566 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Liverpool. 
is also of good quality, and carries his mutton better than any 
of his opponents. Mr. J. J. Godwin's second ram has magni- 
ficent wool, and is all over a stylish good useful ram, not quite 
so firm under the hand as the first. Mr. Brown's commended 
rams are heavy well brought -out specimens. Mr. Russell 
Swan wick's commended shearling is handsome, and handles 
fairly. His two-shear rams, which were invincible at Bath, 
were beaten here. The third one was first at Bath, and is a very 
level well-furnished ram, of rare quality and nice character ; his 
skin is not so good. Mr. Samuel Smith was lucky in getting 
first with his big useful-looking specimen bred bv himself. 
This ram has great length, but it did not appear to me that he 
carries his mutton so well as Mr. J. J. Godwin's second : the 
latter animal is very gay and symmetrical, with well-turned ribs 
and nice quality of mutton. Mr. Gillet's successful gimmers at 
Bath were beaten at the Royal. His third pen were first there ; 
they have more family likeness perhaps than the others, and 
their skins match. Mr. Robert Jacob's first gimmers are good 
along the back ; their mutton is all right, if their skins only 
harmonised better. Mr. Godwin's second pen look like making 
good ewes. 
The Judges report thus : — 
Class 104. — Are well represented as to numbers, and of fair average 
quality. 
Class 105. — The entries are not so numerous as Class 104, but the prize 
animals are very good, and the class generally is commended. 
Class 106 contains five entries, and are fair representatives of the breed.

Lincolns. — These heavy mutton and wool growers were in 
good form. The Judges, it will be seen, allude to overfeeding 
displayed by some of the Lincolns. Several of the lots were 
in very high condition. The shearling ram class was a very 
strong one. Mr. Garfit has credit in taking first and second 
in such company, with a pair of wonderfully well brought-out 
rams of his own breeding. The first one handles very satis- 
factorily, and has a good front ; though in the gigot the second 
one has the best of it, and he has an immense fleece too. Mr. 
Thomas Cartwright's third ram has a gay front and stylish gait, 
with good rib and wealthy middle. On the rump, or near the 
tail, he is not so good as could be wished. Mr. Wright's fourth 
sheep is a very thick well brought-out animal. The Messrs. 
Dudding's Lincolns did not handle quite so well as usual, and so 
were less successful than they commonly are. Mr. Henry Smith's 
first-prize aged ram has extraordinary rump development, with
