Another border family are the "Blainslies" bought at the late Mr. 

 Simpson's sale at Blainslie in '74, in the shape of a yearling heifer, 

 Windsor's Bride, by Mr. T. Willis's Windsor's Bridegroom 30325, full 

 brother to his Smithfield Champion, Bride of Windsor. These are large 

 framed robust cattle, especially Windsor's Bride 2nd, and Eoyal 

 Bride, breeding well to Booth bulls. 



The Angus blood is again represented, this time by the Gaieties, 

 brought into note by the excellence of the family at the Broomley sale 

 in 1878, where Gaiety and her five daughters averaged .111 13s. 

 each, and since by the victories of one of the daughters, Gaiety 3rd, 

 sold at Broomley to Lord Tankerville's agent, and Mr. Patten, though 

 he fought hard, had to wait until Lord Tankerville's herd were 

 dispersed before he secured her for Alnwick, where she now is seen, 

 looking well, and in calf, mention is made of her victories in noticing 

 her son, Gay Baronet, at Eden Grove, there are also two heifers from 

 her in the herd, Gaiety's Pearl and Gay Princess. Her sister, 

 Gaiety 5th, bought at the Broomley sale, has never been exhibited 

 except in store condition, in which state a first w r as credited to her when 

 at the County Show at Berwick, unfortunately she has now hurt her 

 stifle joint, but it is not difficult to see what a fine cow she has been 

 in her prime. Lady Carew 7th, bred at Prinknash, is by King 

 Harold, out of Lady Jane, and closely rented to Mr. Ackers's prize 

 winning Lady Carews, a red bull calf by Royal Mowbray, is suckling 

 her. Lady Helen, came into Northumberland with Lady Carew 7th, 

 to Mr. Swan's, of Bedlington, from whom Mr. Patten bought them, 

 although Mr. Ackers bred from her Trojan, a Eoyal winner at 

 Beading, yet her breeder was Mr. G. J. Bell, of The Nook, and her 

 dam Lady Pigot's La Belle Helene, a grand-daughter of Lady Sarah, 

 by Baron Warlaby 7812. Flower of Spring, is the only one of the 

 Aylesby Flower tribe, and was unable to be seen, along with a few 

 more heifers, on account of darkness overtaking us in our inspection, 

 and these were still further away than Bassington, she was bought 

 at the Barmoor sale, and is from that beautiful cow Flower of June, 

 sold for 250gs. the same day to the Rev. Thos. Stauiforth.
