Various Breeds of Sheep.

with plenty of bone, and, with one or two exceptions, showing 
great improvement in the wool. In Class 230 there were three 
or four pens of good lambs, but the remainder showed room 
for improvement. The shearling ewes (Class 231) were of 
exceptional merit, showing more uniformity of type and good 
wool — a great improvement generally. Class 232 (ewe lambs) 
contained two or three pens of fairly good lambs, but the- 
remainder were rather weak. 
Wensleydales. — The exhibit of Wensleydales was a smaller 
one than usual, but the type and quality were good. The 
winning shearling ram (No. 1940) in Class 233 and the first 
prize pen of shearling ewes (No. 1947) in Class 235 are worthy 
of special mention. The lambs were young and rather small, 
but the winning pens of each sex had all the qualifications 
necessary for growing into typical sheep. 
Dorset Horn. — These classes were well contested through- 
out, the exhibits being uniformly typical. The pen of ram 
lambs (No. 1958), to which the breed Championship was 
awarded, was of especially high merit (see Fig. 5, opposite to 
page 146). 
Devon Long Wools. — There were only ten pens entered 
from two flocks, but the animals shown were of excellent 
quality. 
South Devon, Dartmoor, and Exmoor. — The exhibits were 
few in number, and the Judge reports that the South Devons 
were very good, the Dartmoor rams not up to their usual 
standard, but the ewes were better. The Exmoors were fairly 
good, the ewes being well woolled, but rather small. 
Cheviots. — The Judge reports that the general character 
of the exhibits, which numbered six only, was very high. 
Black-Faced Mountain.— Class 252 (rams, shearling and 
upwards). — This was a very creditable display, including several 
animals of considerable merit, very well bred, and brought 
out in good bloom. The shearling ewes in Class 253 were 
well brought out on the whole, and the first prize winners 
(No. 2012) would not easily be beaten. 
Lonks and Herdwicks. — The two Lonk rams exhibited in 
Class 254 were very good samples. The first prize was awarded 
to No. 2016, and the second to No. 2015. In Class 255, for Lonk 
shearling ewes, the competition between the two exhibits was 
very close, No. 2019 being placed first and No. 2018 second. 
The Herdwicks were remarkably good exhibits, but only three 
animals competed in Class 256, for rams one year old and 
upwards, and two pens of ewes in Class 257. 
Welsh. — In his report on these classes the Judge states 
that they were well patronised and that the quality was good,
