SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 73 



Kate, by British Boy, is the dam of a deeply made light roan heifer 

 calf, ver} full of hair, but the oldest sister hardly does credit to Mr. 

 John Booth's Banner Beater. Mr. Musgrave has a grand heifer in 

 Necklace, a still younger daughter of Louisa 7th, she is especially 

 well covered on her crops, has a capital rib and loin, is deep before, 

 with a nice feminine head. Moss Rose, a red and white of the old 

 Rosamond tribe, winner of several prizes, was one of the few animals 

 sent from Preston Hows to Mr. Fox's sale, and although advancing 

 in years, is still a handsome cow ; another good cow is Eliza, of the 

 Emma family, which in the hands of Mr. C. R. Saunders is associated 

 with the name of the Royal winner Edgar. Simon 50444, a son 

 of Mr. Handley's Master Ingrain, and a very useful bull, reigns 

 supreme at Stang Ends. 



On our way to St. Bees Abbey, we make a call at Blackhow, 

 within a mile of the " Northern Brighton," to see Mr. John Porter. 

 His cattle originally were of the useful Cumberland class, adapted 

 for dairying, and to withstand the rigours of the climate, since crossed 

 with good pedigree bulls, beginning with a son of Mr. Jonathan 

 Peel's Morisco 18421, which left such good stock that Mr. Porter 

 was induced to buy Fugleman 31207, from Mr. Caddy, of Roughclm, 

 by Mr. Tour's Waterloo Cherry 27763, he was succeeded by Monarch 

 37101, also from Rougholm, a son of Mr. T. E. Pawlett's Sultan. 

 Mr. Geo. J. Bell's herd, of The Nook, was next resoited to, and St. 

 Kentigen 40662, a Booth upon Mason, was purchased. Master 

 Ingram 45222, bred at Greenhead, by the noted Sir Arthur Ingram, 

 out of one of Mr. "W. S. Cragg's Lady Cawoods, was used betwixt 

 St. Kentigen, and General Graham 51310, another of Mr. Bell's 

 breeding, this is considered by his owner to be the best animal he 

 has ever used, certainly he is a well made level bull of good quality, 

 from having for his sire one of the Laurestina tribe, favourably 

 known in the East of the County, and for his dam, Early Rose, the 

 finest cow in Mr. Bell's herd, and an excellent bull breeder, he 

 should certainly do good service for any owner. Females were 

 bought at both Mr. John Bowman's, and Messrs. Gaitskell's sales,
