628 Beport of the Senior Steward of Live-Stock at Nottingham. 
Peize pen CDuke of Riclitnond and Gordon), possibly the smallest sheep 
iu the Class, were notwithstanding such perfect specimens of the Southdown 
type, and altogether of such sweet feminine character, that we could not do 
otherwise than award them the premier position. The Second (Mr. J. J. 
Colman) and Third (Mr. Edwin Ellis) prize pens had not much to choose 
between them, the whole ten being beautiful ewes. 
We desire to express our opinion that on this occasion the females were 
far away better than the males.

Short-woolled Sheep. 
[Classes 133 to 136, 137 to 140, 141 to 143.] 
Class 133. Hampshire Two-shear licnns.— The First Prize winner (Mr. 
Henry Lambert) : a good heavy sheep, with good wool and quality. The 
Second Prize (Messrs. C. and T. Coles): useful, but hardly well enough 
covered, and not quite good behind. Third Prize (Mr. Frank R. Moore) : 
a short sheep, not good iu wool. 
Class 134. Shearlinf/ Bams. — First Prize (Mr. Henry Lambert) : deep, 
but has the fault of all the Class in being light in leg. Second Prize (Mr. 
Frank 11. Moore) : long and kind, but might be covered better ; good 
coat. Third Prize (Mr. Robert Coles's Youni/ Victor), a useful slieop, but 
light in thighs. Reserve (Messrs. C. aud T. Coles) : best back in the Class ; 
lacks size, and has a bad dock. 
Class 135. Ham Lambs. — Class fairly represented, but in each lot, two 
out of the pens were far better than the other, which somewhat spoiled the 
Class. 
Class 13G. Shearlinij Eu-cs. — Three first pens very good. First pen (Mr. 
H. Perry Keene) : two ewes, rather dark rouud the ears, very good bodies. 
Second pen a trifle short. 
Class 137. Suffolk Two-shear Hams. — A fairly represented Class. 
No. 1693 was disqualified because, in our opinion, he was suflering from 
hereditary disease. 
Class 138. Shearlim/ Sams. — First Prize winner (Marquis of Bristol's 
Van Tramp 5l.h), a very nice sheep, with good quality and wool ; we think 
the wool in this Class should be more free from grey. 
Class 13'J. Jiain Lambs. — A good Class. First Prize (Marquis of 
Bristol), will grow into a grand .sheep. The best lamb iu the Class was in 
the reserve pen (Earl of Ellesmere.) 
Class 140. Shearling Ewes. — First Prize pen (Marquis of lyrist ol), nice 
quality, but badly covered. Second Prize lot (Mr. Joseph Smith), plenty of 
size, but one had a very bad coat.

Report of the Judye of Lincolnshire Long Wool. 
[Classes 144 and 145.] 
I have to report that the whole of the fleeces shown in Classes 144 and 
145 were of the true lustre type, very well bred, and well handled. 
Of the he-hog wools, lots 1730 (Mr. George Marrie) and 1733 (Sir J. H. 1 
Thorold, Bart.) were all strong and sound, but the she-hog wools, 1734
