SHORTHOEN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 63 



370gs, no less than twelve females now descend, in addition to one 

 sold, and General Sale llth, has arrived in the male line, so a record 

 of twenty four animals bred from a three months old calf, bought 

 eleven years ago last September, is not so very bad for highbred 

 shorthorns. The original purchase was by 2nd Duke of Tregunter, 

 from Lord Bective's favourite cow, Lady Sale of Putney, she is still 

 alive, and last month had her seventh cow calf, Empress Sale 7th, to 

 Duke of Oxford 69th. Princess Sale, was sent for service to Duke 

 of Underley, and Countess Sale, the produce, is down calving with 

 a good show for milk; Countess Sale 2nd, another daughter, has also 

 every appearance for milk, but with somewhat small teats. Princess 

 Sale 3rd, and Countess Sale 3rd, mother and daughter, are a pair of 

 useful looking cows, while Empress Sales 5th, and 6th, by Winsome 

 Duke, are a promising pair of '85 calves, the latter from Countess 

 Sale 2nd, is own sister to the steer that had taken a first in the 

 yearling class at the recent exhibition at Bingley Hall. 



Countess of Barrington 12th, a rather small but pretty cow, 

 with her daughter, the Thirteenth, spring from the Lady Barringtons 

 formerly in Mr. Kobarts's herd at Lillingstone Dayrell, since then, 

 Havering Park, and Holker, have each been their birthplaces before 

 coming into Northumberland. Lady Foggathorpe 2nd, a light roan 

 of 1881, is out of Graffin Foggathorpe 12th, obtained from Mr. Geo. 

 Graham's ; this cow is the oldest of the three Foggathorpes, her 

 sister, the Fifth, is however the pick of the family, and the Fourth, 

 a good fronted heifer with a lot of style, is wanting in her thighs. 

 The Fantails of Bell-Bates origin have Fantail's Duchess, by 9th 

 Duke of Geneva, from the Barleycorn cow at their head, and three 

 very nice young heifers coming forward, all by Baron Oxford 12th. 

 The Cleopatras, beautifully bred, have still Caroline 5th, one 

 of the original purchases from Mr. Angerstein's amongst them. 

 Carolines 6th, and 8th, are her daughters, to Duke of Barrington 8th, 

 and Winsome Duke. Since Earl of Dublin, the sire of the original 

 Cleopatra, there have been added Prince of Glos'ter, bred at Holker, 

 Lord Oxford, and 10th Grand Duke, used at Holker, and Duke Lally, 

 a strictly pure Lally bull ; such blood as this might well be tried by
