SHORTHORN HKRDS OF ENGLAND. 00 



About three miles from Slratfoid-upon-Avon Mr. P. Yernon - 

 Wadley, on his farm at Alveston Pasture, has during the last thiee 

 or four years collected together specimens of many of the fashionable 

 Bates tribes including the Oxford, Thorndale Rose, Wild Eyes, 

 Waterloo, Fogga^horpe, and Fuschia families, with the Duchess 

 bull, Duke of Cornwall 3rd 44665, bred by Lord Hindlip, from 

 Duchess 117th, sold at the Dunmoie sale of 1879 for 3,200 guineas. 

 He has many excellent points to his credit, besides mere pedigree ; 

 his deep forequarters are something extraordinary, which makes 

 him have rather a lion like appearance, standing upon his short legs, 

 and being somewhat deficient in weight behind. Tn the pasture we 

 have Conishead Fuschia, a very handsome red cow, and Thorndale 

 Rose 27th, a compact shapely heifer, as the most recent purchases, 

 if either should prove in calf at the prices given, Mr. Yernon- 

 Wadley will have secured a great bargain, as not only are the 

 pedigrees good, but the animals also compare favourably with them. 

 Dream, of Sir Charles Knight-ley's "Walnut tribe, was bought at the 

 dispersion of Lord Braybrooke's herd, and Turncroft Belle of Oxford 

 5th, and her cow calf, at that of another once fashionable Bates 

 herd, the Rev. P. Graham's. Ruddy Daisy, of the Old Daisy 

 family, is short legged, and massive, being one of the best cows in 

 the field, and she is the dam of a nice red heifer seen under cover 

 by Mr. Garner's Heydon Duke 11th 48024. Graffin Foggathorpe 

 12th, a fine old cow. was bought very cheaply at Drin^houses, 

 considering that in her younger days she had made 2<SO guineas at 

 her breeder's sale. Wild Cherry Duchess 5th, a handsome Wild 

 Eyes, came in companionship with Waterloo Rf-d Rose, from 

 another sale at Dringhouses, and the latter has brought a heifer 

 e.ilf to that fine bull Duke of Worcester 10th 40491. Mr. Yernon- 

 Wadley made a selection of four females at the last Underley sale, 

 and Darlington Duchess 3rd, considered somewhat doubtful, is now 

 forward in calf. Bush bury Nora, is a pretty daughter of Fifth Duke 

 of Wetherby 31033, and Nora 8th, bred by Mr. Abe Renick, in 

 Kentucky, while Fairy Dale has the excellent top crosses of Duke 

 of Underley, Duke of Oxford 17th, and Duke of York 7th. on a 

 pedigree formerly in Mr. Stiles Rich's possession.
