Report on Live-Stock at Carlisle.

Class 116. Shcarlimj Rams. — A very good lot. The first-prize sheep is 
lengthy, with good wool, fine head, and good style ; the second and third 
are smaller, but excellent tyi)es of the breed. Some sheep much above the 
average usually shown were amongst the unplaced. 
Class 117. Aged Rams. — Very good. The first sheep possesses great 
substance and style, although a little deficient of wool. The second sheep 
has better wool, but is otherwise inferior to the first. Some of the others 
were fairly good. 
Class 118. Gimmers — As a class were not equal to the rams. 
George Torrance. 
William Grieve. 
COTSWOLDS contributed twenty-five big, imposing, stylish 
sheep, with white curly coats and wavy top-knots, all white- 
laced, and the pick of four crack flocks. Mr. Robert Jacobs, of 
Signett Hill, Burford, Oson, a comparatively new exhibitor, 
eclipsed his competitors with a pair of grand Shearlings, with 
shapely outline and good skins. Mr. Thomas Brown, of 
Marham Hill, Downham Market, Norfolk, had the third prize 
and two high commendations, testifying that those big useful 
sheep can be successfully transferred from their original habitat 
on the limestone hills of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. 
Mr. Russell Swanwick, of the Royal Agricultural College Farm, 
Cirencester, won with his grand two-shear sheep, Mr. Brown 
being second and highly commended. The two pens of evenly 
assorted Ewes came from Messrs. Gillett, of Killkenny Farm, 
Faringdon. The Judges furnished the following concise Report : 
Class 119. Shearling Rams. — This was a good class throughout. The 
prize-winners were specially good specimens of the breed, and we commended 
the whole class. 
Class 120. Rams of any other age. — This also was a good class. No. 1021 
being a sheep of more than ordinary merit. 
Class 121. Pen of Five Shearling Eives of the same flock. — There were 
only two entries in this class. 
James Selmes. 
William Thos. Garne. 
LiNCOLNS were comprised in 36 pens, of which several were 
absent. Although more flocks were represented than amongst 
some other breeds, the standard of merit was not so high as it 
has been at some former Shows. Several of the sheep were 
deficient in size and in wool ; some partook of Leicester points. 
Mr. Henry Smith, of The Grove, Cropwell Butler, Notting- 
ham, monopolised the whole of the prizes in both classes for 
Rams, with the single exception of the third for older sheep, 
which went to a local breeder, Mr. W. Savage, of Hanging 
Bank, Penrith. Mr. John Pears, of Mere, Lincoln, and Mr. 
John Byron, of Kirkby Green, Sleaford, shared the honours for 
Ewes, to which the Judges thus award high praise : — 
Class 122. Shearling Rams. — The first-prize shearling, as in the Leicesters,
