The catalogue was a v( .,v mixed one. One or two consignments rather nice two-tooth Ewes came forward both in respect to lino wools arid threc-quar-•terbreds. There was a good sprinkling of fairly good four-yenr-old Ewes, but the greater portion of the catalogue was made ,ip of unattractive lots, thin-pelted, light hone and light shearers.

During the day numerous graziers and fattfuwrs were comparing to-day's sales with the Country Fairs. This is hardly a comparison. Each centre wants and produces a. grade of sheep that suits the locality, whereas in Addington, grades of all classes come forward, and in many instances represent various earmarks and various brands.
