The mother of the renowned Alfred the Great was skillful in the spinning of wool, and instructed her daughters in the art. Mr. John Coxetter of Greenham Mills, Newbury, had two Scotch Southdown sheep shorn at his factory, at exactly five o'clock in the morning, from the wool of which, after passing its various processes, a complete damson-colored coat was made, and worn by Sir John Throckmorton, at a quarter past six in the evening, being 2 3/4 hours within the time allotted, for a wager of 1,000 guineas. The sheep were roasted whole, and a sumptuous dinner given by Mr. Coxetter. — Old English paper. Wool-oiler for carding-machine. Woolff's En′gine
