One of the best judges of cattle in the North of England was 

 Mr. Anthony Met calf e, more recently known as Mr.Metcalfe-Gibson, 

 and the herd of shorthorns collected by him in Raven stonedale, 

 and now the property of his son are well worth a visit from anyone 

 staying in North Westmoreland. The present Mr. A. Metcalfe- 

 Gibson has some beautiful animals to continue breeding with at the 

 old place, and by the selection of a sire for the herd since our visit, 

 it is evident personal merit is to reign supreme and not pedigree 

 only in Ravenstonedale, as Royal Arthur has been purchased from 

 the prize taking herd of Mr. W. Handley, he is a son of Royal 

 Ingram 50374, from Derwent Queen 2nd by Sir Arthur Ingram 

 32490, a cow tracing thro' the late Mr. T. E. Pawlett's hands to 

 Mr. Jolly's herd, with a large amount of Booth blood in her veins : 

 Mr. Metcalfe-Gibson considered him the pick of the G-reenhead 

 young bulls, so when the three others passed over are seen by the 

 public in future show yards, some idea of the merits of Royal 

 Arthur may be obtained. Mr. Metcalfe-Gibson has erected in 

 connection with stabling some warm comfortable looking buildings 

 close to his residence, so it is to these we go first, and find Weal 

 Charity, from Hopton Hall, has turned out a capital purchase, 

 bringing a calf every year, including the best heifer in the herd, and 

 besides being a nice animal, is good at the pail ; Wave Song, from 

 Mr. Meade- Waldo's, in addition to being of the same colour 

 as Weal Charity, has the same number of Booth crosses upon the 

 4th Duke of Northumberland cow. Likewise of Aylesby origin
