STTORTflORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 95 



small herd, when sold at the George Hotel, Penrith, this the only 

 daughter she bred, has heifers of 1880, and 1882, in the same byre, 

 and one of 1884. among-t the younger cattle. Lady Rosalind, the 

 oldest, is by Baron Turncroft Bates 3rd, but her sister, Lady Eliza- 

 beth, is considered the better animal. Then we have Early Rose, 

 one of Mr. Mark Stewart's Brilliants, a fine handsome cow, very 

 lengthy and straight, the best in the herd, further she exemplifies 

 the old saying of " handsome is that handsome does," as she has bred 

 a lot of capital bulls, and a good daughter. Captain Boycott, her 

 son, was third at the Royal at York, General Graham, was sold to 

 Mr. Porter, and has been already noticed at Blackhow, while New 

 Year's Gift, passed into Mr. C. W. Brierley's hands, at the October 

 sale, at Bingley Hall. Lucy's Darling, and Lucy's Pet, are sisters of 

 1880, and 1881, of the original Knock sort, the former a neat straight 

 cow, but the latter the better at the pail, giving 54| quarts per week 

 for 46 weeks. Butterfly's Mememto 5th, one of the few cows now

 over the twelve months, and Butterfly's Christmas Mememto, not 

 yet a week. Cherry Gwynne 5th, a pretty little cow, not one of Xell 

 Gwynne's descendants, as many might suppose, traces through Mr. 

 Robert Jefferson's, and Dr. Dickinson's hands, to Lady, by Young 

 Western Comet 1575. Evelina, by an Holker Oxford sire, from a 

 dam of the Emma family, which produced the famous Edgar, has the 

 best record of Mr. Bell's cows, having been in milk 48 weeks, and 

 given 60 \ quarts per week. Prudence, by the same sire, a large 

 framed useful like animal, is one of the few that Mr. Bell has a com- 

 plete account of the second years produce, and the slight difference 

 is in favour of the first year. Marion Lee, and her two daughters, 

 are the representatives of a family with but five crosses, ending 

 with Myrtle, by Mr. T. Bates' Disraeli 10125. Brilliant Rose, the 

 good daughter of Early Rose, before mentioned, has hardly the 

 size of the dam, and in the last stall, are a couple of 

 Alderneys. Fawsley Gwynne, bred at Inglewood, and the
