herdsman being unable to supply these particulars, as it has been the 

 custom to follow on with numbers since, Juno 3rd, a grand-daughter, 

 and Eosarnond 3rd, a great grand-daughter, of Rose, by Chancellor 

 1809, were purchased at Mr. Ellison's sale at Sizergh Castle, in the 

 County of Westmoreland, and Duke of Eichmond 10151), the foun- 

 dation cross of a family known as the *' Bessies " was purchased from 

 the same breeder. Sting 15345, and Abbot 14054, were of better 

 breeding than their names imply, being of tho Barmpton Eose, and 

 Old Daisy tribes. Mr. C. L. Ellison's Western Wonder 17225, and 

 Mr. J. Grundy's Hesperus 18062, are both of the Mason Victoria 

 family, of which there are also female representatives in the herd 

 descended from Mr. Carr's Victorine ; then from the fine old homes 

 of shorthorns at Marton-le-Moor, and Townley, came Eose Duke 

 22760, and The Drum 20040. Booth blood was introduced through 

 the Hon. Gr. Lascelles' Golden Horn 31267, as it has been again by 

 the recent purchasa from Carperby, of Prince Edgar 51882, a son of 

 Major Windsor 34739, and Princess Alice, of Mr. Willis' Lily tribe, 

 a young bull, wonderfully deep in his flank and good on his loin, 

 with an excellent touch. The predecessor was one of Mr. J. H. 

 Cassweli'j Kirklevington bulls known as the Laughton Dukes. 



Not far away from Borough bridge is Spellow Hill, the residence 

 of Mr. W. C. Stobart, who has recantly been a buyer at several of 

 the sales ; from Mr. Blun dell's came Oxford Lactea, a handsome roan, 

 with quite the true shorthorn character, of Sir Charles Knightley's 

 Eosy tribe, as well as Lady Nancy, a highly bred Surmise heifer. 

 The newest arrival is Bushbury Countess Barrington, a daughter of 

 Grand Duke 37th, and Lady Emily Barrington, of the famous " Laurel" 

 branch of the Barrington tribe, bought at the dispersion of the Low 

 Hill herd. Double Glo'ster 51085, Mr. Stobart's stock sire, bred by 

 Mr. J. Gr. At t water, who generally exhibits a lot of very useful 

 young bulls at Bingley Hall, is a deap chested masculine like animal, 

 if any thing a little short in his hind quarters, but Kirklevington 

 Count 2nd, a very promising young sire, has since been purchased 

 at the Osgodby sale to succeed him.
