The Horse Show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington: Mr. W. Armstrong's hunter, "Cashier", 1874. 'The leaping feats of the last two days, the Thursday and Friday, attracted a large number of spectators. The judges of the different classes were the Marquis of Waterford, the Earl of Shannon, Sir G. Wombwell, Bart., Colonel Luttrell, Colonel Kingscote, C.B., M.P., and Colonel Ashley Maude, M.P. These gentlemen had to decide upon the merits of weight-carrying and other hunters, riding-horses, cover hacks and roadsters, park hacks and ladies' horses, harness horses, park cobs, ponies, stallions (roadsters or trotters), and to determine the best tandem and the best four-in-hand, besides selecting the best of Arab, foreign, or colonial horses...Mr. W. Armstrong, of Fairfield, Kendal, showed the best hunter in the exhibition - namely, "Cashier"- which thereby won the first prize of £50 in Class III., four-year-old hunters, with the Agricultural Hall cup for the best of all hunters'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
