SHOUTHOHN HERDS OF ENGLAND. J- 195 



January last. Certainly, the Kirklevingtons, at Hare woods, are of 

 a favourite branch : and so are the Winsomes, which are known as 

 Winsome Countesses, except Wisdom 3rd, one cf the original 

 purchases, bought at Berkeley, and naturally sired by Duke of 

 Connaught, in addition to being good looking in herself, she is the 

 dam of Winsome Countess 3rd, newly calved ; Winsome Countess 

 5th, the grandest heifer in the herd ; and Winsome Countess 6th, 

 by Grand Duke 41st. Winsome Countess, a massive short legged 

 cow, is by Duke of Airdiie 27th, from Winsome 12th, an extremely 

 handsome cow bought at Papillon Hall for 810gs., but bred at 

 Holker. 



As in Kirklevingtons, and Winsomes, Mr. Lloyd has obtained as 

 highly bred Waterloos as can be had in England at ths present day, 

 Originally, Duchess of Waterloo 2nd, was bought for 490gs. at 

 Mr. Sartoris' sale. Her daughter, Countess of Waterloo, a fine 

 old cow, is the dam of the Second, Third, and Foiuth, all by the 

 Airdrie bull, and now in Mr. Lloyd's possession, with the Third as 

 best of the trio. 



The Princesses, are the most line bred of the English and 

 American branches, Princess of Airdrie, being the last calf of 

 Primula, when in her sixteenth year, and the dam of a heifer of 

 nice character, by Grand Duke 41st. Princess of Airdrie 2nd, and 

 Princess of Airdiie 4th, are own sisters, from TJnderley Princess, 

 descended from Princess 2nd, sold at Killhow in 1868 for 300gs. 

 The dark red Duke of Gloucester 7th 39735, in his twelfth year, is 

 as fertile and active as ever, and still retains that straight outline 

 which he possessed when at Hindiip and Holker ; as a sire his 

 heifers are generally considered superior to the males, the latter 

 being somewhat deficient in masculine character. Duke of Aiidiie 

 27th 36460, is what we may term a bull all over, he stands near the 

 giound, and is the sire of many a good youngster of both sexes. In 

 breeding he is half brother to Mr. Fox's Twenty-fourth Duke of 

 Aiidiie, being by Fouiteenth Duke of Thorndale 28459 from Ninth 

 Duchess of Airdrie.
