666 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884, 
winners in both classes of rams, the noted sheep " Duke of 
York " heading the two-shears. Mr. Turner, adhering most 
firmly to that illustration of the true Leicester type which the 
specimens from Thorplands always afford, exhibited in both 
classes sheep of beautiful character and unexceptionable sym- 
metry, not on the largest scale, but thick and good throughout ; 
and in the Shearling Class obtained the third prize, which does 
not appear in the Catalogue, but is offered in the prize-sheet, 
on the condition that six persons exhibit in the class. This 
condition applies to all classes of sheep for which no third prize 
is specially allotted ; and in the Class of Shearling Leicester 
Rams, as we have already seen, all the six exhibitors had 
entries. Mr. Turner had also the reserve in the Two-shear 
Class, Mr. Green that in the Shearling Class. Mr. Jordan's two 
admirable pens of ewes were first and second ; but they had 
worthy rivals in Mrs. Perry Herrick's two pens, and in the one 
pen exhibited by Mr. Harrison. 
COTSWOLDS. 
Two-shear Rams, 6 entries, two absent ; Shearling Rams, 
9 entries, one absent ; and Pens of Ewes, 3 entries, one absent ; 
made up the little show of Cotswolds, good as far as it went. 
The Two-shear Ram Class contained two noticeably good 
sheep, the Shearling Class scarcely one which was not notice- 
ably good, and both Pens of Ewes contained animals of suffi- 
ciently high merit, and sufficiently well matched, to be accounted 
good pens. All the first prizes, one second prize, and one 
commendation, were awarded to sheep of the Signett Hill flock 
(Mr. Robert Jacobs'), Mr. T, and S. G. Gillett's grand two-shear 
ram and pen of ewes taking second prize, and one of Mr. 
Godwin's entries having a reserve and commendation. The 
ages of Cotswolds usually date a month or two earlier than 
those of other Long-wool breeds. 
LiNCOLNS. 
The three Classes contained 20 entries — 5 of Two-shear Rams, 
11 of Shearling Rams, and 4 of Ewes. One two-shear and two 
shearling rams were absent. Messrs. Smith, Dudding, Pears 
and Roe were the only exhibitors. Two of the three first 
prizes, those for rams, went to the entries of Mr. Smith, that for 
ewes to the pen of Mr. Pears ; the second prizes to the sheep 
of Messrs. Dudding, Pears, and Roe ; the reserves to those 
of Messrs. Smith, Dudding, and Pears ; and a commendation to 
Mr. Roe's ewes ; so that each had a share of the honours. 
Although the smallest in number of entries, the Class of Ewes
