Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Norwich. 701 
His place was ably filled by Mr. J. Pears, Mr. R. Wright, 
Mr. H. Dudding and Mr. T. Casswell, who contributed 5, 7, 
7, and 2 entries respectively, to the total of 21, in competition 
for the eight prizes offered. The Shearling Ewes especially 
called for notice on account of their great excellence. 
Other Long-Woolled Breeds. 
In this division the " Devon Long-wools " took all the prizes 
but one, a second only being awarded to ^Ir. J. Hough's pen
