SHOKTIIOHN HKRDS OF ENGLAND. 257 



Farewells of both sexes, is a handsome cow of large scale, possessing 

 considerable dairy properties, and has four heifers in the herd. 

 Dame Pride has bred nothing but males, while her older sister, Dame 

 Lively has had three of the opposite sex, Dames Frolic, Gambol, and 

 Gaily. The rightly named Dame Graceful, is the youngest of the 

 five, excepting the red calf. Dame Prudence, after coming to Whitwell , 

 bred but two heifers, but from the younger, Dame Mary, by Lady 

 Pigot's Eoyal Warrior 354-15, we only find descendants ; her daughter, 

 Dame Durden, is the same good sort as Dame Prim; and her produce, 

 Dame Mischief, has bred Nonsuch, the highest priced lot at the last 

 Lincoln sale. Dame Frisk, a well ribbed young cow, with nice head 

 and horn is half sister to Dame Mischief, and the dam of Valiant, a 

 lengthy straight youngster. Lastly we have Wallace 48899 (a son of 

 Eoyal Stuart 40646, and Winifred), the first Warlaby sire that has 

 been hired by Messrs. Fowler and Pinder, he is a bull of large scale 

 and great substance, and will doubtless help the Farewells and 

 Mantalinis,to retain their apparently present sound constitutions, but 

 an accident to his shoulder detracts greatly from his appearance. 

 Previously M. G. 31398, King of Trumps 31512 and Prince Stuart 

 45421, had been hired from Killerby, betwixt the use of Burghley, 

 and Wallace's arrival.

Four miles from the lace capital is Euddington Hall, the 

 residence of Mr. Philo L. Mills^ whose name has been by no means 

 an unfrequent one amongst the list of purchases during the last three 

 or four years, although it is really nine years ago since Mr. Mills 

 first began breeding at Wilford. It was not until he removed to 

 Euddington that he had sufficient accommodation for a fair sized
