well on his legs.” The sheai’ling rams included a number of 
excellent sheep, and the first prize went to “ a very handsome 
sheep of extra good quality, with a beautiful head and fine 
bone,’'" exhibited by the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, M.P., who 
also took the second prize. Ewes were a class small in num- 
bers but of good quality, especially Mr. Balfour’s pen, to which 
the first prize was awarded. 
Clan Forest. — Prize money to the amount of SOL was offered 
to induce breeders of Clun Forest sheep in the adjacent county 
of Shropshire to face one another in the Show ring at Warwick. 
They omitted to avail themselves of the opportunity thus 
afforded of making their sheep more widely known. The 
Judges say, “No entry, which we regret, as this breed is 
generally approved of, and does well in most districts, being 
hard}^ and making convenient weights as well as good fat 
lambs.” 
Welsh Mountain. — Ten entries were made from three flocks, 
in the counties of Brecon, Carnarvon, and Merioneth. The 
first prize went for rams to Mr. John Jones, and for ewes to Mr. 
Godfrey Parry. The Welsh sheep generally were “ a very good 
lot,” but the Judges suggest that in future all should be shorn 
after April 1 in the current year, “ as showing them, some shorn 
and some not shorn, gives considerable additional difficulty in 
making the awards.” 
Goats. 
The Judges of Goats have sent in the subjoined report : — 
The entries for goats were very few, hut the quality left nothing to 
ho desired, as it would he dillicult to find 14 equal animals iu England. In 
male kids, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts's Garnet took first and Champion 
medal ; he is probably the best goat, in all points, yet bred. He was, how- 
ever, hard pressed by a much younger animal, shown by Sir Humphrey De 
Trafi'ord. In female goats. Lady Burdett-Coutts took first and Champion 
medal with Myrtle, and second with Cornflower, both splendid animals, 
third going to a very nice animal shown by Mr, Smith-Ryland. The 
Keserve and II. C. went to a very fine example of the Swiss Schwartzhals, 
shown by Mr. Paul Thomas, whilst a good specimen of an Angora goat was 
exhibited by Mr. F. T. Stanley. F or the goats under two years, and male 
kids under a year. Baroness Burdett-Coutts had a walk over, but the animals 
shown by her were well worth the first prize awarded, as they would have 
been hard to beat iu any company. 
In female kids. Miss Mabel Holmes Pegler was well ahead of the other 
competitors, and her kid Jeanette secured not only first in its class, but also 
reserve for medal. A Toggenburg shown by Mr. Thomas was second, 
though very closely pressed by Lady Burdett-Coutts’s Marigold, which was 
awarded third.
