SITOTITHORN HKRDS OF KXOLAND. S{) 



during the coming autumn, there can be no question that bids will 

 come freely for so promising a specimen of this famous tribe. In 

 the large well ventilated byre are two sisters of the Surmise family, 

 both extremely good. May Surprise, the older, by Duke of Underley, 

 is a healthy, good fleshed cow, deep before, but Silver Surpiise, a 

 roan, is the more fascinating of the two, wonderfully straight and 

 even throughout. Princess of the Valley, purchased at the dispersion 

 of Mr. Lodge's herd, is a very highly bted specimen of her tribe, 

 being from a grand-daughter of Princess 2nd, sold at the Killhow 

 sale, in 1868, to Mr. Brogden,for 300gs, unfortunately phe has bred her 

 owner nothing but bulls. Lady Elinor Waver, is the oldest of three 

 sisters, from Winsome Beauty, bought at Lathom, of Mr. Barber's 

 Bright Eyes branch of the Wild Eyes tribe, while Winif rid Winsome, 

 unfortunately white, is a direct descendant of Winsome, and possesses 

 a nice feminine head, and horn. The Gwynnes, represented by 

 some large framed fine cows, showing size, quality, and constitution, 

 as' well as milk, are headed by Eoss Gwynne 2nd, so called on 

 account of her breeder, Mr. Eoss, who bought old Polly Gwynne, for 

 28gs, at the 1868 sale, she bred him two heifers, to Eoyal Cambridge, 

 and at fifty a piece they found their way to Killhow, where they 

 have been a small fortune, paying more than " cent per cent," all their 

 descendants have the prefix of "Eoyal" and the Fifteenth, is the 

 latest born out of Eoyal Gwynne 5th, a lengthy handsome cow, one 

 of the finest of the tribe, if not of the herd. Eoyal Gwynnes 3rd, 

 5th, and 6th, are own sisters, by Duke of Ormskirk, out of Eoss 

 Gwynne 2nd, the last named only calved a week, has an excellent 

 show for milk. The Biddenham branch are from Orange Gwynne, 

 the highest priced cow at the sale into 1870, being sold to Mr. E. 

 Gibson, for Messrs. Walcott and Campbell, Mr. Foster securing her 

 daughter, from which Lady Elinor Gwynne, and Lady Ehona Gwynne, 

 a pair of good looking roans, are descended. Hetty Concord, and 

 Dainty 5th, represent the Charmer, and Duchess Nancy tribes, 

 the latter's pedigree being highly impregnated with Duchess blood. 



Oxford Duchess of Killhow 3rd, from Grand Duchess of 

 Oxford 31st, the calf bought by Mr. Drewry, at the Whitehall sale, 

 out of the " 2,000 guinea cow," and resold to Mr. Foster, is
