Rpport of the Judge of Dairy Cattle. 
[Classes 98 and 99.] 
OliASS 98 — CoxDS of the Shorthorn type — was well represented, the whole 
number of cows possessing excellent merits both as dairy cows, also for 
fattening purposes. I strongly recommended a Third Prize in this Class,' as 
the whole were an exceptionally good lot. 
Class 99. Heifers of any breed or cross under three years old. — The 
number forward in this Class was disappointing, but the quality was very 
good indeed. 
I would respectfully suggest that two Judges be appointed in future for 
these Classes, instead of one. 
Thomas Caeeick.

Sheep. 
Rej)ort of the Inspectors of Shearing. 
AVe have this morning (July 9) finished our inspection of Sheep-shearing 
at this Show. We have carefully gone over the very large number of sheep 
shown, and beg to report, with great satisfaction to ourselves, the continued 
improvement we find in all Classes. The appearance of some odd lots of 
the heavy-growing woolled-sheep — at first glance — drew our close attention 
to more minute examination, which proved to us that the whole of the sheep 
in the Yard have been shorn to the satisfaction of your Inspectors. We 
recommend the Council to pass the whole, and to make a clean sheet for 
1888. 
We did draw attention of some shepherds to some little faults we found, 
but not to such an extent as to warrant us to recommend disqualification in 
any one case.

{Classes 110 to 113), and Lincolns {Classes 114 to 117). 
Class 102. Leicester Tivo-shear Rams. — We consider the animals 
exhibited in this Class to be of exceptional merit. 
Class 105. Leicester Shearlinff Ewes. — All the Peize and Commended 
pens are of very great merit. 
Class 110. C'otswohl Tiro-shear Rams. — All good sheep. 
Class 111. Cotswold Shearling Rams. — A small but good Class, not 
equal to those entered in the preceding Class (llOj. 
Class 112. Cotsivold Ram Lamhs. — NVell-grown lambs, and very pro- 
mising. 
Oi,AR3 114. Lincoln Two-shear Rams. — A very good Class, the First 
Peize sheep being exceptionally good. 
Class 115. Lincoln Shearling Rams. — A very numerous Class — 3G 
sheep exhibited. The number of commendations (eiglit) shows our opinion 
of the high character of the Class. The merits of the prize-winners were 
very equally balanced, and were well worthy of the large prizes given.
