SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLANJX 157 



from Aylesby, Burghley, Duncombe, Farnley, Lenton, Osberton, 

 Preston Hall, and Wiseton, had been in service. Since Col. Hutton 

 came into possession of the herd, several fresh tribes have been 

 added to the six animals retained in 1S78, and Grand Duke Winsome 

 44898, a son of Grand Duke 23rd 34063, from that beautiful cow, 

 Winsome 12th, bred by Mr. A. H. Lloyd, has been largely used. 

 In Bright Boy 47511, bought at the Prinknase sale, a dash of Booth 

 had been tried, and by the use of Attractive Count 52422, the 

 present male animal, more of that blood is being infused, He was 

 bred at Hackthorne ; this family produced the great prize winner, 

 Attractive Lord, so successful when in the Earl of Ellesmere's 

 possession. One or two of his calves have arrived, and a red heifer 

 out of Mirable, an old Gate Burton sort, is very pretty, and of great- 

 length. In the first pasture almost all are of the old Gate Burton 

 blood. Mirabel, a level short legged cow, sired by Mr. Brassey's 

 Duke of Kent 33680, traces to Strawberry, by Earl Spencer's 

 William 2840. Marjory, and Miranda, also of this family, a pretty 

 pair, are by Mr. Ackers' Bright Boy 47511, while Rosemary, a 

 wealthy growing heifer, very level and straight, is a beautiful bred 

 specimen of Mr. Maynard's Moss Rose tribe, having the illustrious 

 names Duke of York 7th 17754, and Imperial Oxford 18084, in- 

 cluded in her ancestors. Cressida, a fine old cow, has like her 

 daughter Constance, a grand udder, these with Ophelia 2nd, and 

 Sarah Siddons, the latter a daughter of Mr. Botterill's Eordham 

 Dake of Oxford 4th 41569, all descend from Earl Spencer's Tragedy, 

 a tribe that have been remarkable for their fecundity at their present 

 home. In a distant meadow we find Seraphina Duchess 2nd, a 

 daughter of Lord Bective's Duke of Underley 2nd 36551, and 

 Seraphina Duchess 5th, of Lord Braybrooke's Duke of Rosedale 8th 

 39780, two of the highest bred of the tribe, having in passing 

 through the well known herds of Gaddesby, Eowfant, and Scaleby, 

 naturally had the advantage of the sires in sevice there ; Sweetheart 

 39th, from Osberton, is an arch ribbed Booth like cow ; and lastly 

 are seen three more daughters oi Grand Duke Winsome, whose 

 produce are both numerous and good at Gate Burton Hall.
