General remarks of the Jurors.—The long wool classes wera judged by Messrs Broadbent, Addy, and VanSeuden, Mr Stronachnot taking any part, as he was interested as agent for several exhibitors in Division B. We thought it advisable to judge the Lincoln bioed along with Romney Marsh—hence our reason for giving two first prizes in the same section in this class. We note in Division B, section 6, that the exhibits “ Glanty ” and “. Unity, ’ although excellent wool of their, breed, show a few [fleeces with a strain of crossbred in them. WOODWARE.
