142 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Owen's sale in 1855. Waterloos of three varieties in the female 

 line could have been seen with time at our disposal, viz. the Water 

 Duchesses from Mr. Maynaid's, and one each of the Lady Waterloo, 

 and Nunwick branches. Rembrandt 13587, bred at Townley, winner 

 of sixteen cups and prizes, was used by Mr. Barber in early days, 

 and when the sale took place in 1862. his son Master Eernbrandt 

 16545, from Miss Feathers, was the sire of many of the heifers, 

 and most of the females were served by either of the To \vnley bred 

 bulls, Royal Butterfly 3rd 1S754, or Frederick's Grandson 17881. 

 Since that date Bates bulls have always been in service, and 

 included Beau of Oxford 21254, Oxford's Baronet 29499, sons of 

 the imported Belle of Oxford 2nd, and Maid of Oxford (5th. 

 Grand Duke 6th 198/6, bred at Springfield, and his home bred 

 son Cherry Duke 25753, from Cherry Duchess 8th, and in Baron 

 Wild Eyes 33109, a son of Baron Oxford 4th 25580, and Prince of 

 Glo'ster 40317, of Duke of Glo'ster 5th 36494 (own brother to 

 Duke of Glo'ster 7th used at Holker), we have two more home 

 bred sires before Lord Feversham's Winsome Duke 2nd 48971 the 

 predecessor of Duke of Waterloo 8th was purchased. 



After our return from Holderness, crossing over to the newly 

 opened line of the Hull, Barnsley, and West Riding Junction 

 Railway, the second fetation is Willerby and Kirk Ella, near which 

 is Mr. J. 8. Egginton's pretty place, The Elms, and the last few 

 years his name has appeared as a purchaser at several of the short- 

 horn sales. Una 13th, a good looking Uisula heifer, and Sunbeam, 

 of the Sweetheart family, by Mr. R. Pavin Davies' Grand Duke of 

 Glo'ster 36721, came with her cow calf from Ulceby Grange. 

 Red Rose 27th, and Verbina 9th, were bought in Cumberland at the 

 Eden Hall sale, the former of a good local sort in the east of that 

 county, and the latter bred through Mr. J. W. Phillips' herd of 

 Heybridge. The most recent additions are two Booth cows, bred 

 by Mr. R. S. Bruere, and naturally full of his Vesper blood ; it is 

 Mr. Egginton's intention to continue the Booth blood, and not to 

 cross them with his Bates sire Lord of Hougomont 2nd 4995'j, a 

 roan son of Prince of Kiiklevington 45392, and JNawton Duchess
