192 SHORTHORN HKRD3 OF ENGLAND. 



The Cherry Duchesses, came from Lathoni, and Sholebroke, and 

 at the latter sale, Mr. Ellis undoubtedly got the choice in Cherry 

 Grand Duchess 13th, a very handsome roan. Cherry Duchess 28th, 

 a compact little cow, has both daughter, and grand-daughter, in the 

 herd, and a bull calf by Mr. Lloyd's Grand Duke 41st. The 

 Waterloos, from Givendale originally, have Lady Waterloo 26th, a 

 thirteen years old short legged, heavy fleshed animal at their head ; 

 they appear in a fair way for multiplying, as both the mother, and 

 oldest daughter, have cow calves to Winsome Duke, the younger 

 cow by a Waterloo bull, has much the same character as the dam. 

 Kirklevington Queen, from Hindlip, is a lengthy young cow, but

 coveted four figures at any of the great Holker sales), is very level, 

 and with age will develop into a still finer cow. Upon Wild Erin 

 Duke of Connaught has improved his great merit as a sire, and in 

 addition she has verified the old adage of u like producing like " by 

 breeding one of the best heifers to Duke of Ormskirk 3rd 46260, 

 which with Duchess Craggs 7th, shares the honours of the old barn. 

 Wild Eyes J, a lengthy red and \vhite, tracing to Mr. C. W. Harvey's 

 Wild Eyes 22nd, has much improved in appearance during the past 

 year, and a very useful roan bull owns her for dam. Winsome 

 Duke 48968, a dark roan, by Mr. Lloyd's Grand Duke 41st 46438, 

 from Winsome Countess, a thick massive, short legged bull, has 

 been at the head of the herd since his purchase at the Harewoods
