SHOKTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 105 



1875 for 480gs. when ten years old ; her great granddaughter, 

 Beautiful Eyes, has the double cross of Duke of Tregunter 5th. 

 The Lady Worcesters, represented by Rosvfant Wild Eyes 3rd, arc 

 of the branch that went out to the States, and were brought back 

 by Mr. T. Holford from New York Mills in 1873. More fashion- 

 able as regards market value are Winsome Beauty 12th, and her 

 white daughter, Winsome Oxford, a heifer of great style, descended 

 from Mr. Maynard's Winsome, but Winsome 28th, and her yearling 

 heifer. Winsome Oxford 2nd, curiously trace, not to Winsome, but 

 to her half sister, Bonny. The ancestress of Winsome Winnie 2nd, 

 like that of GJ-eorgeous Eyes, and Beautiful Eyes, was exported by 

 Mr. Cochrane, and returned with Lord Dunmore's importation in 

 July, 1873. Bushbury Countess of Kirklevington 6th, a heifer of 

 very great substance, and Bushbury Countess of Kirklevington 7th, 

 were obtained at the dispersion of Mr. Lovatt's herd, their naming, 

 as it should be with every tribe, denotes the family to which they 

 belong. The Barringtons are of the favourite Grand Turk sort, so 

 popular with Americans ; Oxford Duchesses, from Messrs Horswell's ; 

 and Lallys, of Winterfold fame. Countess of Barrington 13th, a 

 young cow of very nice character, bought for 210gs. at Holker, has 

 given birth within the past day or two, to a red and white bull calf. 

 Oxford Duchess 25th, in addition to being the dam of Barrington 

 Duke 50859, sold to head the Berkeley Castle herd, had a heifer in 

 1885, to Merry Monarch. Lally Barrington 8th, seen in company 

 with her companion from Lathom herd, lost her daughter at the 

 recent sale. 



The Blanches had the honour of being at the head of the price 

 list at the recent sale, beating both the Wild Eyes and Barrington 

 representatives. Blanche Rose 9th, bred by Lord Fitzhardinge, and 

 by Duke of Connaught 33604, is the best of the half dozen reserved 

 Bates cows seen at the Home Farm on the sale day, being so full of 

 that shorthorn grace and character with which heirsire so invariably 

 stamped his female produce. Blanche Lady, her daughter, by one 

 of the Babingley bulls, might be neater in her quarters, and can 

 hardly be said to be the equal in looks of Lord Fitzhardinge's Lady
