Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Neiocastle, 565 
Class 130. — A fair Class, the first prize-animal being a particularly good 
sheep. 
Class 131. — A good Class, and here again the first-prize animal was a 
very good one. 
Class 132. — Four fair pens of Earn Lambs. 
Class 133. — Out of 5 entries only two arrived, but these were both of 
good quality. 
Otueb Long-woolled Breeds. 
Class 134 contained 2 entries of Devon Long-wools, the remainder being 
Wensleydale. The Devon Long-wools took first and 2nd prizes, and the 
Wensleydale entries contained some good specimens of that breed. 
Class 135. — The Devon Long-wools were again successful in this class. 
Class 130 contained 1 pen of Devon Lomj-ivools of jjarticularly good 
quality, and 2 pens of good specimens of the Wensleydale. The Devon 
Long-wools were deservedly placed first,

Oxfordshire Downs. 
In merit, if not in numbers, the Oxford Downs were excep- 
tionally well represented. There were twenty-nine entries in 
the four Classes, and especially in that of Shearling Rams 
there was remarkably high merit. Only a pair of Two-shear 
Rams were entered, but both were very good representatives of 
the breed. Mr. John Treadwell's first-prize ram, " Young 
Baron Oxford," is a handsome sheep, of good size, and true to 
Mr, Treadwell's famous type. Mr. Milton Druce's second ram, 
" Confusion," is a big, good ram, of desirable quality. 
In the Class of Shearling Rams there were fourteen rams, and 
it may be doubted if a better class of the breed has ever been 
seen in a Royal Show. Mr. John Treadwell, therefore, accom- 
plished a great feat in carrying off the four highest tickets, all 
with typical rams of his own breeding. Mr. Treadwell has 
brought out many capital Oxford Down rams, but we are not sure 
that he has ever shown a better than the first winner here — 
" Royal Jubilee No. 82," a big, handsome sheep, of grand form, 
character, and quality. Some would say that his face is on the 
small side ; but there is little there, or in any other part, for 
which he could be seriously faulted. Like all the others, he 
was bred by Mr, Treadwell, got by " Royal Preston," and 
won the Champion Prize over all other breeds at the Reading 
Show. 
Ram Lambs were fairly good. Mr. Milton Druce took the 
lead with a pen of well-formed, promising lambs ; the " reserve " 
going to an almost equally good pen from the same flock. The 
second prize went to Mr. G. Adams for a pen of neat, well- 
shaped lambs in high condition. 
The Class of Shearling Ewes was small, but of high merit.
