SHOIITHOKN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 181 



of Mr. Leney's Lady Zetland, is the dam of a young bull by Paul 

 Gwynne 2nd 48420, which has been used previous to the purchase 

 of the Grwynne. 



Mr. G-. M. Tracy, has been a breeder for many years, his earliest 

 sale having taken place in 1859, when he made an average of just 

 over forty two pounds for animals chiefly of Knightley blood ; again 

 forty four lots, nearly all of the same line of descent, tracing to 

 Sweetheart 3rd, bought at the Milcote sale in 1861, more than 

 doubled the average of fifty nine. Further Knightley purchases 

 were made, in addition to animals obtained from the old established 

 herd at Hartforth, and Mr. D. Neasham, of Gairiford Hall, near 

 Darlington ; and the sale in 1878, which again cleared out the 

 Knigbtleys,. with representatives of the Q-ainford, and Hartforth 

 purchases, brought the satisfactory average of <48 6s. 8d. Lastly, 

 three years ago, the day previous to the Harewoods sale, saw the 

 gathering together of a company at Eedlands, to witness the dis- 

 persion of that portion of the herd tracing to Old Cherry, excepting 

 an old cow, and the Hartforth Nannys. One tribe, known as the 

 Maynards, tracing to Old Sally, by Young Rockingham 2547, a 

 pedigree full of good blood, were retained at the last sale, and now 

 number a dozen females, to which King of the Woods 48107, of 

 the Old Cherry tribe, and his son, Standard Bearer 52202, from 

 Countess Maynard, of this family, are in service at Edenbridge, 

 where since the obtaining of the Cradock and Raine blood, sires 

 chiefly of this line have been used ; occasionally for the purpose of 

 fresh blood, a cow has been sent away for service, and the calf if a 

 male retained. From Cherry Empress, a daughter of the Aylesby bred 

 Cherry Prince 4th 25765, four females descend, and with the 

 Maynards, are the only two families now at Redlands. 



Midway betwixt the fashionable seaside resort of Eastbourne, 

 and Polegate, is to be found one of the choicest Booth herds in the 

 kingdom, and it is few English breeders like Mr. E. Heineman who 

 can claim the privilege of having families tracing direct from 

 Warlaby, and since the purchase of Homebred, and Homespun, 

 daughters of Royal Benedict 27348 ; and Homely, from t he latter,
