SF1ORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 35 



from Canada by Mr. A. H. Browne, was sold at the dispersion of 

 his herd along with her heifer .Fair Ellen, both were secured by Mr. 

 Booth, previous to that when Mr. Cochrane sent the majority of 

 his Booth shorthorns to be sold at Millbeckstock in '77, Welcome 

 Lady, Lady of the Lake's daughter by Banner Bearer, came with 

 them, and was purchased for Killerby. At the present time it is 

 safe to say that no females of the Hecuba tribe exist in England, 

 except in this herd and Mr. John Fielden's. King of Trumps, now 

 past his thirteenth year still retains some of his old form, and is 

 one of the last sons of K. C. B., being own brother to Queen of 

 Diamonds. Paul Potter, almost ten years of age, one of Royal 

 Benedict's get, has only been home a month from Hackthorne, he 

 has been a capital stock getter like King of Trumps, and is still 

 good looking and useful. At present Royal Studley, a son of Royal 

 Stuart, and Royal Lady, is the Warlaby sire in use, unfortunately a 

 damaged horn detracts somewhat from his appearance. 



Vain Lassie, a roan G-eorgie, by Royal Stuart, and Queen of 

 Rubies, out of Queen of Diamonds, the latter a good all-round heifer 

 are awaiting shipment to South America. Out of three young heifers, 

 Queen Bridget, Volatile, and Reigning Belle, our choice is Volatile, a 

 G-eorgie, which is afterwards verified by the public. Regal Lady, 

 has but calved in the morning the roan bull calf by Marquis, which was 

 afterwards to be the pick of the youngsters when the herd was 

 dispersed. Princess Beatrice, the oldest daughter of Princess 

 Brigantine, is a good hsavy fleshed, short legged cow, at present 

 down calving to old King of Trumps. Two roan bull calves by 

 King Magnus, are from Paul Potter dams. Passing on to the 

 heifers, the first with a double cross of Hecuba on Royal Benedict, 

 is not so good as Welcome Princess, a wide ribbed, well topped red 

 and white, with three crosses of the same blood on the 500 guinea 

 Lady of the Lake. Queen of Scotia, and Princess Royal, are two 

 more good heifers, the latter a Royal Stuart out of Princess 

 Brigantine, an exceedingly handsome one, strikes us as the best of 

 the lot. Then back to the elder cows, and we have Merry Spring, 

 Merry Moonlight, and Merry Morn, all daughters of Royal
