Knight 33220, afterwards the sire of Lady Pamela,, and when a 

 reserved of 250gs. was announced in the sale catalogue of 1876, it had 

 no deterrent effect on buyers, as a purchaser was found at SOOgs ; 

 evidently well satisfied with the Village Kose tribe, Cunobelin 

 41310, a son of King James 28971, and British Queen, sister to the 

 dam of British Knight, has been purchased, a white in colour, he is 

 considered by his owner to resemble in head and horn, the well 

 known Windsor, and is a good all round Booth bull. 



After the last sale, but few females were retained along with 

 Cunobelin for the future herd, advantage has since been taken of 

 the sales at Broughton, and Knowlsmere, to add two fresh soits to 

 the herd for trial on the high lying pastures in Mr. Toppin's 

 possession. Cornelia, bred by Mr. J. How. of the Farewell tribe, is 

 a fine level cow, with a capital rib and loin, evenly covered with 

 good flesh. The handsomest beast in the herd is Golden Butterfly, 

 a very grand animal, in the very height of her beauty, and a great 

 favourite of the owner, it would be difficult to find fault with her, a 

 young cow of great scale, and substance, she is very compact, and 

 having recently calved has a good show for milk. Mr. Toppin at 

 his last sale parted with her as a doubtful breeder, but being bought 

 by a neighbour he had the advantage of repurchasing her, and if 

 there is any truth in " like producing like " he will have no cause to 

 regret it. Pearl Locket, and Comely Cressida, are of two good 

 north country sorts, the former familiar with Nun wick, and the latter 

 more southwards, in the hands of Dr. Dickinson, while Golden 

 Plume, and Golden Bracelet, two of the Aylesby G's, are grand- 

 daughters of Golden Queen (sold as Lot 1. at the dispersion of the 

 late Mr. Unthank's herd for 120gs), through two half-sisters. A 

 very promising roan heifer, by the Warlaby Royal Studley, from 

 Cornelia, is in company with the newly dropped calf, from the 

 Butterfly cow. Marmalade, from Knowlmere, is a well ribbed 

 heifer, but of no great size, while Water Nymph llth, traces to the 

 same foundation through Mr. Brace well's herd, a not far away 

 neighbour of the owner of Knowlmere. Amongst the few young 

 things. Calceolaria, by Royal Baldersby, came along with Cornelia,
