 for their milking properties, and Knightley 's Grand Duke 2nd 

 49836, bred at Weston Park, also of the Rosy tribe, is the sire of 

 many of the heifers. Mr. C. Hobbs' herd is well to the front in 

 the white Chorus 4th (of the same foundation as the better named 

 Musicals) and his neighbour Mr. Edmonds in Rose of France loth, 

 another very useful white, is also favourably represented. Frantic, 

 a daughter of Col. Kingscote's Oxford's Fane 34495, a fine up- 

 standing squarely framed cow belongs to the Florentias, once well 

 known and popular. Mr. Hobbs' herd has sent forth Bonny 12th,

 Princess 5th, bred by Mr. Casswell, is a stylish Bates like cow of 

 the Ursuline branch of the Lily Bells, and Duchess of Kent, of the

 Cass well's came also Fame, by Mr. Wood's Lord Chancellor 20160,

 good cows, and heifers, of great milking properties descended from 

 her. Countess of Wragby, famous in the St. Albans herd, was bred

 the Lunettes, obtained originally from Mr. Thos. Whiteside, in the 

 neighbourhood of Preston. Sweet Pea 53735, bred by Mr. J. Capel
