Devon  Long-wool. — Two  classes  were  provided  for  this 
breed,  and  seven  entries  were  received  from  four  flocks. 
Though  few  in  number,  the  exliibits  were  good,  and  all  received 
mention  by  the  Judge. 
Dartmoor. — Three  entries  from  three  flocks  were  made  in 
each  of  the  two  classes.  The  animals  showed  the  characteristics 
of  the  breed,  the  shearling  ewes  being  exce[)tionally  good. 
Exmoor. — There  were  six  entries  in  the  two  classes  from 
three  exhibitors.  The  first  prize  animals  were  excellent. 
Cheviots. — The  entries  numbered  nine  in  the  two  classes,  all 
being  exhibited  by  the  Messrs.  Robson.  The  first  prize  ram 
(Class  211)  was  “full  of  style,  and  with  excellent  wool.” 
The  first  and  second  prize  pens  of  shearling  ewes  (Class  212) 
were  both  good,  the  first  being  “ superior  with  wool  and  hair, 
and  containing  one  particularly  good  gimmer ; the  second  were 
a well-matched  pair.” 
Black-faced  Mountain. — This  section  had  nine  entries  in 
the  two  classes  from  four  flocks.  They  were  very  good 
animals,  and  presented  a most  creditable  appearance.  Amongst 
both  the  rams  and  ewes  there  were  animals  of  conspicuous 
merit. 
Lonks. — These  were  represented  by  eleven  entries  from 
seven  flocks,  and  were  as  good  as  could  possibly  be  bred. 
Herdwicks. — The  two  classes  contained  six  entries  from 
three  flocks.  Both  rams  and  ewes  showed  superior  breeding. 
Welsh  Mountain. — The  two  classes  contained  eleven  entries 
from  four  flocks.  The  rams  exhibited  (Class  2 It))  were  all 
true  to  type.  Shearling  ewes  (Class  220)  were  described  by 
the  Judge  as  “the  most  ]>erfect  lot  of  pure  Welsh  Mountain 
ewes  he  had  ever  seen.  They  were  of  proper  size,  and  the 
wool  was  so  close  as  to  be  weather-proof  in  any  climate  where 
herbage  for  stock  would  grow.” 
Ryeland. — This  breed  had  three  classes  with  twelve  entries 
from  three  flocks.  The  quality  throughout  was  good.  The 
first  j)rize  in  Class  221  was  “a  very  compact  two-shear  ram,  on 
short  legs,  with  nice  wool.”  In  Cla.ss  223  the  first  prize  was 
given  to  “a  pen  of  beautiful  ewes,  which  won  easily.”
