but proved tru- to his name, For the extra unze of £5 given by the block Importation Company, (or the best colt or filly yearling by Sfoung Pi rlormer, nine compoted. The majority appeared to be neither ponios nor horses, with neither beauty, make, bhnpe, or anything el«e la recommend them. In draught stock entries, Mr O MeG-re, received first prize, with Champion, a well proportioned bay, riling 5 yeara.
