130 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Lady Cheerful, is an exceedingly fine heifer, worthy of the ancient 

 line of Broughtons, or Blisses, which she so creditably represents. 

 Lady Nancy, another daughter of Royal Stuart, is possessed of that 

 great natural flesh appertaining to the Warlaby cattle, and her first 

 born, Lady Nancy, a thick sappy heifer, not unlike her dam, is seen 

 in company with Morghana, the American bred Christen, now safe 

 in calf to Prince, although in breeding she is as "line bred" as any 

 of the Warlaby cattle, being by Royal George, a Christon bull, 

 exported to the States by Mr. Morgan, along with the grand-dam, 

 and dam of this heifer. Bridal Gift, by Mr. Ackers' Lord Prinknash 

 2nd, is from a daughter of Bridal Morn, by the renowned Cornmander- 

 in-Chief, the once only hope of the so much prized Halnaby or 

 Strawberry tribe, and alas ! the hopes are still but centered on a 

 couple. Bridal Gift, has had but one calf, Lord of Halnaby, a 

 promising roan by Fitz-Mowbray, and Bridal Queen, by that 

 excellent sire King James, is a wealthy fleshed, short legged cow, 

 with substance enough to shew that with healthy animals, and 

 judicious mating, line breeding does not necessarily mean delicate 

 constitutions, this is certainly one of the features at Warlaby, that 

 despite the line breeding so closely followed for generations, every 

 animal seen appeared perfectly healthy, with no lack of constitution. 

 With the exception of a couple of Christons, the rest of the fifteen 

 are Brights, and E-ibys, both however discontinued, and substituted 

 by various names ? no particular naming has been followed as to the 

 former, but the prefix of Royal distinguishes in the majority of 

 instances the latter, although we find that there are exceptions in a 

 few instances to this guidance. Royal Maiden, one of the few 

 daughters of the favourite Royal Benedict, and Riby Lassie (the 

 only one of the Ribys from which females are descended), has bred 

 eight calves, and is again near calving with a capital appearance of 

 milk ; and Royal Damsel, from Royal Lady, a daughter of Riby 

 Lassie's, we are informed never went dry between two of her calves. 

 One of the handsomest is Royal Matron, uniting both branches of 

 the family, through her sire Eastern Emperor, a grand-son of Bright 

 Empress, and Royal Dame, having recently calved is like her dam,
