136 SHORTHORN" HERDS OF KNGLAND. 



38646, and Baron Eyedale 10th 52483, sons of noted Bates bulls, 

 are all found in the ancestors of some of the animals in Mr. Loy's 

 posssession. Baron Costa, a home bred bull, by Baron Rose 50835, 

 from Eose of Keldhead, a lengthy young bull of good quality is in 

 service. The females comprise chiefly pedigrees of local celebrity, 

 one of the best cows being Laurel Wreath, a good red and white of 

 the old Duncombe Park blood, but Florentia Wetherby traces to 

 the Florentias, well known at Tortworth, and Didmarton, and 

 Mr. Loy has also several of the Cressidas, which when passing 

 through Lady Pigot's possession naturally received a strong infusion 

 of Booth blood. 



Two stations beyond Malton is Knapton, where at the Hall of 

 that name resides Mr. E. Tindall, whose first purchases Red Eose, 

 ^nd Bloom, were made in 1S59 from Mr. Samuel WiJey, ot Brandsby, 

 unfortunately the former was lost in calving. Two years later, 

 Integrity, (with the same foundation as Self Esteem 2nd) Miss 

 Spearman, and White Eose 2nd, also came from Brandsby, and the 

 owner has descendants of all the originals excepting Eed Eose. 

 Bulls were first obtained from Mr. Wiley, including his famous 

 Earl of Derby 21638. Lord Feversham's Cecil 25725, of the Chaff 

 tribe was purchased, and begot milkers, but his stock were considered 

 rather void of symmetry. Sampier 35466, and Sir Cyprian 

 40700, bred at Braithwaite Hall, were of Mr. Bruere's Eose family, 

 and his famous Vesper blood was introduced through Astral Prince 

 39386, whose son Alimondi 42660, succeeded him, his grandson 

 Blairmore 49156, has lately been in service, and at present Warlock, 

 an Aylesby W, considered one of the best of the Mertoun lot last 

 year, has his abode at The Elms Farm, where Mr. Tindall's 

 tenants, Messrs. J. and W. Scorsby have the use of him to a large 

 herd, composed entirely of the tribes owned by Mr. Tindall, many 

 of the females being bred by him. The portion of the estate in 

 the owner's possession comprises a choice piece of grass of not large 

 extent, but sufficient for the few good animals Mr. Tindall possesses. 

 Of Derwent Queen 2nd, Silver Thorn, and G-olden Star 2nd, the 

 last named is our favourite, a large framed magnificent fronted cow,
