OTHER EMINENT ENGLISH BREEDERS. 155 



Jobson sort." Sultan got during his one year's 

 service at Brandsby the cow Sultana, from 

 which to the cover of Belshazzar, that had been 

 hired from Castle Howard, was bred the famous 

 bull Carcase (3285), that as a yearling stood 

 second to Hecatomb at York in 1838 in the bull 

 championship class, defeating Mr. Bates' Duke 

 of Northumberland, and was soon afterward 

 sold for 200 guineas. 



Another prize bull of Wiley's breeding was 

 Van Dunck (10992), champion at the Yorkshire, 

 first-prize two-year-old at the Highland, and 

 after being placed second in the bull champion- 

 ship at same show to Maynard's Crusade sold 

 for 125 guineas to an Aberdeenshire man. The 

 Wiley cattle were not much shown for a num- 

 ber of years after these victories, but prizes 

 were not infrequently won on Brandsby bul- 

 locks at York Fat-Stock Shows. As late as 1869 

 Mr. Wiley reappeared with show cattle at the 

 Royal at Manchester, where he won first in a 

 ring of two dozen bulls with Earl of Derby, and 

 at the Yorkshire the same bull was second to 

 Warlaby's great Commander-in-Chief. 



The Knightley " Fillpails." Sir Charles 

 Knightley of Fawsley Park, Daventry, after giv- 

 ing up hounds, about 1818, founded a herd in 

 the Midlands that acquired a celebrity for its 

 output of milk, cream, butter and beef even 

 more famous than that attained by Whitaker.
