SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. O 



Once more let us retrace our pen to what we saw at Wetherby 

 in November '85 : in the first box were a trio of youthful daughters 

 of Prince Airdrie, the roan from Ddrlingtina 9th being very pretty 

 and of great promise. Christmas Grtvynne, at the Ashton Hall 

 Sale in addition to being remembered by many present for her own 

 good looks, will also be borne in mind for the excellence of her 

 daughters by Prince Saladin, then brought before the public, she 

 came home in calf to him again, and Duke Grwynne, one of the two 

 sires in the herd, was the produce. Waterloo Duchess 5th, from 

 Thicket Priory, a cow with every appearance of general utility, 

 occupies the adjoining stall with Mild Ey-^s 15th, one of the few 

 calves left in England by 8th Duke of Tregunter sold to Mr. 

 Fisher, of Australia. Acombs No. 12 and 13 have the end 

 division, both recently calvsd their first-born, the former yields 

 three gallons par diem, and the latter having for her sire Earl of 

 Tregunter of Old Daisy renown, should certainly do as well, if the 

 repute of the sire's family is to be maintained. 



Winsome 19th by name a Winsome but not by birth, being 

 in reality a Bright Eyes a square built cow, bought at the last 

 Holker sale by Mr. Lynd (Col. Gunter's neighbour on the opposite 

 side of the River) had crossed the bridge, leaving a daughter 

 behind to mourn her loss. Age is beginning to tell upon Darling- 

 tina 9th, not too large but an exceedingly nice old cow of fine 

 character the best of the tribe in the herd. E-osalba and her bull- 

 calf by King Rudolf are the latest purchases, the owner speaks of 

 the matron as more Bateslike than any Booth he has ever seen, but 

 the son has quite the character of the rival house, as he persistently 

 runs round his dam it is difficult to get anything like a fair view of 

 him, yet he appeared a straight level calf, good in his thighs, 

 especially well sprung in his ribs, and shoulders well laid, but 

 in touch he is not perfection. Out of a quartette of calves, a red 

 broad backed heifer of the Princess bull's get from Miss Beverley 

 33rd, is worthv of some attention.
