Xoith Firth, the offspring of Mr. Hales' fine old cow Princess of 

 Barrington, and Grand Duke 37th 43307. Fait- Gwynne, with her 

 daughter, Furry G\vynne, are a choicely bred pair of Biddenham

 one of the most fashionable bred herds of the present day by going 

 to his neighbour Mr. Gr. M. Tracy's sale, and purchasing five cows 

 and heifers of good old blood ; but September of the same season
