Prize horses at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Prize horses at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, 1864. 'President Junior (No. 1)...is shortly to receive its eighteenth prize-medal...He is a very beautiful bay, with wonderful action, nine years old, and bred by Mr. Mewburn, and is now the property of Mr. Thomas Brown...Asterisk (No. 2), the property of Mr. M. S. Ashwell...was second as a four-year-old, at Battersea...The catalogue describes him as having "started fifty-three times and won forty-eight," and the present is, we believe, the fourth time that he has been successful in the ring. Mrs. Harriet Turnbull's silver-white Arab, "Opal " (No. 3), of the pure Nidjed breed...was brought over from the Bengal Presidency by Mrs. Turnbull in the July of 1862, and has been ridden by her ever since. Seven years ago he was trained as a four-year-old for the Calcutta Derby...Mr. Samuel Gale's dark brown horse "Rural Dean" (No. 4), not a very handsome, but a very sweet-tempered, raking horse, and measuring about sixteen hands and half an inch. This is his fifth prize in the show yard...His rider accompanied him to Islington, and distinguished himself highly not only by the style in which he sent him out round the ring before the bench, but by putting him over the hurdles on the following day'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
