Various Breeds of Sheep. 
Ill 
Devon Long Wools. — In these classes there was only one 
exhibitor, and to him all the prizes were awarded. The 
exhibits were good specimens of the breed, and fully deserved 
the honour. 
South Devons. — The entries present were very typical of 
their breed, particularly the winning two-shear ram. 
Dartmoors. — These classes were not well supported, but it 
was satisfactory to find a fresh exhibitor interested in them. 
Exmoors. — Class 261 was very good, and the Judge found it 
difficult to decide between the first and second prize rams. In 
Class 262 the first prize pen (No. 2165) were three very 
excellent ewes. 
Cheviots. — Although small in numbers they were a good 
lot, there not being a bad sheep in them. The first old sheep 
had a very good head and skin and was a good handler. The 
second, a shearling, was a good sort. The first and second 
gimmers were very equal, and would take a deal of beating in 
any company. 
Lonks. — The first prize ram in Class 265 was a very good 
specimen, but just a little too low in his horns. The one to 
which the second prize was awarded was a nice looking sheep, 
but not so good in his hind legs, he also did not walk with the 
freedom he ought to. The remaining ram was a fairly good 
one, only too small to compete with those awarded first and 
second, as he is only a shearling. Class 266 (three shearling 
ewes) — two in pen No. 2178 awarded first prize are almost 
perfect Lonk sheep, the third is rather light in colour on the 
face, and its horns are a little too close to its head. Those 
awarded second were also good sheep, but not so strong in the 
bone as those awarded first, and not quite so good in colour. 
The remaining pen was still weaker in build and inferior in 
quality. 
Herdwicks. — The ram awarded first prize in Class 267 was 
excellent, good in colour and coat, also very hard looking. The 
one awarded second was younger, and not so good in colour 
or fleece, still a ‘good sheep, perhaps on a rather larger scale 
than the first. The pen of three shearling ewes, to which was 
awarded first prize in Class 268, was one of very good shear- 
lings forming a nice equal lot and well worthy of their position. 
Those awarded second were a very good lot, but smaller in bone 
and build, still they form a fairly equal pen. 
Welsh. — In Class 269 (rams, shearling and upwards) there 
were several very excellent specimens of the pure Welsh breed, 
and the prize winner is an exceptionally good sheep, with a 
fleece that will withstand the cold, and protect the back and
