202 SHORTHORN HKRDS OF ENGLAND. 



from Duchess Carolina 3rd, bought last year in Northamptonshire, 

 and unseen. Baron le Grand 50820, a son of Grand Duke 41st 

 46439, and Baroness Oxford 4th, a long drawn stylish bull with 

 excellent quality, walks from his box with a degree of command, as 

 if he was well aware of b^ing Lord of the Hire in of Mr. Hinds' 

 large herd ; so attracted was our American friend by his being one 

 of the few well bred Bates bulls, red in colour, which he had found 

 in this country, that he induced his owner to part company with 

 him to cross the Atlantic. 



A pleasant drive from Canley brings us to the Home Farm at 

 Berkswell Hall, where a few large framed, heavy fleshed, deep 

 milking cows, are kept for dairy purposes by Mr. T. Wa'ker, to which 

 he is using Driffield 4931)0, a winner in his younger days at Kingley 

 Hall, and from one of the fine Darlington cows bought for Studley 

 at the Hindlip sale. The seven animals in milk are certainly a good 

 lot, and it would ba a pity to particularize; the Blanches are to the 

 fiont as usual, Cherry Blanche 7th, bought fiom Mr. (J. M. Hamer, 

 having two nice daughters in Cherry Blanches, Eighth, and Ninth, 

 by Mr. T. Harris' Prince of Caralina 48481, used in the heid. 

 Ursula of Ozleworth 5th, in addition to being of the Ursula tribe, 

 well known at Didmaiton, is the mother of one of the piettiest ot 

 the yearling heifers, which are all by Driffield, the best made being 

 a red and white out of Inmate 3rd, a family which once passed 

 through the old established herd at Weston Park. 



Returning from Canley, and Berkswell, we call at the farm near 

 to the town of Coventry, belonging to Mr. R. A. Dalton, of Whoberley 

 Hall, where he has a few good looking cows, which are usually sent to 

 Mr. Hands' bulls. Nearly all descend from Alma 15th, and Alma 

 16th, own sisters, by Duke Dentsdale 33651, from Alma Alba, a 

 pedigree of no great length winding up with a son of Mr. Arbuthnot's 

 Anthony 1640. They were obtained from Mr. J. R. Winn, of 

 Coundon, the older sister has two heifers, and the younger, three ; of 

 the matrons we prefer the latter. In another building we have 

 Xmas Lily, a fine cow, with a grand rib and loin, bought at Mr. E.
