He kept them in excellent command, hut did not altogether please the judge in the manner in which he held them. °Mr G. Hinton’s Skipper made a good run, scoring within a point of Sharp. His chief defect was in heading the sheep. Mr J. Mclntosh’s flick was third, and Mr E. W. Reid’s Bess fourth. Mr 0. Evan ’ Sprint and Mr C. Wright’s Yarrow tied for fifth pluce.
