Damsel was a prizetakcr at various shows in Otago and Southland. Polly was also the dam of the champion horse Hard Times, and was first at the Southland A. and P. Show as brood mare with foal at foot, while his sire Crown Prince is admittedly one of the best draught entires in the country. Lord Salisbury was never beaten in the Show ring, taking eight first prizes and seven Champion prizes in the colony, and seven first prizes in the Old Oountry, including Glasgow, Liverpool, and Edin burgh. Damsel took four first prizes, two Champions, and four Champion prizes for either sex.
