The Cotswolds were well represented, not only from their native district, 
but also from Norfolk. Wales also showed some very good specimens. 
In Class C2, there were about 40 entries, amongst which were very many 
good sheep, particularly the one belonging to Mr. lirown, which took the first 
prize. 
Class 63 was on the whole well represented, but not any particular speci- 
men. 
Class G4 was very good, the first and second prize of shearling ewes were of 
"very superior quality and sjMumctry ; also many more good specimens. 
Classes 65 and 66, very few entries, neither calling for any special remark. 
Class 67, only four entries. The prize sheep in this class was very good. 
TnOMAS PORTEE. 
LiNCOLNS, EyLANDS, AND OTHER LONG -WOOLS. 
Lincolns have, in former years, been classed with "other Long- 
wools not qualified to compete as Leicesters or Cotswolds," but 
at Oxford, for the first time, they stood on their own merits as a 
separate class. The entries were not so numerous as in some of 
the other classes, still there was a fair show. In the Shearling 
Ram class there were sixteen entries tolerably well representing 
their kind. Mr. Gunnell of Milton took the first prize, whilst 
Mr. Robert Wright of Nocton Heath monopolised the remaining 
honours, comprising second and third, as well as the reserve num- 
ber and high commendation. Ram of any Age, Class 69 — There 
were eleven entries, comprising several sheep of high character, 
Mr. Henry Dudding of Panton House carrying off first and second 
prizes, also the reserve number and high commendation — the third 
prize falling to Mr. VV. F. Marshall of Branston, Lincoln. In 
^^hearling Ewes, Class 70, there were but five entries, all of merit. 
Mr. Cartwright of Dunston Pillar took first and second prizes 
— the reserve number and commendation being awarded to Mr. 
John Pears of Mere-Branston, Lincoln. 
Rylaml and other Longwools not qualified to compete as 
Leicesters, Cotswolds, or Lincolns, furnished no entry in the 
Shearling Ram class. Ram of any other Age, Class 72— there 
were four entries ; Mr. John Lynn of Church Farm, Stroxton, took 
first prize, and Mr. J. T. Pinchey of Hardwick-Pembridge, Here- 
fordshire, second prize. In the Shearling Ewe class there was 
but one entry, and that pronounced well worthy of a prize. 
Eepokt on Lincoln, Ryland, and other Long-wool Sheep. 
Class 68. This class fairly represents Lincoln sheep ; but there is nothing 
.shown in it to call for particular remark. 
Class 69. The first four sheep placed in this class are very superior speci-
