172 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Grange sale of 1875, when Lady Waterloo 18th, and Lightburne 

 Winsome, were purchased. The Waterloos now number three, and 

 the Winsdmes one more, but it is only fair to add that private 

 sales of females of each family have been made. Wild Eyes 

 Winsome, a daughter of Duke of Undarley 2nd 36551, from the 

 original purchase, has two nice looking daughters in Wild Eyes 

 Winsornes, Sixth, and Seventh, the older being a very good heifer. 

 The Waterloos are considered the better animals, as the three 

 Roses of Waterloo are well fleshed handsome cattle showing plenty 

 of constitution, Rose of Waterloo 6th, the youngest of the family, 

 is especially gay and pretty, and her dam, Rose of Waterloo 

 2nd. the best animal in the field. The Craggs, and Fantails, are 

 the best of their respective tribes, both having been bought at the 

 dispersion of Mr. W. Angerstein's first class herd. Cambridge 

 Fantail 4th, and her calf, by a young Winsome bull named Duke 

 of Wrotham 5th, are the representatives of Ihe latter family,

 still continued by Mr. Rigg in the white Grand Duchess Carolina 

 4th. The Duchess Annies, a branch of the Duchess Nancys, 

 coming through Mr. C. LyalPs herd, have two cows, and a heifer, 

 in company with the older females already mentioned. Returning 

 to the buildings we are shown the recent acquisition, Duke of 

 Belvedere, of the famous Thorndale Rose tribe, bought a few days 

 before at Hilden ; with his present prepossessing appearance he 

 should grow into a sire worthy to succeed Siddington Kirklevington. 



Mr. Herbert Leney, the youngest of the four sons of the well 

 known Mr. Frederick Leney, began breeding shorthorns in 1876, 

 when his father selected for him the sisters, Lady Blanche, and 

 Cherry Blanche 3rd, at Lord Chesham's sale ; the former bred 

 nothing but bulls, and the latter, one bull, as against five heifers, so 

 quite a large family group are assembled to welcome us at the Hall 

 Place Farm, close to Barming, two stations beyond Wrotham. 

 The female line have been appropriately named Sockburnias, 

 and the Third, a daughter of Sixth Duke of Oneida 30997, is a
