222 O*er Crag and Torrent 



At the single lane she experienced some 

 difficulty, and likewise at the parallel lanes, 

 but she succeeded in penning her sheep in 

 nine and a half minutes a very smart per- 

 formance. "Moss," the second prize-winner, 

 was an equally clever, patient, and steady 

 worker, but he was handicapped with three 

 very wild sheep ; nevertheless, he got them 

 through the various obstacles meritoriously, 

 though at the parallel lanes he experienced 

 tremendous difficulty, and it proved what a 

 patient, beautifully broken dog he was. He 

 finally penned his sheep at the extreme limit 

 of his time. The third prize-winner was 

 also an extremely clever dog, with rather 

 a refractory trio to deal with. Had it not 

 been for the wild nature of the sheep, he 

 might have penned the sheep in less time 

 than Moss, but he was not so patient in 

 working, and the result was that the time 

 expired just as the last sheep entered the pen.
