SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 161 



but Cambridge Duke loth 46030, by Duke of Glo'steu 3rd 33653, 

 from Red Kose 9th, is first led forth for inspection ; he is a 

 straight level bull, and the young stock seen by him are of good 

 colours, and promising for keeping up the owner's reputation at 

 Bingley Hall. Driving through the first pasture, Duchess of 

 Laughton, and Duchess of Laughton 5th, are a pair of pure 

 " Kirks." The older, a lovely dark red of fine character, is by 

 Mr. H. J. Sheldon's Duke of Barrington 5th 33575 used by 

 Mr. Casswell, as was also Lord Bective's Lord Lunesdale Bates 

 34592, of the same family and the mother of Duchess of Laughton 

 4th, seen in the next field, a nice cow, unfortunately somewhat 

 doubtful ; her sire is Duke of Aveland 41355, a son of Duke of 

 Underley 33745, and Kirklevington Duchess 2nd, bred at Laughton, 

 and used successfully for several seasons, as were also Duke of 

 Elmhurst 39371, and Laughton Duke 45035, sons of Kirklevington 

 cows, by Mr. Fox's Twenty-fourth Duke of Airdrie 36460, and 

 Mr. Oliver's Grand Duke 30th 38373. In company with Duchess 

 of Laughton 4th are two Laughton Princesses, the name given by 

 Mr. Casswell to his Lily Bells ; one branch descends through 

 Ursuline, imported into this country from America, and the other 

 from Lady Waltons, obtained from Mr. W. W. Slye. Moss Rose, 

 named after her ancestress, Mr. Maynard's Moss Rose, would be 

 very attractive if a better colour ; as to breeding we congratulate 

 Mr. Casswell on having secured the best of a good old sort, and 

 with Fourth Duke of Thorndale for the first cross after Mr. 

 Maynard's blood, a good beginning was made, and in the hands of 

 so experienced a breeder we doubt not but it will be continued. 

 Duchess of Laughton 7th, a lengthy good heifer, is of much the 

 same character as her dam, Duchess of Laughton. Before passing 

 onwards, a capital cart mare with a foal by one of Mr. Miller's 

 horses must have mention. In another field we have Spicy 

 Laughton 6th, a well bred Sweetheart, of which there are numerous 

 good specimens : Duchesses of Laughton 8th, and 9th, and the latter 

 may be considered the best of the nine Kirklevingtons, as she is a 

 grand heifer with extraordinary style. In our next group we have
