WAS recognized by the Royal Agri-
cultural Society less than twenty
[ five years ago. The first importations
into this country were made few
years later or in 1883. The American
Suffolk Flock Registery Association
was organized in 1Sa2 with headquar-
tors at Des Moines. Iowa. As yet
only = few thousand of these sheep
are to be found In America. and but
few fair associations have recognized
them in their premium lists.
About two years ago Mr. Bailey

tanned three lambs, two ewes and a
ram, from a New York breeder. Both
of the ewes dropped their first lambs
last spring, and he has obtained two
crops of grade lambs from the ram
He is so much pleased with the ap-
pearance and general characteristics
of these sheep that he is now nego-
tiating with another New York breed
er for five breeding ewes which he
expects to receive soon. lie will plan
to make an exhibit of his flock at the
Central Maine and perhaps other fairs
next fall.
According to the best authorities
on sheep the head of the Suffolk is
hornless and is a distinct black color,
more so than any other of the Down
breeds, and inclines to be long. The
ears are also black and have ten
dency to be large. The neck is mod
erately long, the body inclined to be
rangy but with we'll sprung ribs,
broad and full chests, and the legs
black in color The fleece is moder-
ately short and fine and covers the
body and neck to head, not as a rule
passing over the forehead. The legs
are wooded to the knees and hooks.
| In size they rank between the
Hampshire and Shropshire, and rath-
er resemble the former but for the
baroness of the head. They are said
to rank high as mutton sheep and
possess early maturity and other
good qualities, evidently secured
through the Southdown cross in their
ancestry.
1t goes without saying from the
above description that they are, to
say the least, very handsome type
of sheep, and one that would add
much to the attractiveness of the
large and varied collections of pure
breed sheep now seen at the three big
fairs in this State, and we wish Mr.,
Bailey much success as the introducer
and pioneer breeder of the Suffolks in
Maine.-Turf, Farm and Home.

CLIMBERS MAKE LONG
 JUMP TO PLAY PELICANS

The Climbers jump down to New Or leans and play a transferred game to- day. It will be Jack Lively against possibly. Hess or Paige and as Lively so far has never failed to get off with his game, in New Orleans, the battle today promises to be exciting to a de- gree. Both the Climbers and Pelicans are fighting for the top and about as hard fought a scrap as one wants to see may be looked for.
 The game will be called at 3:30 and Jack Higgins will give his usual Sun day matinee at the Pickett Springs Casino-and so far the Sunday matinees in the little Pickett Springs theater have always turned out with the Climbers getting the big end 'ot the score.
 It is hard trip that the Climbers take, for after the game in New Or leans today they jump back to Nash vile, where they open Monday. The trip from New Orleans up will be via the Queen and Crescent to Chatta- nooga-there will be some time to wait in Chattanooga, if the Q. and c. train is on time and taking the N. c. and St. L. out of Chattanooga the Climbers will land in Nashville at 3:30 Monday afternoon. the game possibly not being called till 4:30 at Sulphur Dell
