after the Berkswell sale, Ursula 29th, was purchased from Lord 

 Fitzhardinge incalf to Grand Duke of Waterloo 28760, and the 

 produce. Grand Duke of Studley, followed Lord Royal 34002 

 ia *on of Grand Duke 9th), as the principal sire, he was succeeded 

 by the following home-bred bulls, Grand Duke of Studley 

 2nd 39954. and his son, Referee 46966, from a Dido cow ; Bi omsgrove

 rl :. Harris' sale ; and Red Duke 48553, another son of Grand Duke 

 of Studley 2nd, but out of Countess, a daughter of Ursula 29th. 

 In 1884, Mr. Sheldon's Fernandez 2nd 49382, was bought after 

 distinguishing himself in the Champion class at Bingley Hall, where

At the dispersion of his father-in-law's celebrated herd at 

 Hindlip in 1885, Mr. Walker secured all the females of the popular 

 Darlington tribe, as well as Denmark 51070, a white yearling son 

 of Knight of Oxford 4th, and that grand old cow Darling, bred at 

 Lillingstone Dayrell, and acquired by the late Lord Hindiip at a 

 cost of 275gs. ; since corning to Studley he has remained very true 

 and level on his top, and grown into a nice animal, possessing a fine 

 masculine head, but now having been forced appears to lack the 

 substance of his dam. The Darlingtons have not increased in 

 numbers since their acquisition, but Darlington Belle 2nd (dam of 

 the Bingley Hall prize bull, and Berkswell sire, Driffield), came into 

 Warwickshire with a cow calf by her side, and has since added 

 another by Mr. Sheldon's bull. Darlington Belle 3rd, half sister to 

 Denmark, is not only " Queen " of the tribe, but of the entire herd, she 

 carries herself with all the style and freedom of a Bates animal, and 

 as she uas admired at Hindlip, so will she be if sent forth to the 

 Show yards as a representative of the Studley Castle herd. The 

 TJisulas (thirty in all), are the most numerous tribe at Studley, and 



e-d in the Kingdom contains so many specimens. Their owner 

 thinks more highly of them than any of his other families, on account 

 .of their prolific habits, sound constitutions, and general usefulness,
