SHORTHORN HEKDS OF ENGLAND. 97 



a daughter of Mr. Thompson's Eoyal Baron, is a very pietty calf. 

 The older sister, bred twin heifers after coining to Arrnathwaite, to 

 that excellent sire Beau Benedict, named Belles of the Butterflies 

 2nd, and 3rd, the one named the Third, and we presume by that the 

 last born, is a very deep massive heifer, but hardly so much can be 

 said of her sister. Blanche Butterfly, is from Fair Butterfly's 

 daughter, Brunette Butterfly, and has a calf of 1885 by Baron Eden. 

 Of a slightly different branch is Eose Butterfly, a grand-daughter of 

 Butterfly's Memento 2nd, bred at Townley, half-sister to the dam of 

 Fair Butterfly, with the advantage of a fashionable Oxford cross, 

 supplemented by the pure Earl of Thorndale, before arriving at 

 Brilliant Butterfly, a Barmpton Hose, bred at Inglewood, the sire of 

 Eose Butterfly. At the great sale at Townley in 1864, twenty two 

 females of this family averaged 86gs. a piece, the highest priced lot 

 in the sale being a Barmpton Eose heifer. Eoyal Butterfly's Pageanb, 

 sold to Mr. Eastwood for 590gs, again when a second Townley herd 

 was dispersed in 1873, the average of the tribe, nineteen in number, 

 was only six guineas less than the previous sale. The animals 

 purchased at Edgehill, descend from Frederick's Pride, a daughter 

 of that famous getter Frederick, more recently Booth blood has been 

 added by both Mr. Staniforth, and Mr. Eobinson. Barmpton Eose 

 6th, a capital dairy cow, by a Village Eose bull of Mr. Jefferson's, 

 came accompanied by her three heifers, Barmpton Eoses 8th, 9th, and 

 10th, all with further crosses of Booth blood. TheFarnley *' Moss Eose" 

 tribe are well represented by Inglewood Eose 2nd, Inglewood Eose 

 4th, and Eare Eose, the last named, a very grand heifer, as being 

 the youngest, is naturally seen under the most favoured circumstances, 

 and thegrand-dam it may be added is good atthe pail. Charming Cicely, 

 a daughter of Beau Benedict, and Braw Cicely, of a family formerly 

 in Mr. E. B. Brockbank's possession, also came from Inglewood, and 

 since her arrival, has added one more to the list of females in Mr. 

 Ecroyd's possession. Ehoda 6t h, looking wonderfully well, has a good 

 daughter in Eden Ehoda, own sister to Baron Eden. Of the more 

 recent purchases. Oxford Eose 4th, with the same foundation as the 

 Inglewood Eoses, is the best of the Edenhall heifers, and Deepdale 

 4th, having only had her first calf, is seen at the worst possible age.
