ancestress. Earl Spencer's N"o. 25 daughter of Richard 1376, having 

 the same commanding head, with excellent quality, a robust 

 constitution, and great milking properties. Bates blood had been 

 added for several generations, by Messrs. Bolden and Slye, a change 

 has now been tried by putting her to B^au Benedict, but her daughter, 

 Czarina 14th, is unseen, hiving gane to Golden Treasure, after 

 breeding an excellent red and white bull calf to Royal Ingram, but 

 one of the best heifers in the herd is Czirina loth, own sister to 

 Czarina 14th. A slightly different branch are the Golden Duchesses, 

 which comprise Golden Duchess 6th, a daughter of th^ first prize 

 calf at R. A. S. E. Birmingham in 1876. Rosebuds 2nd, and 3rd, 

 of local origin, are from a well known prize cow, Rosebud, the latter

 tribe, well topped with Booth sires, is the dam cf a roan bull calf, by 

 Cunobelin 41310, and two heifers seen at thb buildings away from 

 the house, are daughters of Baron Aylesby, and two Windsor's
