SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 287 



Duchess 3rd, descended from Col. Townley's Eoyal Butterfly 

 Duchess, were obtained at the dispersion of the late Mr. S. R. C. 

 Ward's herd. Chiefly from the 1883 purchases has the heid been 

 bred, although Havering Park supplied Havering Ruby 4th, the 

 following year, and Park Empress 2nd, a fine cow of robust con- 

 stitution was bought at The Crundalls, where she was the highest 

 priced animal, and now suckles a pretty roan heifer calf by Lord Airdrie 

 53118, a massive roan son of 27th Duke of Airdrie 41351, and 

 Gloriana, now doing service at Southill, and the sire of some hand- 

 some rich roan heifers. G rasmere 49681 , a fine white Waterloo bull,

 their sons, Duke of Wynyard 49492 and Grand Duke of Cumberland
