SHORTHORN HERBS OF ENGLAND. 91 



28182, bred by Mr. W. W. Slye, and Marquis llth 45210, by the 

 Earl of Bective, both of the famous Kirklevington tribe, have been 

 used, and Cherry Duke of Holker 42921, a fine looking Bates bull, 

 is at the head of the herd, which position he has occupied for some- 

 time, he is a grandson of that beautiful heifer, Cherry Queen, 

 pui chased by Mr. J. W. Larking, for l,200gs, at the Underley sale 

 in 1874. A colleague has lately been found for him in Grand Earl 

 of Waterloo 2nd 51357, a very handsome, level young bull, in 

 walking, he steps out well, and has a gay dashing carriage, bred at 

 Capheaton, he is a son of Baron Oxford 12th, and Grand 

 Waterloo 4th. 



Quite a strong contingent of the Jelly Flower tribe, are the first 

 to hand, among the females. Jelly Flower 17th, is the last calf of 

 the Killhow purchase, and there is a particularly wealthy heifer of 

 which we appear not to have ascertained the number, the b^st of the 

 family. Butterfly Queen, is a strong fine looking cow of the 

 Butterfly Princesses. The Wild Eyes have three branches, the 

 fashionable Lady Worcesters, the descendants, numbering seven, of 

 Wild Eyes 33rd, and 35th, exclusive of the latter, a fine dairy like 

 cow, with a capital udder, still breeding regularly, the youngest born, 

 a roan cow calf, of October, being the 45th, in addition she is the 

 dam of the 38th, and 40th, both somewhat plain in their quarters. 

 Lady Worcester Wild Eyes 2nd, bred by Mr. R. Lodge, a good 

 medium sized cow, with nice skin, and touch, has two heifers by the 

 Cherry Duke bull, the younger is very promising, and has already 

 been mentioned as seen at Blaithwaite, after Mr. Pattinson Dal ton 

 had dispersed the herd under the hammer. The third branch is 

 Lady Wild Eyes 10th, a daughter of Lord Braybrooke's Duke of 

 Rosedale 6th, is one of the few pure specimens of the tribe, and was 

 cheaply purchased at the Lathom sale. The Peach Blossoms, of the 

 Bell Bates, Place, or Poppy family, have two lengthy, good looking 

 representatives in Peach Blossoms 14th, and 17th. Another Bell 

 Bates tribe, the Fletchers, are well to the fore in Duchess Fantail 

 3rd. No cow stands nearer to the ground than Royal Butterfly 

 Princess 2nd, a somewhat gaudy daughter of Duke of Siddington,
