288 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



red two year old, is being used for the heifers, and promises to 

 develope into a fine bull, he is from Airdrie Flower, a daughter of 

 Cactus 2nd, and has Duke Oneida 4.3151, for sire. 



One of the most fashionable families are the Waterloos, des- 

 cended from Waterloo 22nd, bought at Killhow in 1876, in calf to 

 Duke of Oxford 22nd 31000, when fourteen years old, her produce 

 named Waterloo 4t5th, a good substantial cow, with her daughter, 

 Waterloo 50th, are two of a small group Feen apart from the main 

 body of the matrons. It is worth recording that after breeding the 

 Forty-sixth, she further had the Forty-ninth when seventeen years 

 and seven months old. Duchess Craggs 3rd. bought at Maplewell, 

 has a capital udder, and Flower of Tarm 3rd, is a daughter of 

 Pagares, she in turn being from Papaver, a grand-daughter of Peach, 

 which coming into Col. Kingscote's possession he added Second Earl 

 of Walton 19672 and 3rd Duke of Clarence 23727, selling the 

 offspring of the latter to Mr. Magniac in calf to Duke of Hillhurst 

 28401, and the heifer that arrived at Colworth in due course was 

 sent to be mated with Duke of Underley 3rd 38196, and Flower of 

 Tarm 3rd, is the result. Mr. Magniac now possesses the purest 

 branch of the once highly prized Peach tribe, certainly they are 

 most beautifully bred, and probably a higher rank in fashion's market 

 will await them in the future. Passing on to the dairy cow^, 

 Flowers of Tarm 4, 5, and 6, are included in the fifteen, as well as 

 Pagares, a rare sort, with large well filled udder. Another Bell 

 Bates family have four female representatives, named Countesses of 

 Antrim, and Lady Wynyards, of which Countess of Antrim 2nd, 

 and Lady Wynward, are considered the best shaped. Both descend 

 from the aged Cactus 2nd, imported into this country by Mr. E. 

 Gibson, and tracing to exported Frantic, by 4th Duke of Tork 10167. 

 The very pretty Favourite Gwynne, has had no less than six heifer 

 calves, but the third in seniority, Fairy Gwynne, cannot be considered 

 the equal of her attractive mother. This branch originated from 

 Biddenham, but Mr. Magniac secured Favourite Gwynne's dam at 

 Killhow in 1876, for 305gs. Heather Honey, Morecambe Honey, 

 andTregunter Honey, are very creditable to the well known JKangscote
