particularly to be commended. Of the ram tegs, the first, 
second, and third prize sheep belonged to the same owner, and 
were remarkably fine specimens of the breed. The same may 
also be said of his shearling ewes which gained first and third 
prizes. The second prize pen were three ewes of excellent form. 
The whole of the sheep were of good typical character, this 
remark applying especially to the shearling rams. Without 
doubt this breed has now become much more uniform, and the 
sheep generally are well covered with a heavy even fleece. 
Cotswolds. — Both for numbers and quality this breed’s 
exhibits were much above the average, the shearling rams and 
the shearling ewes making extra good classes and very well 
shown. The leading animals in the shearling ram class were 
big bold sheep with size as well as quality, very firm under 
hand, with good wool. The shearling ewes were the strongest 
lot the Judge had seen out for many years. The first was a 
sweet pen, very matching with the best of wool, and firm in 
their mutton. The second and third pens were very big heavy 
sheep much above the average, not quite so matching as the 
first, but a very good class. The ram and ewe lambs were 
good quality, splendid wool, but not quite so forward. 
Devon Longwools. — Rather a small entry of this breed was 
made, but the sheep that were there were very good. The 
rams were strong with good wool and plenty of bone, and the 
first prize yearling ewes made an exceptionally good pen. 
South Devons— On the whole the South Devon Sheep 
were typical of their breed, and the numbers were somewhat 
satisfactory. The first prize ram and ewe lambs were the 
best seen by the Judge for many years, which speaks well 
of the first prize two-shear ram as a stock getter, he being the 
sire of both pens. The first prize yearling ram stood away 
from his opponents, having a good head and neck, depth of 
flesh, good wool, and big bone. The two pens of yearling 
ewes were good, but there ought to have been more entries, as 
the registered flocks number about 240. 
Dartmoors. — Though not numerous, Dartmoors were a 
prominent feature among the various breeds of long-wool 
sheep. The splendid animals reared in their native wilds on 
Dartmoor and the fringe of highland surrounding it were a 
credit to the showyard and to the exhibitors of this valuable 
breed covering one-third of the county of Devon. Ihe Judge 
notices a great improvement since the breed was registered 
four years ago. Their constitution and long lustres of curly 
wool attracted much attention and admiration. 
Exmoors. There were eight entries in the three classes, the 
old rams, also the ewes, being very good specimens, but the hogg
