. Special report on the history and present condition of the sheep industry of the United States . Sheep; 1892. EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 443 At the Leeds show of 1861 there was a large showiug of shearling rams, the greater portion of which were Oxfordshires, which were ex- chided from competition, as they were not considered as coming within the categoryof short-wooled sheep. Thestewards in their report stated: At the same time the judges are of opinion that the Oxfordshire Downs should mot be excluded from competition at these annual shows, as they believe them to be ani- mals possessing great merit, and worthy of having a class to themselves. The society accorded the breed a separate class, and the Oxfordshire Downs made their first appearance as a recognized breed by the great society in the year 1862, at Battersea, where they nnmbered sixty-two entries, and were highly spoken of by the judges, who, however, objected to their want of uniformity. The same objection was made at the New- castle show in 1864, when the judges said they " still exhibit a consider- able diversity of color in their legs and faces, but the tendency seems as much as possible toward the dark faces and to the retention of the Cotswold topknot; some were a little too high on the leg." Similar traces of a departure from uniformity were remarked upon by the judges at the annual shows in 1865 and 1868. From this time a greater fixedness of type was secured, and the re- ports of the judges and stewards of the annual shows in 3870 and 1872 give high praise for the general excellence and great improvement in uniform character. There was still to be seen, however, a difference in type in the rams offered to the public; but, knowing that a heavy fleece could be obtained with wool thickly set on the skin, and holding the opinion that a fine quality of mutton was not to be found under an open coat, judges thought a great advance would be made, and they have not been disappointed.
