here tbe produce of the finest impqrjed sheep,; and au opportunity is afforded breeders of studying the different crosses with the colo nial sheep, lb is getting rather difficult to trace tLe characteristics of the once distinct classes of the Lincola and the Leicester: Io was remarked at, the sale yesterday that pur. bred sheep of either class were very rare even in England. It may serve to illustrate the ambiguity which attends their classifica tion, when we mention that the best ram at the late Mahurangi Show was disqualified fnm taking a class prize because he was entered as a Lincoln, and the judges de clared him a Leicester.

Owing to thsir being only two or three i' a pea, a very much better opportunity w A afforded of minutely inspecting the she *s About 800 rams were penned altogether, aP; the general verdict was that they were o , a moderate lot. Be fore the selling comm eQo "^ we prophesy that Mr Middieton, of p a , v es kura, will bear off the palm for su p lf i>a * quality. His two shearling Lincola r v ' '? r pen No. 40 are universally conceded t' y be t^ n pick of the show._ On** ram c jpeeiallv is a magnificent animal, showing a ffran 'j frame and splendid wool. There j.a likely t be a keen competition for the 1 'at. lh ec rams are said to be by imported r * ms Oljt . & imported ewes, so that they o aght * J°^ good. Mr Middieton has a large? nur j0 c sbeep in the show, and all sho.w aoer of quality. Mr Thos. Russell exhibdtf- excellent sheep, but not so good as last year ' some good is said to be that he has sent - ■> The reason the pick of his flock to th' *» . over 40 of Jno. May has some capital T J.

Farmer, and Jas Wallace. The lunch was just as amusing as yesterday. The way in which the beer and sandwiches disappeared was equally surprising. Corkscrews were not waited for, bottle necks flew off, aud sometimes the grateful fluid wound its. way lovingly down the backs of the busy inno cents in front. Happy was the man who could secure a tumbler, thrice happy lie who could keep it when he had got,it. After the general public had taken their fill, a body of boys invaded the place, and, without let or hindrance, drank the beer and eat the sand wiches till they could scarcely see out of their eyes : no doubt they were all on busi ness.

[PER PIGEON EXPEESS.]

2 p.m. Great complaints about scarcity of cata logues. Man asked for one just now, and boy said he would fetch one. Went and brought back a cp.ttle dog saying he thought that was what was wanted. Selling going on briskly. 30 pens disposed of. The highest price in row one was fetched by a two ehear ram bred Mr Russell, and owned by Mr H. Hill.—No. 25. This was bought by J. S. Graham at £18.—No 21. A shearling ram bred, by Mr Middleton, owned by S. Reid, brought £12 ; buyer, Mr James. No. 8. A ram of Mr John Wheeler's, bred by Buttle Bros., went for £6. No 13.—One of two Leicester raaas, bred by Mr McLean, the property of Mr Thorpe, brought ' £8; buyer, Mr Jordan.—No. 23. Lincoln ram, bred by Buttle, owned by Hosking, fetched £5 10s; buyer, Thorpe. Rest averaged between £2 and £4 each.

2.15 p.m. Messrs It. and E. McLean showed several of his imported rams. Two sold to Mr Morrison for £35.

2.45 p.m,

Middleton's sheep, as I predicted, have created quite a sensation. There has been a regular rash for them. Twenty rams offered by him have realised an average of £19 per sheep. No. 42, three shearing Lincoln rams brought £41, £31,; and £24. MKV4I, three do. do., £17 10s., £14 103., atid £13 10s. No. 43, three do do., £12 10a., £12, and £12 No.. 44, £12 10a., £12, and £12..

RECEPTION OF THE REPRESENTA TIVES.

We do not think that the Representatives can complain of their reception lasb night. A,, cynic might be disposed to mutter "there is nothing so snc36M3ful as success," but setting aside the motive, the reception was in every respect highly complimentary to the Cham pions and their companions, more especially the visitor's from the South. The Luna arrived shortly before six, an hour which admitted of all the arrangements being made 1 without trenching very much upon the half boliday, an imaginary affair rather than an actual reality. When the Luna was signalled a large crowd, of spectators gradually collected-ia: Queen-street and on the wharf. The muster of the .Volunteers took place at the Waitemata corner. The following corps were represented : — The Volunteer Fire .Brigade, next the wharf ;. the Victoria Company, under Lieut. Thompson; the Hobaun Company, under > Captain Dignan and Lieut. Clifton; the Artillery, under ■Captain Burns j the Engineers, under _. Captain Andersonj Lieut. Kitchen, and Sub- Lieut. Saunders ; the Scottish, under Cap tain Mowbray; the Rifle Brigade,'. Nos. 2 and 3 Companies, under : Lieutenant Davies. The Naval Brigade under the command of Lieut. Ohapman. Several members of the Cavalry were present in uni form, but not mounted, under Capt. Isaacs. Queen-street presented a very gay appear ance. Rows of bunting were stretched at —intervals across the thoroughfare, while at various windows well-dressed ladies showed themselves in large numbers. When |the steamer touched the wharf a cheer was given. Some time elapsed before the land ing took place ; when it did the representa tives marched up the wharf, and were re ceived with a flourish of the bands and a general salute from the riflemen. who were under the command: pi Major Gordon. At this point the gallant marksmen, were met by His Worship the Mayor and tKei^ Town Clerk on behalf ofi the. citizens, and the following address • was read by His :—Gentlemen, —It affords me the greatest pleasure jtos welcome you on your return from competing as the^fle,,r,epr,esenta *" tives of" thei'colony."' Whiie the citizens of this city are naturally pleased that the champion t comes from the Auckland - firatiaea!. itpon thii ocoiwion, it would

Once more tr me on behaif of the citizens of Auckland t bid you welcome.—The conclusion of the Address was marked by loud cheering.—Col. Lyon responded as follows :-I beg to ac knowledga with thanks, the reception which you have given to the representatives upon their return to Auckland. I also beg to return thanks on behalf of the represen tatives for the entertainment to whicn you nave kindly invited thfm. The representa tives were then escorted to the Drill-shed by tneir Auckland comrades-in-arms and hands azong the following route:-From Queen stree,t; up Custom-house-street into Albert °J rf«t, through West Queen-street into _*obson-atreet, down Wellesley-street and into Queen street, from, there up Sborfcland and Princes streets to the Brill-shed. At the bottom of Shortland -street, Lieutenant Skinner was again hoisted shoulder high by his enthusiastic admirers, and borne to the Barrack Hill, evidently discomfited hy lihV novel but well-meant mode of carriage. Poelnitz, the Cavalry Champion, also did sot fail of receiving due tokens of honour, and was carried half-way up Shortland-street towards the Drill-shed. On arrival there the men were dismissed to prepare for the ball and dinner tonight, at which about 200 guests are expected. ■ 9 a v f«.
