This c latter gentleman had a splendid lot 5 of Romney Marsh- rams, and obtained l tbe top price amongst his Northern f competitors. Two splendid animals i by Jumbo 111 were passed in at the fc reserve price of 10 guineas, but bel fore the conclusion of the sale were i disposed of at a satisfactory figure. . The highest price obtained for any i single ram was 40 guineas for a t stud Lincoln belonging to Mr E s Menlove, of Oamaru, Mr McLennan . of Oroua Downs, being tbe purchaser. b This gentleman was a 1 bo the last to i catch the auctioneer's eye when Mr I Holmes' stud Lincoln was knocked 1 down for 20 guineas. Nearly the whole of tbe sheep were sold, and from the complimentary remarks passed by our Southern friends we have every reason to expect them at future sales of stud sheep.
