184 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



by-the-Sea, we fancy a very even red. Lord Alfred 46620, a son 

 of Killerby Queen 5tb, purchased from, and bred by Mr. Hugh Aylmer, 

 a bull of great length, with wonderful substance, has been in 

 service the last three seasons In a small pasture near the home- 

 stead, are eight shapely cows, including Mistress Mirth, a purchase 

 at the "West Dereham sale ; her daughter, Mistress Myrtle, by Sir 

 Benedict 42388 ; with their calves, one of each sex, as the most 

 fashionable bred of the lot ; their descent through a number of fine 

 Booth sires, being traceable to Hecate, bred at Killerby. Stella, a 

 grand old cow, was seen in company with the heifers near the 

 railway ; unfortunately Mr. Gorringe being on the continent, we are 

 unable to obtain the names of her companions, or the matrons, with 

 the exception of the Mistresses. 



For about a dozen years, Mr. F. Barchard, has at Hoisted, 

 nearly midway between Brighton, and Tunbridge Wells, although 

 only one mile from Isfield Station, bred shorthorns of the Bates, 

 and Knightley strains, as well as a small herd of pure bred Black 

 Polled Aberdeen Angus from the herds of the Earl of Airlie, Sir G. 

 Macpheison Grant, Bart, and Mr. McCombie. With the exception 

 of two or three animals, the shorthorn herd was dispersed in July 

 1885, and especially admired were the Fidget, and Lady Worcester, 

 families. Coral Charm, offered at the sale subject to a reserve, is 

 the dam of three heifers now at Horsted, named Coral Charms, 

 Fourth, Eighth, and Ninth ; the first named by the unfortunate 

 Viscount Oxford 3rd 44208, burnt when the farm buildings were 

 destroyed in 1884, along with his colleague, Lord Winsome of 

 Sussex 2nd 46721. When the Bath and West last held their 

 meeting at Brighton, Coral Charm, was placed second to Lady 

 Georgina Newcomb ; the latter failing to fulfill the conditions, she 

 is naturally to be now looked upon as the winner. The Cambridge 

 Eoses, have like the Charmers, done well in the county, but the 

 Hose of Sharon branch were all sold at the sale, excepting Eed Eose 

 of Sussex, a daughter of Eed Bose of Glengarry, purchased at 

 Dunmore. Heydon Eose llth, by Duke of Connaught 33604, and 

 the highest priced of the Heydon Roses at the dispersion of the 

 Audley End herd, has since given birth to Horsted Eose.
