SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 247 



low tribe, is by Mi-. Eose's Bright Jason 42832, an Aylesby Bright 

 with the Cherry Duke cross, so Lady Hylda 2nd, with Lord Oxford 

 13th for sire, will probably be more to the fancy of many breeders. 

 J. Princess, one of the Waulby purchases, goes back to Mr. II. 

 Ceiling's Princess, through the herd of Mr. F. Sartoris in more 

 recent years. After seeing the heifers which are by the Minstrel 

 bull, out of the cows before mentioned, with the exception of 

 Thurlaston Hyperia, by Duke of Oxford 47th, out of Countess 

 Hyperia, we spend an hour or two very pleasantly with the owner 

 walking round his estate seeing the flock, and lastly some very 

 promising cart colts. 



At Bardon Hall, about 10 miles from the county town, Mr. W. T. 

 Everard, has began to form a herd of Bates cattle, and the fashion- 

 able Kirklevingtons are represented by Maplewell 4th, a giand- 

 daughter of that beautiful Kirklevington 18th, whose portrait adorns

 done, and it is only to be hoped she may lay the foundation of a 

 family worthy of the name. Princess Morwydd, sold at Millbeckstock 

 under a month old for 40gs. to Mr. Holford, was afterwards sold 

 by him for 360 to Sir H. Allsopp, Bait., at \ihose sale she was claimed 

 by Mr. Everard, and her son, Duke of Bardon, is to be used along 

 with the Kirklevington for the heifers. In the pasture containing 

 the dairy cows we have a useful Red Eose from Elrnhurst, of the 

 same branch as the heifer Mr. Eox exhibited two years ago ; Lady 

 of the Lake, a good looking roan, bred at Bearwood, and victorious 

 in her class at Birmingham, when bought for Bardon ; Countess 6th, 

 of the Bell Bates Place tribe, has bred three excellent heifers, and 

 Dame Buttercup, a red and little white, is of the old Yestris family. 

 In the buildings we find Farewell Duke 49573, of the same ancestry 

 as Dame Buttercup, has been used for the dairy cow?, and a few of
