Touchstone 20986 and Mr. Hall's Weathercock 1815, the latter 

 sire's produce being out of Mr. Bates' Wild Eyes 27th, by 2nd 

 Cleveland Lad 3408, and excepting one female seen at Berkeley, the 

 whole of the descendants of Wild Eyes 27th are limited to the three 

 animals found at Ogwell. The red and little white (Lady Wild 

 Eyes A.), has Duke of Connaught for sire, and while the white has 

 Baron Hillhurst, it is to be hoped that with such a pair of useful 

 cows as a foundation, the tribe will now multiply as freely as most 

 of the; others have done for their owner. The Gwynnes include a 

 number of Mr. Scratton's finest cows, which appear to flourish and 

 multiply equally in a southern county as in either Cumbfrland or 

 Westmorland, where they are held in high esteem by the farmers, 

 on account of their good quali f ies, and it will be difficult to find any 

 one tribe that has made for itself so popular a name throughout the 

 country. Nearly a score of animals are descended from Alice 

 Gwynne out of Flora Gwynne, bred at Biddenham bought eleven 

 years ago from Mr. J. W. Larking, and Geneva Gwynne, the oldest 

 of her four daughters grazing in the Park, is a fine massive red and 

 white, possessing Messrs. Leney's Grand Duke of Geneva 28756 for 

 sire. Alma Gwynne is possessed of good dairy properties, it is the 

 exception to find the tribe either here or elsewhere otherwise, if 

 they have been rationally treated. Barrington Gwynne 6th, by 

 Lally's Hillhurst Duke 2nd 38539, another excellent daughter of 

 the old cow, is hardly the equal of Amy Gwynne, a grand-daughter 

 of Alice Gwynne, strikingly handsome with her well sprung ribs, 

 excellent back and loin and lengthy hind quarters, while her fore 

 ones are equally good, and in addition possessing the general 

 character of a thorough shorthorn ; she had bred a very straight 

 heifer, Ariel Gwynne, to Baron Winsome Oxford. Out of ten 

 heifers, including Kirklevington and Duchess Nancys, the favourites 

 are Aster Gwynne and Albani Gwynne, and in a younger generation, 

 Auburn Gwynne and Artemas Gwynne, are considered to distance 

 their companions of the same families. Baroness Gwynne and 

 Baroness Gwynne 2nd, own sisters, are from a daughter of Double 

 Gwynne, bred at Eongholm, where she escaped the addition of any
