SOME ENGLISH BREED-BUILDERS 143 



Hampton Court occurs so frequently in these pages 

 that it seems scarcely necessary to make special 

 mention of his successful operations in this con- 

 nection. The herd was one of the oldest in "Here- 

 fordshire, having been founded in 1819 by John 

 Arkwright. Among the best sires used were Sir 

 Hungerford and Sir Oliver 2d (1773), a son of Sir 

 Thomas. Another of the noted stock bulls in 'this 

 herd was Ivington Boy (4662) by Mr. Tudge 's Or- 

 leans (2161) out of Ivington Lass. The Lord Wil- 

 ton bull Iroquois (7039) of Allen Hughes 7 breeding 

 was also in service, and was out of the same cow as 

 the bull Washington, shown with such success in the 

 United States many years ago by Mr. Yeomans. 

 Mr. Arkwright 's name is closely connected with the 

 successful introduction of Herefords into our mid- 

 dle western states through the medium of Sir Rich- 

 ard 2d (4984). 



The Leinthall Herd. We have already referred 

 to the remarkable success achieved by Wm. Tudge 

 of Adforton in the production of high-class Here- 

 fords, including Lord Wilton. For a great many 

 years, as will appear from our notes on the shows 

 further on, the Adforton " white faces" were im- 

 portant factors in the Eoyal competitions. We have 

 also referred in the preceding pages to Wm. Tudge, 

 Jr., who actively assisted his father in the manage- 

 ment of the home herd before engaging in Hereford 

 breeding on his own account. We have here an- 

 other instance of inherited ability in the successful 

 handling of high-class cattle.
