360 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Warwick. 
22 aged rams, and 12 pens of shearling ewes of 5 each ; of these 
the judges especially noticed 7 of the shearling rams, and gene- 
rally commended the aged ram and shearling ewe classes. These 
are striking illustrations in support of the late request for their 
being recognized as an " established breed." 
Class I. — Shearling Rams : 43 entries. — The first prize was 
awarded to No. 1049, the property of Mr. John Coxon, of Free- 
ford Farm, Lichfield. This was an excellent specimen of the 
breed, and the robustness of his form may be best illustrated by 
giving his girth, viz., 4 ft. 7 in. The second prize sheep, the 
property of Mr. Henry Sheldon, Brailes House, Shipston-on-Stour, 
girthed 4 ft. 3 in. The third prize was awarded to Mr. Thomas 
Horley, jun., of the Foss, Leamington. Messrs. James and 
Edward Crane's sheep. No. 1047, and Mr. J. Coxon's sheep, 
No. 1050, were highly commended. Mr. T. Mansell's and Mr. 
P. W. Bowen's were commended. It would indeed be improper 
to single out any special specimens beyond those noticed by the 
judges, but this much may be said of the class generally, that 
they were a first-rate lot of sliearlings. 
Class IL — Ar/ed Rams: 22 entries. — This was indeed a 
splendid class of sheep, and went far to show the capabilities of 
the breed when fully developed. The prizes were awarded, 
first, to Mrs. Baker, of Grendon, Atherstone ; the second to 
Messrs. J. and C. Crane, of Shrawardine ; and the third to Mr. 
George Adney, Harley, near Much Wenlock. The judges also 
highly commended Mr. T. Horley's, Mr. J. Coxon's, and Mr. 
C. W. Thacker's sheep. The Earl of Dartmouth's, No. 1091, 
was commended ; the class also was generally commended. The 
respective girths of the three winners stood thus : 5 ft., 5 ft. 
3 in., and 4 ft. 10 in. 
Class III. — Pens of 5 Thcaves : 12 entries. — In this class we 
had again some capital animals ; these prizes were more closely 
contested, and, as each sort had its admirers, they were constantly 
surrounded by the public. Mr. Holland's prize ewes were well 
up in their forms, but rather too weak (by com])arison) in their 
necks. The Messrs. Crane's second prize theaves were truly 
beautiful ; Mr. Horley's pen, No. 1112, was highly commended: 
these were excellent specimens. The class generally was com- 
mended by the judges. 
PlUZES OFFERED FOR BERKSHIRE PiGS. 
Class I. — Boars of any Age: 14 competitors. — This class 
I)rought together specimens from eight of the principal breeders 
of this class of pig, and resulted in the class being generally 
highly commended by the judges; this commendation pronounces 
a high opinion upon the breed which the public appeared to
