SHOKTHOUN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 81 



Head, and Waterloo 37th, a neat little cow, has not long given birth 

 to Wild Eyes Waterloo, a charming roan in colour. Waterloo 38th, 

 by the Holker Baron Winsome 8th, is from the Thirty Fifth, also 

 the dam of Waterloo 37th, and which when taken out to South 

 America by Mr. Mattinson unfortunately died on the voyage. The 

 Cameos, formerly at Townley, descend from Cressida's daughter 

 Cameo, by Jeweller 10354, and Frederick, Duke of Clarence, and 

 Baron Oxford 5th, are included in the sires of Cornelian's pedigree, 

 which with Cornelia, and Carcanet, complete the family at Mereside. 

 The Eed Duchesses, and Messrs. Angus' Lame Cow tribe, have two 

 representatives each, both are full of good old Jobling and Colling 

 blood, a red and white heifer calf of the former family is the best 

 out of eight together, all of Duke of Eamont's get. Euby 24th, by 

 the Duke of Devonshire's Baslow 30507, a son of the noted bull 

 breeder, Countess of Barrington 4th, is a large framed useful cow, 

 the dam of the Twenty Sixth, considered by the owner the best of 

 three heifers seen together, by his Oxford Waterloo. Mr. Todd has 

 of recent years used bulls of fashionable Bates blood, including Grand 

 Duke of Lio-htburne 2nd 26291, and Baron Oxford 5th 27958. 

 At present Duke of Eamont, a son of Duke of Underley 33745, and 

 Winsome Colleen, is doing service, looking healthy and vigorous ; a 

 Bates bull all over, he has been briefly described " as handsome as he 

 is well bred," with a dam like Winsome Colleen, and those celebrated 

 bulls, Duke of Underley, and Duke of Connaught, for sire, and 

 grandsire, hardly less could be expected. 



Advancing nearer the Solway from Mereside, we arrive in due 

 course at The Tarns, where Mr. Holliday has collected together 

 a herd of useful shorthorns, a number of which are descended from 

 Eosy, bought about 1860, from Mr. Little, of Fitz Farm, near 

 Aspatria, but neither cow, nor sire, had further record than that the 

 latter was bred by Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the former was afterwards 

 sent to Mr. Beswick's General Havelock 16118, and produced 

 Primrose, which name is found in all the branches of this family. 

 The first pedigree sire bought by Mr. Holliday was Valentine 23107, 

 which came from Mr. Unthank's in 1865, he was followed by
