annual wale of pure Soutbdown ewes and letting of rams by
Mr. R. IL ElMien, the wall-knows breeder of Southdown
sheep, took place at his farm at Landport, near Lewes, and
was attended by • considerable number of the oriecipal
agriculturists of the neighbourhood and egrets from distant
grazing districts. The flock comprised WO full-mouthed
ewes of the pure Southdown breed, 110 wither lamb., sod
If rams for letting. In consequence of the mai ikekidlT
which has been experienced during the past unprecedentedly
dry season in procuring sufficient pasturage for sheer, the
flock were not in such good condition as usual, and faded to
produce Klass equal to those obtained in fanner years.
Pour pens of firm full-mouthed ewes were first put up, two
of which found purchasers at 3f. per head. There were it
pens of 10 each. the priscipal purchaser of which was the
agent of Lord Sndeley, to whom eight lots were knocked
down, each at V. per bead, and two others at Xs. per
bead. The wither lambs were put up in semis lots of a scare
each, aid one of ten. Two some were purchased at 25..
per head. firs at 245., and the remaining tee at 21a In the
letting of rams, with the enoeption of one animal, there wan
not much competition. This ram—a four-year old—after a
keen competition between Mr. Rigdeo, of Hove, and Mr.
Rory, of Eaetboaroe, was knocks., dowa to the latter at 13
guineas. The other prices obtained varied from 10f. toll j
guinea'. The first or Great Lewes sheep fair, which is the
most important fair of the description held in the region at
the Southdowns, took place yesterday on the Spinal tart
in the outskirts of the town. The number of sheep pawed

sions, nail the animals themselves were by no mean• in meth
good condition as could have been desired by both salter
