ewes) were the most matchy pen in the class, with good fleeces 
and well ribbed up. The second made a showy pen with more 
scale than the winners, but one of them drew hack considerably. 
The reserve trio were a nice typical pen of the breed, but with 
the same drawback as the former, which was really the main 
fault throughout the class, as they all showed the best of 
breeding. 
Lincolns. — Shearling rams were decidedly below the 
average, most likely due to the unfavourable season, and the 
wool was not up to the standard. Two-shears were well 
grown, but were not to their usual standard with regard to 
wool. The lambs were very nice, and showed a good deal of 
character. The yearling ewes in their wool were very good 
and quite kept their repute, the wool being excellent. 
Leicesters. — The shearlings in Class 267 were very good, 
particularly the two winning rams, having large frames, well 
sprung ribs, good skins, and the fine character of a Leicester. 
In Class 268 the first winning pen of ram lambs was very 
evenly matched, with good skins, flesh, and heads, and much 
the best in the pen. There were only three pens shown in 
Class 269 (shearling ewes), the first and second pens being very 
fine types of Leicester sheep. In Class 270 were shown three 
pens of Leicester ewe lambs, the two pens, first and second, 
having good skins and frames, well matched with good heads. 
Border Leicesters. — The section as a whole was a very fair 
representation of the breed. Only four rams over two-shear 
were shown, but the prize-winners were good. The shearling 
rams and gimmers were both strong classes, more especially 
considering the distance from their headquarters. There were 
two empty pens in the second class and three in third. 
Wensleydales. — In the aged ram class there were four entries, 
and it was generally remarked there had not been four such 
good rams shown at the Royal for a good many years. The 
executors of the late T. Willis took the lead with a fine typical 
ram, with a good head, even fleece, and plenty of scale and 
substance. Mr. J. W. Greensit ran the winner very close with 
another fine powerful ram, having a good head, good back, and 
well on his legs, but hardly quite so good in wool. Lord Henry 
Bentinck came third with a big strong ram of considerable 
merit, but rather deficient in legs. 
In the shearling ram class there were four entries, and the 
executors of Mr. Willis again took the lead with a nice quality 
ram, with a good head, even fleece, and well set on his legs. 
Lord Henry Bentinck came second with a good fleshy ram, of 
considerable merit, and Mr. Greensit took third with a ram of 
good quality, but which hardly met the eye so well as the two 
former rams.
