70 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Meeting ; this cow had Beauty's Butterfly 23399, used in the herd 

 who got White Socks, herself a winner, and the dam of Prince 

 Imperial 42184, sold to Mr. T. Nelson, who won first in the two 

 year old class with him, when the Royal was at Carlisle, beating 

 Mr. Handley's Master Harbinger. The more recant sires have been 

 of Booth blood. Killerby Star 40045, was out of Killerby Queen, 

 bred by Mr. J. B. Booth, and he was succeeded by Bret Harte 41 130, 

 of the famous Hecuba tribe, bought from Mr. A. H. Browne, of 

 Callaly Castle. At present in service is Sir Mod red, bred at 

 Barmuor, a roan son of Sir Wilfrid, and Lady of the Maze, seen at 

 Mr. Leadbitter's. 



When Mr. Lambert's neighbour, Mr. Wm. Langhorn, sold his 

 herd two years ago, a selection was sent from Elrington Hall, so the 

 herd is not now very strong in numbers. Regent's Princsss, a red 

 and white daughter of Mr. J. B. Booth's Prince Regent, is a good 

 style of a shorthorn, one of the best in the herd, and has bred Lady 

 Alberta, a heifer that has been exhibited during the past summer, 

 and not long gone to Denmark. Young Diana, another Prince 

 Regent cow, was one of Mr. Langhorn's animals at the East Mill 

 Hills sale, and has been wisely secured from her then purchaser by 

 Mr. Lambert. Belle of Dei* went, is the mother of the prize winning 

 Princess Alice, now the property of Mr. A. Metcalfe-Gribson, and in 

 her 13th year has bred Belle of the Ball, to Bret Harte. Hespera, 

 and Bracelet, are of pure Booth lineage, the former bred by Lady 

 Pigot, has only the orthodox four crosses, but sires of such breeding 

 as Rex, Opoponax, Lord Blithe, and Knight of Warlaby, are not 

 to be despised. The heifers are by Bret Harte ; Ringlet, from 

 Regent's Rosedale, is of the same branch of the Rosamonds as Mr. 

 T. H. Miller's prize winning family of Ringlets, but our favourite is 

 Royal Princess, a very straight good heifer, out of Regent's Princess. 

 Amongst the younger generation the prettiest and best looking is 

 Lucy, by Sir Modred, purchased privately from Mr. J. JST. Maughan, 

 she is very promising, and we shall be surprised if she is not heard 

 of another day.
