The snnusl sheep sheering and mowing took place

of competitors exeeeded those of previous years. The
hay being a short crop, and very dry, rendered good
eork difficult, but under thecitcumstances the men did
'heir work tolerab.y well. A new feature we, the in-
troduetien of mowli.g machines, but these owing to the
!lathes• of the crop, did not cut the grass so dose to
the soil so the scythes. The task was lit ol.u, sere ;
end 2iid dors, sore ;in two hours and three ou•rters.

to employers of labour to and their wildcats% taking

Mr. DAMIR said it wan a decided novelty to have
mowing machine., but on soeount of the dry weather
tit, work done with them was no erit, non of their value,
and the lightners of the crop we. al% &rennet their
good working. The scythes of the men went mueh
cheer to the soil than the ma, lames. He (the epe.k..e)
thought the shearing was eery w.II done on the whole,
though the eimvany in gbh have seen better, and one
great fault he notiestd wan that the sheep were shorn •
little too close to the skin.

Mr. T. RANDALL ssid with regard to the mowing
