276 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Several capital calves are in the buildings, notably Golden Wave, 

 out of Wave Surge; Welcome Countess, and Koyal Welcome, out of 

 mother and daughter, with Golden Lamp 49657, Royal Studley 

 45548, and Royal Christon 52026, as their sires ; the last named is 

 now at Hasland, he is a red with but little white, was bred at N"ew 

 Wariaby, by Mr. C. Morgan, having Warlaby parents on both sides 

 of the house, and imported into this country when he fell into 

 Mr. L. Brodhurst's possession, from whom he has been hired by 

 Mr. Lucas. 



Close to the borders of Essex, farming land in each county, 

 Mr. T. Chalk has been a successful exhibitor at the Bedfordshire, 

 Cambridgeshire, and Essex Shows, during the past seven years, and

 maintain the reputation already secured by the herd in the county. 

 Welcome Lassie, and her heifer calf, were first purchased from 

 Mr. Henry Webb, afterwards Bridgefoot, Burghley, East Donyland, 

 Ellington, Gaddesby. and Pitlochrie, were visited, and Vocalist, of 

 the Seraphina tribe, bought from Mr. C. H. Cock, may be said to 

 have been about the most fortunate purchase, as in addition to 

 winning many honours, her daughter, Melody, a red and little white 

 shorthorn-like cow, has taken eight firsts and two seconds for Mr. 

 Chalk, her heifer, Ballad, the result of sending the cow to Self Esteem 

 2nd 48675, has been placed next to Mr. Pugh's Zoe 5th, at Norwich, 

 and with Mermaid, of similar age, out of Melody's half sister, 

 Syren, they make a pretty pair, likely to maintain the credit of the 

 herd in the future. 



Babraham Duke 3rd 47366, and Magician 50007, the two 

 stock sires, are winners of numerous prizes, we are inclined however 

 to prefer the former, a short legged, massive son of Vocalist, and 

 Babraham Duke 40996, who was from a daughter of the own sister 

 of the celebrated Telemachus 27603, the latter being half brother 

 to the sire of the former, but by Sir W. G. Armstrong's Wild Duke 

 of Geneva 7th 4613, used for some time by Mr. Chalk. Passing 

 on to the cows, Enchantress (the dam of Babraham Duke, Magician, 

 and Sybil, all successfully exhibited), is showing the approach of
