ST. JAMES'S HALL v. THE OXFORD.

A friendly game of cricket was played at the South Lon-
don ground, Kennington-lane, on Friday, October 10, be-
tween the gentlemen connected with the above establish-
ments. Some excellent batting was displayed during the
game, but owing to the bowling being of a most destructive
character the scores were not so large as might have been
expected.

There was a numerous attendance of ladies and gentle-
men present, amongst whom we recognised many of the
profession. The following is the result of the. game :

WEYHILL (HANTS) GREAT SHEEP FAIR.—WEY-
HILL, Friday, Oct. 10.—This was the opening day of this
great fair, and which was limited to the sale of sheep, and
for many days large flocks have continued to arrive from
the chief sheep-breeding counties. The importance of this
fair to flockmasters is considerable, and affords opportunity
to breeders to exchange and effect crosses essential to sheep-
keeping. The engrossing topic of conversation was the
prevailing epidemic among sheep (smallpox) in the Western
Counties, and it is satisfactory to state that reports are that
the disease is much abated, and in a few weeks it will be
entirely eradicated from sheep-flocks. Proper measures
were taken to prevent sheep infected being brought into
the vicinity of the fair, thereby precluding contamination
to the healthy flocks. The fair was largely attended by sheep-
dealers, breeders, and farmers. A good demand for store
and stock sheep existed, and, although advanced prices
were asked, yet a quick sale was effected, and early in the
day nearly all the sheep and lambs were sold. The follow-
ing were the prices—Stock sheep, Southdown and half-
bred, ewes, young and of good breed, 38s to 445 a-head, and
choice ditto, 48s ; broken-mouthed ewes, 30s to 35s ; Dor-
setl ewes, 50s to 60s ; and young ewes lambing down early,
65s a-head ; Sussex-down wether lambs, 24s to 265,
superior ditto, 28s a-head ; ewe lambs, 21s to 23s perd
