point. Class 210 (three ram lambs) contained some really 
good sheep, the leading pens being very nearly equal in merit. 
Four pens of shearling ewes in Class 217 — the smallest class 
in the section — were headed by the best pen of ewes seen for 
some years. The ewe lambs in- Class 218 were a level lot, but 
the winning pens were not quite up to the quality and type of 
previous years. The first prize pen of ram lambs, shown by 
Mr. H. C. Stephens, won the Championship, with the second 
prize pen reserve. 
Suffolks. — The Judge states that these sheep made a good 
show and were very representative of the breed, all the animals 
being true to type and of good colour, although some of the 
classes might have been better filled. The two-shear rams 
(Class 219) made a good class of typical sheep, especially the 
first prize animal, and the same remarks apply to Class 220. 
Some very good lambs were shown in Class 221, being very 
true to type and of smart appearance. All the sheep exhibited 
in Class 222 were of especial merit. Class 223 was a collection 
of good animals, although the third prize winners were rather 
too fine for show sheep. A very good class of well-grown 
lambs of very smart appearance was found in Class 224. 
Dorset Horns. — The Judge reports that although the entries 
of Dorset Horns were not large, the specimens exhibited were 
representative of the breed. The first prize in Class 225 
(shearling rams) was awarded to No. 1862, a well-made, good 
fleshed ram ; the second prize to No. 1864, an animal with a 
good head and more size, and the third prize to No. 1867, a 
better fleshed ram but not so good on his legs. There was 
close competition in Class 226 (ram lambs), and first place was 
awarded to No. 1871, having correct turned horns, the second 
prize going to No. 1870. The third prize pen, No. 1869, and 
the reserve pen, No. 1872, contained good specimens of the 
breed. The shearling ewes in Class 227 were nearly of equal 
merit, No. 1873, a grand pen, taking first prize, No. 1875 the 
second prize, and No. 1877, the best fleshed pen in this class, 
the third prize. In Class 228 (ewe lambs), No. 1879 was 
awarded first prize, No. 1880 second prize, and No. 1882 third 
prize. 
Ryelands. — Being so far from home, there was only a fair 
entry of this very old breed of sheep, so celebrated in ancient 
times for their high quality of wool. The first prize animals 
in all the classes showed considerable merit and were excellent 
representatives of the breed. The second prize sheep were 
also good. 
Kerry Hill (Wales). — The Judge remarks that, owing to the 
distance from their native hills, the Kerry Hill (Wales) Sheep 
did not muster in large numbers, but those exhibited were
