not a plain sheep among them. In Class 291, for rams two- 

 shear and upwards, the first prize winner had good bone and 

 splendid wool, and should sire some useful stock. The 

 second prize sheep was rather small, but of the right type. 

 The third prize ram was a good sheep, but, in the Judge's 

 opinion, his wool was too long. The shearling rams were a 

 good class, the first, Broford Model, being a grand young ram 

 that will take a lot of beating if he develops into the sort of 

 sheep that the Judge thinks he will. In the shearling ewe 

 class it was difficult to decide which was the best, there being 

 very little difference between the first and second pens. They 

 had each won a prize this year when shown together at the 

 Devon County and Bath and West Shows. The third prize pen 

 had the hardest wool, but they had rather poor heads. The 

 breed of Exmoor Horn sheep has improved wonderfully since 

 the formation of the Exmoor Sheep Breeders' Society about 

 five years ago. 



Cheviots. — Class 294 (ram, two-shear and upwards) had in 

 the first prize winner a fine upstanding sheep, a splendid 

 mover, with a good coat. The second was a nice gay sheep 

 with a good head, but not so big as the first. In Class 295 

 (shearling rams), a stylish sheep, with a nice head and good 

 skin, was first, and the second was a sheep moving on good legs 

 but showing small horns. A very good ewe, with a grand 

 Cheviot head and splendid skin, took first prize in Class 296 

 (shearling ewes) ; a good big ewe, and a grand handler with 

 a good skin, being second. 



Welsh Mountain. — Four animals competed in Class 299 

 (rams), all of them being good sheep and possessing the 

 true character and type of the breed. The first prize ram was 

 exceptionally well proportioned, and a thick animal with a 

 fairly good coat. The second prize was awarded to a yearling 

 of excellent promise, a deep thick-set ram with a good coat. 

 He will no doubt be heard of in the future. The third prize 

 went to a well coated two-year-old. In Class 300 (yearling 

 ewes), there were five lots competing, the first prize pen being 

 three beautiful ewes with thick coats. The second prize pen 

 were ewes of great merit and true to type, bat one of them was 

 not perfect in the coat, and they did not match so well. The 

 third prize pen contained ewes of good type and quality, but 

 somewhat deficient in form and character to the pens already 

 mentioned. 



Blickfaced Mountain. — In Class 301 (Rams, two-shear and 

 upwards) the first prize animal was a grand stamp of a 

 Blackfaced ram, but showing age a little. The second was a big 

 sheep with a good skin but not so well on his legs as the first 

 prize one. A good square sheep with a good head and
