The Lincohi Show, 1907. 
The leading pen in Class 192 (pens of five shearling rams) were 
well brought out and had great substance with good lean flesh 
and nice wool. The second prize pen contained some typical 
“ sires ” good in their wool with perfect skins and nice style. 
The third prize went to a pen of good-fleshed sheep with wool 
of the cori'ect class. Class 193 (“ Special Selling " shearling 
rams) was not a satisfactory class, although the four leading 
sheep showed character and good breeding. In Class 194 (pons 
of three ram lambs) the prize pens were generally meritorious, 
containing several promising “ sires.” Class 195 (pens of three 
shearling ewes) contained a small entry, but excellent in quality 
and the two leading pens were outstanding winners. The ewe 
lambs (Class 196) were of average merit. 
Southdowns. — The six classes provided for this breed 
attracted a really good entry of sixty-nine. In Class 197 (two 
shear rams) the first prii<fe winner, Fairlawn, was an excellent 
and typical ram, choice in his flesh with good character. This 
animal also won the Southdown Sheep Society’s Gold Medal for 
best Southdown ram (see Fig. 34). In the shearling ram class 
(198) the competition was particularly keen, the first prize going 
to Sir Jeremiah Colman for a well-fleshed ram with a good head. 
This sheep was Reserve for Gold Medal. The pens of three 
shearling rams (Class 199) formed an interesting competition, 
three deep-fleshed rams exhibited by the Exors. of the late Col. 
H. McCalmont being placed first. The ram lambs (Class 200) 
were of superior merit and excellent in character, three lambs 
of nice type shown by the Duke of Devonshire gaining first 
place, an excellent pen shown by H.M. The King being second. 
Competition in the shearling ewe class was very keen. Sir 
Jeremiah Colman secured the first prize, and with the same 
animals won the Silver Medal for the best pen of females 
(see Fig. 35). In a strong class of ewe lambs H.M. The King 
won first honours with a very uniform and good-fleshed pen 
of animals. 
Hampshire Downs. — The Judges report that this section was 
a very excellent one ; the two-shear ram class and the lamb 
classes were of exceptional merit. Better old sheep than the 
winner in the former are seldom seen, and perhaps never a 
better pen of ewe lambs than the first in their class. 
Suffolks. — There was an excellent show of the breed. In 
every class there were some good typical specimens. In the 
two-shear ram class the first, second, and third prize sheep were 
very good. In the shearling rams there were some very good 
sheep, with quality and good wools. The ram lamb class con- 
tained some well-grown lambs, the first, second, and third prize 
pens being of very good, nice quality, good in colour and wool.
