SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 115 



handsome group, of which Lucida, a fine, short legged cow, of rare 

 depth in front, carries herself in queenly style, as does Loo Gruion, 

 the possessor of a wonderfully attractive head ; Loo Olive, is straight, 

 and truly formed, Lucinda, certainly good, and Loo Edlingham, 

 perhaps as fine a cow as any in th3 herd. Of the rest, Lone Bell, 

 own sister to Lobisa, a nice old lady, and the matron of the tribe, is 

 very level ; her daughter, Loquacity, is one of the best of the 

 Barrister heifers, which have calved, and of the yearlings by him, 

 Lucidity, a beautiful roan, is full of style, and the most admired. 

 When Cowslip 3rd. was purchased at Mr. Robert Bell's sale, she 

 was the highest priced lot, excepting Phoebe, and there are now a 

 dozen descendants from her here, including Cousin C., one of the 

 most evenly made, and shorthorn like animals, Mr. Stevenson 

 possesses, while Copper Lady, a short legged, good sort, and 

 Consequence, a square framed cow, are daughters of Duke of 

 EdHngham 3rd, the latter being the dam of the prettiest of eight cow 

 calves running with their mothers in the pastures. Three other 

 tribes have their home at Raiuton, namely Mr. Maynard's Ros.imonds, 

 of which family is seen an excellent heifer ; the Rougholm Grwynnes, 

 great favourites in their district, and the Frolic branch of the Fidgets, 

 only number a brace each. Frolic's Duchess, by Duke of Glo'ster 

 5th, a grand-daughter of Frolic 4th, imported into this country 

 by Mr. Rd. Gribson, is considered one of the owner's best dairy 

 cows, and her son, Frank Baxby, was used occasionally by him in 

 the herd. 



On reaching Allerton Station, on the North Eastern between 

 Harrogate and Knaresboro,' we proceed to Lord Mowbray and 

 Stourton's Home farm, where the breeding of young bulls has been 

 the special feature of the herd, and certainly the healthy useful lot 

 of dairy cows here seen, give us the impression that their sons 

 would do credit to the shorthorn race, almost wherever they might 

 go. Unfortunately Mr. Ellison has been unavoidably called away 

 on business, and we are compelled to rest content with merely the 

 tribes to which the cows belong, without their exact names, the
