62 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



herself, has bred some particularly good heifers, and Duke of Waterloo 

 7th, a handsome bull thatj made 115gs. to Rose, Innes, & Co., for 

 South America, in April 1884, at Dringhouses; the youngest daughter 

 Waterloo Maid 6th, by Winsome Duke, is a rare thick calf, with 

 grand neck and chest, not unlike her older sister, the Fifth, a light 

 roan, of great depth and substance. There are also two more sisters, 

 the 3rd, a red and little white, by 48th Duke of Oxford, and the 4th, 

 own sister to the Fifth, and Sixth, a dark roan, thick and well made. 

 The Grand Waterloos also came from Wallington in the shape of 

 Grand Waterloo 4th, a four months old calf, by Duke of Oxford 27th, 

 the dam of Grand Waterloo 5ih, by Duke of B.irrington 8th, a very 

 fine lengthy cow, Grand Earl of Waterloo 2nd, a handsome youngster 

 sold at the recent Dringhouses sale, as well as an own brother, but a 

 week or two old, and Grand Waterloo 6th, unfortunately a white. These 

 Waterloos were formerly at Bi-ayton. before going to Nunwick, where 

 Sir Walter C. Trevelyan bought Waterloo 22nd, by Kildonan.

 the neighbouring County of Durham, at the Shotley Hall sale, her 

 youngest calf, Winsome Empress 4th, is a little beauty, and was one 

 of the group we so much admired in the Park. Winsome Duke, 

 her son by Duke of Oxford 48th, was freely used in the herd, and 

 left good stock, with such a dam and sister he could hardly do 

 otherwise. Winsome 23rd, bought at the last Holker sale, represents 

 the Bright Eyes's formerly at Sproatley Rise, no complaint can be 

 made by the owner of idleness, as it is but three years and three 

 months since her purchase, and Winsome Empresses 2nd, 3rd, and 

 oth, have all been added to the herd by her. The oldest, a dark roan, is 

 a straight level heifer, with Baron Oxford 12th for her sire. Wild 

 Princess 5th, a large framed massive cow, comes from Wild Oxford, 

 the same as the numerous Wild Duchesses of Geneva at Cragside, 

 and is the dam of Wild Princess 7th. The Princesses have been 

 extraordinarily prolific, from Princess Sale, a three months old calf 

 at the Underley sale in 1874 purchased by Sir John Swinburne for
