We find it impossible to print. this
week, the remainder of the results of the
second days shearing, or the third days.
Our next issue, however. will contain the
whole list.
THIRD DAY.
There were n few new entries yester-
day. The shearing continued all day,
the last not being finished till nearly
dark. Among those shcared in the af-
ternoOn was yearling ram owned by
VIM. McCaulcy of Cornwall. The animal
was just a year old Thursday His
fleece weighed 81 lbs. 2oz. The attend
ance. Thursday, was not so large as on
Wednesday.
The only mishap of the gathering was
the injury of one of +. G.. Farnham' 5
French Merino rams. The animal was
very heavy and was shcarcd while lying
on the floor. In some way one of the
bones in the hip was broken. 1t is
hoped the sheep is not spoiled.
The shearing passed of pleasantly
| and satisfactorily to all concerned.
The show of sheep was without doubt
tflc DeSt ever maze III Addison county.
About 1870 sheep were shorn during the
three days. Several were shorn a few
days since at Fl. c. Burwelrs and re-
corded by officers of the association, Mr..
Burwell being unable to come with
them to Middlebury on account of sick
ness in his family. These bring the
total number shcared under the auspices
of the association up to- about 100.
Many sheep exhibited were not shorn
because shearers could not be had.
