RAMS. 20 Pure Lincoln Shearling B ams, bred by Joseph May, Esq., of Auckland.

COTSWOLD. 5 Ram Hoggetts, First Class 5 “ “ Second Class These Cotswolds arc sample pens from J. D. Canning, Esq.’s well-known Oakbourne Flock. The complete satisfaction which Rams from (his flock has given to buyers, and the marked success of their crosses on the “downs,” for weight of wool and constitution, render comment here almost unnecessary. This breeder’s “ Champion ” of the Longwools of a previous Show seems to beget like all over, as from the breech to the neck the wool is wonderfully level, and of a clear, strong fibre.
