230 The Norwich Show, 1911. 



Class 273 were of good type. The second prize lot were 

 even lambs with good wool. The winners in Class 274 

 were vei*y even sheep with good wool and plenty of bone 

 in the fore legs. The second prize ones were even, but 

 short of bone. In the third prize pen there were two very 

 good ones, but the other was not so good. The first prize 

 winners in Class 275 were lambs of good type and wool. The 

 second prize lambs were even in wool and of good character. 

 The Champion ram, Mr. Quested's first prize winner in 

 Class 271, was the best fleeced Kent ram the Judges had ever 

 had before them. The Keserve ram was a two-shear of very 

 symmetrical form, with a good fleece, but had not nearly such 

 good wool as the Champion. 



Cotswolds. — With thirty-five entries and no absentees, this 

 breed was better represented than usual. The exhibits were 

 good specimens, the first prize shearling ram and the first prize 

 pen of shearling ewes being particularly so. The lambs — both 

 ram and ewe — were well grown and promised well for the future. 



Devon Long-Wools. — The twelve sheep entered were all 

 present, and competed in the three classes provided. The 

 quality in every case was such as to merit and receive a prize 

 or minor card. Perhaps the ram classes were, on the whole, 

 the strongest and more uniform in quality, whilst the first 

 prize pen of ewes were evenly matched and well shown. 



South Devon s. — There was only one animal shown in Class 

 283 (old rams), a very useful sheep, for which the first prize 

 was awarded to Mr. Stooke. In Class 284 (shearling rams) the 

 first prize fell to Mr. Hoskin for a fleshy sheep with nice curly 

 wool and rather small bone. The second prize was awarded to 

 Mr. Stooke for a ram with good wool and plenty of bone, and 

 rather small face. Only two entries were made in Class 285 

 (three ram lambs). The first prize went to Mr. Stooke for 

 a grand pen that should make big sheep. Mr. Hoskin was 

 awarded the second prize for a very nice pen not so heavy in 

 their wool. A very even and typical pen of shearling ewes, 

 with good curly coats, secured the first prize in Class 286. An 

 excellent pen of ewe lambs, with plenty of wool and well 

 covered over the head, were awarded the first prize in Class 287. 



Dartmoors. — These sheep were shown more in uniformity 

 as to colour than at previous Shows. In Class 2d>^ (rams, two- 

 shear and upwards) there were only three exhibits, but all very 

 good specimens of the breed. Shearling rams were a good class 

 of nine, and most of them of good wool and well fleshed. There 

 were only two competitors in Class 290 (three shearling ewes), 

 but they were the best the Judge ever saw of th^i breed. 



Exmoors. — The three classes allotted to this breed had five 

 entries in each, and the exhibits were all typical specimens with
