bull, winner of ten first prizes, and descended from lied Rosette, 

 both left capital stock Mr. Morley informs us. Brier 47507, an 

 Irish bred Medora bull, from Mr. Reynell's of Co. Westmeath, has 

 been in use the last four seasons with success ; and Mr. Morley has 

 again been to the Emerald Isle for a successor, and found Earl of 

 Ulster, of the same tribe, in Mr. James Watt's herd at Claragh, Co. 

 Donegal. He is red and little white, with great length and depth,

 Lambert having entries as early as volume 6, one of the first sires 

 of note used was Master of Annandale 14916, bred by Messrs.
