54 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



ever will breed, as she has on two or three occasions disappointed her 

 owner by going a considerable time and then coming in season, she 

 is by Royal Saxon, from Bright Lady of the Realm (imported into 

 this country,) by Mr. Cochrane's famous Star of the Realm, a bull 

 that made $6,100 in the States. 



Bright Lodestar, a red and white, is half-sister to Bright Spring, 

 by Mr. Torr's Lord Lamech, and was the highest priced lot at Mr. 

 Elliot's in August '84. Victoria Fulgida, a very pretty dark red was 

 bred by Lady Pigot, by the Bracelet bull Constellation 28243, from 

 her well known show cow Victoria Victrix. The " Victoria" appears 

 dropped in the naming of the female produce at Barmoor, as Vanessa, 

 and Veronica, are the names of two young cows, neither three years

 cow which in fact she gives every appearance of doing, the former 

 by King Malcolm, has plenty of size for her age, with a nice taking 

 head and horn. Flower Wreath, was purchased by Mr. Jacob Wilson 

 at the sale, but a tempting profit induced him to leave her ; she had 

 bred her owner nothing but bulls before he included her in his sale

 pretty calf already mentioned. In conclusion we may congratulate 

 Mr. Meade- Waldo on having a very select well bred herd, certainly 

 not large so far as numbers go, but a few years time, and fair good 

 luck will remedy this. 



From Barmoor we cross the country to Chillingham, so noted 

 for its breed of wild cattle, and at Chillingham Barns, Mr. Jacob 

 Wilson, so familiar a name in the annals of the Royal Agricul- 

 tural Society, keeps a few well bred shorthorns of Booth blood. 

 Before referring to the cattle we cannot do better than mention the 

 owner's services to British Agriculture generally, especially his 

 efforts in conjunction with the late Mr. T. C. Booth to prevent the 

 introduction of contagious diseases into this country, and the passing
