S2 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Balmoral 39363, in 1868, from the same breeder. Since then Earl 

 of Stair 31083, a Waterloo, ftom Park Head, Baron Benson 4th 

 36157, bred at Bray ton, Duke Butterfly 39702, of the Townley 

 Brampton Bose tribe, and Lord Darlington 19th 45077, a son of the 

 4,500 guinea Duke of Connaught, have all been used in turn. 

 Princess of Lome, a daughter of Bride of Lome, the winner of the 

 Family honours at Shrewsbury, was purchased from Mr. Greo. 

 Ashburner, along with Duke Butterfly, and their joint produce, 

 Princess of Lome 3rd, a rare good cow, with a nice soft touch, is 

 the first animal seen, and Dame Warden 2nd, by the Holker Baron 

 Tregunter 33088, is likewise of good quality, but Silent Duchess, of 

 the Surmise tribe, and a daughter of Duke of Ormskirk, is certainly 

 more fashionable in her breeding, than either of the other t\vo, but 

 as much cannot be said for her good looks, whatever her capabilities 

 in the dairy may be. Eosebud 2nd, a capital dairy cow, is one of 

 Bosy's descendants, as are also the Rosy Duchesses, Red Roses, and 

 Lady Whimsicals. Out of four last spring calves, by Lord 

 Darlington 19th, a very pretty good coloured calf, from Princess of 

 Lorn 2nd, is the best of the lot. Then Duke of Charmingland 35th, 

 a two year old son of Duke of Barrington 10th, is led out. naturally 

 as his name and sire implies, his birthplace was Brailes, and with the 

 exception of being not quite so mellow in his touch as we should like, 

 he may be pronounced a very serviceable sire. In another building 

 is Princess of Lome 2nd, not the equal of her younger sister, 

 although having the advantage of an Holker Oxford sire; two roan 

 cows, mother, and daughter, are nice sort of cattle, with much the 

 same character. Sincerity 3rd, is a Sweetheart, of a branch formerly 

 connected with Sholebroke, and Lathom, and in Double Butterfly 

 2nd, one of the Butterfly Princesses from Scaleby, the " Princess," 

 it will be noticed in the naming, has been omitted. The two year 

 old heifers have to occupy stalls the same as the cows ; Lord 

 Darlington 19th, is the sire of eight, placed together. Lady 

 Rosamond 2nd, of a west country sort, going down to Mr. Charge's 

 Western Comet 689, is a very good looking heifer ; and Polly 5th, 

 a daughter of Duke Butterfly, is a grand one, of great size, very level,
