Most of the judges for the A. and P. Show classes were appointed by the Committee on Saturday. The longwool sheep caused some, trouble. Mr Bishell's motion that Shropshires and Romneys be judged by one man was carried, whereupon Mr Bell pro, tested that such a decision would tend to discourage either the Shropshire or the Romney breeders.
