SHOKTHOKX HERDS OF EN(ILAM). 1 7'-) 



sister, Apology, is a good dark red ; but the gem of the family is 

 Amelia, out of Antoinette 2nd, a lovely heifer, and one of the best 

 the owner possesses. Of Agatha, and Agnes, own sisters, from 

 Amy, by an Oxford bull of Sir H. Allsopp's, we prefer the former. 

 Passing on to the Foggathorpes, we have five wealthy fleshed cows 

 as a preliminary to the heifers which are very good. Lady Fogga- 

 thorpe 2nd, Lady Foggathorpe 3rd, and Lady Foggathorpe 4th, are 

 all own sisters by the Sixth Duke of Oneida, out of Miss Fogga- 

 thorpe, by Grand Duke of Kent, a daughter of the original purchase, 

 but of the five, Miss Foggathorpe 3rd, also a daughter of Sixth 

 Duke of Oneida, is the best individual animal, and an excellent 

 breeder, her two-year-old daughter, Foggathorpe Duchess, by a Water- 

 ingbury bred Wild Eyes, being particularly good, and not less can 

 be said of her pretty yearling by Knight of Oxford 5th. Two 

 more massive heifers are Lady Foggathorpe 5th, and Miss Fogga- 

 thorpe 5th, while Lady Foggathorpe Gth is very compact ; heie as 

 at The Oaklands, and Yardley, the tribe is excellent. 



The Knightleys are represented by Rosys, Sweethearts, and 

 Charmers. Duchess of Fawsley, came from Whittlebury, although 

 the family were foi merly famous at Wateringbury like the Charmers; 

 Duchess of Rothesay, by Duke of Airdrie 27th 41351, is not 

 admired so much as one of the same sire's get trom Geneva's Rose 

 of Sharon, which has a deep chested thick heifer by a Princess sire 

 of Mr. Lloyd's ; and Cherry Sweetheart, with a splendid udder, 

 is likely for keeping up the reputation of the Knightleys. Sultana 

 13th, very straight on her top, is of a family which formed a part 

 of the Wateringbury herd in its earlier days, and of another local 

 family, the Rubinas, there is a roan bull calf full of hair with 

 excellent quality. Last but not least is Thorndale Rose 31st, 

 bought as a calf at the Audley End sale, when it is mentioned she 

 is from Mr. Mill's 405 guinea cow it is needless to add on her 

 perfections. 



Little Barton, of late famous for several excellent steers exhibited 

 at the leading fat stock shows, bred by Mr. C. Collard, lies about 

 one mile distant from each of the two Stations in the cathedral town
