The record for 1890 is remarkable in the feet that one breeder pre- 

 sented 7 rams whose united fleeces weighed 251 pounds and J ounce, 

 an average of 35 pounds 13f ounces each. The heaviest of the seven 

 fleeces was 38J pounds and the lightest was 34fg pounds. The heaviest 

 fleece shorn at this time was 41 pounds 6f ounces from a 3-year-old 

 ram, Chimes, the property of E.G. Harris. The details of this shearing 

 are presented in the following table :
