564 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Newcastle. 
prize went to Mr. John Pears for a pen of big, well-grown 
lambs, scarcely so perfect in form, got by a grandson of 
Mr. Wright's first-prize two-shear ram at the last Royal Show 
at York. 
There were five entries of Shearling Ewes, in pens of five, but 
only two appeared. These had a close contest, and amongst the 
onlookers there was considerable difference of opinion as to the 
relative claims of the two pens to the leading position. Mr. H. 
Dudding's first pen of ewes are wide in the rib, and well shaped,, 
but they are scarcely so true to the Lincoln type as Mr. Wright's 
second pen. 
Other Long-woolled Sheep. 
In three fairly well-filled Classes, there were nineteen entries 
of other Long-woolled Sheep, not qualified to compete as Leices- 
ters, Lincolns, or Cots wolds. Nine of these were Wensleydale 
Long-wools, eight Devon Long-wools, one described as a Cleve- 
land Long-wool, and another as a Masham sheep. 
Mr. John Heugh, of Mudd Fields, Bedale, Yorkshire, got the 
second prize for a pen of lengthy, useful-looking Wensleydale 
Shearling Ewes, All the other five prizes went to exhibitors of 
Devon Long-wools. Sir John H. Heathcoat-Amory, Bart, who 
owns the premier flock of these useful sheep, took the lion's share 
of the honours. In the Two-shear Ram Class, both prizes went 
to him for thick, well-shaped, well-furnished sheep. Mr. A. C. 
Skinner was victorious in the Shearling Ram Class with a very 
good, well-ribbed sheep. 
Sir John Heathcoat-Amory won, in the Class for Shearling 
Ewes, with a pen of handsome sheep, of good quality, approach- 
ing the Leicester type — the only Devon pen in the class. 
The Long-woolled breeds of sheep were all judged by one set 
of Judges, whose report may here be conveniently introduced.
