Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., having shipped on account of the well-known breeder, Mr. Arthur Wheeler, Leedstown, Marton, two stud rams for exhibition at the Melbourne Show this month, and purchased for a client in Perth a stud ram from the same breeder which it is intended to exhibit at the Perth Royal Show.
