Windsor, and Royal Irvvin, being the two above him. Did You 

 Ever 30874, succeeded him, and was brother to Duke of Howl John, 

 who followed next, all three bred by the Messrs. Tickers, at Stanhope. 

 From cows brought from his parental home Mr. John Vickers's herd 

 is descended ; the family of the ' ; noble Duke " must have precedence, 

 which is represented by his daughter, Lady Manfred 2nd, and a 

 heifer from her, Queen Athole, by Blair Athol, the former is a very 

 fine lengthy cow, but the latter is wanting in the same good quality 

 as the dam possesses. 



Meadow Rose, a daughter of Did You Ever, is a rare old milking 

 sort, and another excellent daughter of this bull is Lady Wild Eyes, 

 the mother of Purity, Lady Like, and Wild Flower. Two of the

 of a future before him, his sire, it may be mentioned, bred at 

 Catchburn, was sold to Mr. W. Handley. Veteran, a well fleshed, 

 light roan, bred at Hartforth, and purchased from Mr. Outluvaite by 

 Mr. Vickers, has baen exhibited locally the past season with success. 

 Acolyte, of good colour, and full of hair, has been a joint puchase 

 with Mr. Angus, of Bearl, from the Storrs herd, he is a highly bred 

 Medora, by Lord Protector, out of Recluse. 



Within ten minutes walk of Chevington Station, Mr. J. W. 

 Annett, at West Chevington, has a small herd mostly of the much 

 appreciated Messrs. Angus's blood, begun in 76 by the purchase of 

 Lilywhite, and White Rose 2nd, of the Sprightly and Premium 

 tribes, half sisters, by Mr. W. Torr's Mountain Hero, these cows
