DULLEST FOR YEARS
MASTERTON RAM FAIR [ Per Press Association.] MASTERTON, Feb. 17. An excessive over-supply of rams, many of inferior quality, made the Masterton A. and P.

There was a large and representative bench of buyers, wn i were prepared to pay reasonably good money for high quality animals, but they purchased with keen discrimination. Entries this year are about 700 up on last year. Top price for flock Lincolns was 7igns. Prices for a big offering of flock Romneys ranged from 2gns. to 52gns., the latter being an exceptional price for flocks and was paid by Messrs.

Bell, of Blenheim, for a ram offered on account of Sir William Perry. Mr. A. L. Whee!;*r also .' .'cured 65gns. for a ram purchased by Mr. Murdoch McLeod, of Mart inborough.
