SHORTUOJIX HERDS OF ENGLAND. 183 



great scale, sired by Royal Sceptre 43967, and a granddaughter of 

 Anna 9th, bought at the dispersion of the late Mr. Pickersgill's 

 herd. Each have had a bull calf, the older, Eoyal Favour will 

 probably be used at home, and the other, an excellent youngster, 

 belonging to the strictly Anna cow, runs with her dam in the. 

 pastures. Generous, found her way from Killerby as a private 

 purchase, and proved a most fortunate one, as four of her produce 

 found buyers at an average of 175gs., and Mr. Heineman has one 

 daughter left, Georgia Valentina, sired by Master of Arts 34-816. 

 Another branch of the Georgies came from Prinknash, and Lady 

 Geraldine 2nd's son, Royal Guard, is temporarily in service, pending 

 the arrival of another sire from Warlaby, while the dam as a conse- 

 quence is away from home for service, and her daughter, Lady 

 Gwendoline, is with the Homespun heifers in the distant meadow. 

 Still another cow is to be mentioned, and the only one not of Booth 

 extraction ; this is Rowena, with four Warlaby crosses on Mr. 

 Mr. Maynard's Red Neck pedigree. Roseleaf, the dam of Rowena, 

 was purchased from Mr. W. Bolton, of The Island, in whose 

 possession she won several prizes in County Wexford, certainly the 

 daughter is a very handsome cow, and her son, by King Magnus 

 48012, is full of promise. Mr. Heineman has since added Hetty, 

 and Heartsease, of the famous Hecuba triba, at the dispersion of 

 the Killeiby heid. 



A pleasant drive along the coast from West Brighton brings 

 us to Kingston-by-Sea, where Mr. Hugh Gorringe, has made his 

 Southdo\,n flock, and prize steers, famous by their victories. 

 Buccaneer 49204, bred at The Duffrvn, and the home bred Lord 

 Ruby 51648, descended from the excellent stock of Mr. Harrison, 

 of Leven Hall Garth, in Yorkshire, are first seen ; the latter a very 

 promising young bull, is our favourite, although he does not possess 

 a head so much to our liking as Buccaneer. The steers next to 

 hand, include the white two-year-old, second at Islington last 

 Christmas (beaten only by another of Mr. Gorringe's, afterwards 

 sold for a high figure), he is duly admired, while out of five of a 

 younger generation, aspiring to carry future honours to Kingston-
