The undersigned, two of the Committee appointed to 

 judge on Fine Wooled Siicep, iiave completed the labor 

 assigned to tiic whole; (Mr. Hart being a competitor could 

 not by the rule .serve, and tli;; other members of the com- 

 jnittee were not present.) Your Committee proceeded by 

 examing the sheep in tlie pens. The first pen was No. 

 244, and on until all were carefully and thoroughly exami- 

 ned, again and again. In awarding premiums your com- 



mittee did not judge from the fineness of the wool alone on 

 the sheep, but coupled the size of the animal in connection 

 \\ ith the build, so as to embrace all the properties the ani- 

 mal contained of the greatest amount of interest to the owner. 

 On the whole, your Committee would further report that 

 the exhibition of fine sheep was an improvement on ail pre- 

 ceding years — and believe that a very desirable impetus is 

 being had in propagating fine wool in our County,
