and Harcouit 139977 a son of Countess 2nd were all bred at West 

 Dereham Abbey, then Carperby was resorted to, three times in 

 succession, Windsor's Plum 42625, a son of Major Windsor 

 34739 own brother to Bride of Windsor which left only three 

 heifers ; followed by Benezet 42785, and Count Benedict 46122, of 

 Mr. Willis' Rose tribe. Warlaby has since been resorted to, and 

 Wallace 48899, Rajah 53750, and King Edwai-d 53058, hired, the last 

 named, a dark red 18 months old son of King Hal, and Manola, 

 being now in service, as Prince Ernest 53445, the last purchase 

 from West Dereham, although his senior in age has not yet 

 been of any use to Mr. Hawkes. Between the hire of Wallace,

 of more fashionable blood are Kate Sybilla 2nd, and Phillis 

 Countess, of Mr. J. Booth's Katherine, and Mr. H. Aylmer's Phillis 

 families, but probably the best cow of the lot is not reached until 

 Pansy, a very level daughter of Pink 20th, of the Broadmoor Pye 

 tribe is seen. Two fields away something like a score are together, 

 comprising heifers of all ages, and the tribe last seen are first at 

 hand, represented by two half sisters, out of Cherry Pye 2nd ; very 

 pretty is Lady Meysey 2nd, the produce of an Old Daisy bull, and
