280 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Telluria Alba is very good, while Strawberry Lady and Strawberry 

 Princess, own sisters, are thick fleshed wealthy cattle, of the old 

 Angus blood. The truest made heifer is however Kosalind, one of 

 Cunobelin's daughters, from a branch of a family known as the Red 

 Duchesses formerly in Mr. Ladds' possession, on our drive home- 

 ward is viewed Rose Stanley, own sister to the dam of Rosalind, a 

 good heifer, but hardly the equal of the first seen. 



Golden Lamp 49657, a son of Royal Mowbray 42330, originally 

 from Ballywalter, is now found at Mr. Heathcote's Home Farm, he 

 is a rich roan with good shoulders and great depth of fore rib, and 

 as he is intended for use upon the Stanley heifers, any little weakness 

 in his head may not be expected to be observable in the produce. 

 Albert Victor, of a branch of the Mantalinis that have been in Ireland 

 for several generations, is sired by the illustrious Albion 36112, 

 and is the male animal placed at the disposal of Mr. Heathcote's 

 neighbours, he was considered good enough to be sent to the County 

 Show, and a ' first " was the result. Previous to the purchase of 

 Stanley, Cunobelin 41310, a fine white Village Rose bull, had been 

 used. Costly 5th, one of the last daughters of King Charles, enjoys 

 the cool of a loose box. A red heifer calf is the solitary descendant 

 of the Mantalini Maid of the Mist, bought from Mr. W. Wells, a 

 near neighbour of Mr. Heathcote's, about twenty-two years ago, and 

 the dam of Maid of Connington, from which many females are 

 descended in the North. Passing on to the dairy cows, Sylph, 

 a light roan, and squarely built, springs originally from Ellington. 

 Faii-ie Queen is a daughter of Cunobelin, and Fair Frances, 

 bought at the dispersion of Mr. F. Fowler's heid, also the dam of 

 tfl'ins, Fair One and Fair Twin, by Stanley, and is now one of an 

 excellent quartette seen in a more distant pasture, her companions 

 being Princess Myra and Rosebud 16th, privately selected from the 

 Bearl herd, and begotten by Warlaby sires. Returning to the cows 

 in milk, Lily, tracing to the Rev. R. Pointer's Red Darlington, has 

 done her work well, having had four calves in four years and three 

 months, a roan being very noticeable in a bunch of seven yearlings,
