170 SHORTHORN HERDS OE ENGLAND. 



the Eev. John Storer's sale in 1868, has the prefix of Killerby to 

 distinguish them. Sixteen cows graze contentedly in front of the 

 Abbey. Clematis, Clemintina, and Cheerful, are daughters of 

 Christina; the first named; with the daik red Casseopea, the 

 possessor of a most excellent back and loin ; Ceres, own sister to 

 Casseopea ; Chloe, a light red short legged arch ribbed cow ; Cordelia 

 (half sister to Sir Benedict 42388, largely used) ; and Cyclamen ; 

 are our favourite half dozen, four of them being sired by Sir Wilfrid. 

 Cassandra, with an excellent udder, is the dam of Casseopea, Ceres, 

 and Charm ; the last named had not long ago been selected by Mr. 

 R. Bruce, on behalf of Mr. J. Hill, of Minnesota. Constance, had 

 a calf when only two years old, so has not had a fair chance of 

 growing out like the rest; and Coral, a daughter of Cheeiful, 

 promises to make a nice cow. Of the younger generation, Crocus, 

 by King Roderick, is very pretty. The original Killeiby Queen 

 purchase, only left one daughter, Killerby Queen 5th, and she has, as if 

 to make amends, had seven, Killerby Belle being one of the pair selected 

 for Sir H. Allsopp, and the five now remaining are much admired : 

 in this family another daughter of Sir Wilfrid, is our paiticular 

 fancy. 



Foreign Beauty, was purchased at the great Aylesby sale for 

 the object of breeding a sire for home use, and unfortunately after 

 breeding the one required, has continued to produce them of the 

 same sex with the exception of one heifer, \vhich has unfortunately 

 died. Sir Simeon 42412, her first born, after several years use, 

 was sold to Mr. W. T. Crosbie ; and it may be added in his younger 

 days, Mr. Aylmer had the tempting offer of 500gs. for him to go to 

 Australia, from Mr. Hutchinson. Lord Clarence, Sir Francis, and 

 King James, a grand massive white now at West Dereham, are also 

 her sons. Fair Cambrian, bought as a calf at the Prinknash sale 

 has also been a bull breeder, but it is to be hoped that two such fine 

 animals will not continue to do so. Riby Lady, a wealthy white 

 heifer, from Knowlrnere, is by Lord Clarence, out of Riby Impress, 

 sold at Aylesby for 760gs. The Gr's, a third Aylesby tribe, number 

 eight ; Grolden Halo, Grolden Leaf, and Golden Ray. are together ;
