SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 339 



following Imperial Duko of York, and Mr. R. P. Davies' Wild Duke 

 36001 and Prince Arthur 38892, of the Wild Eyes and Peach families 

 succeeding him. Monmouth 45258, of the Old Daisy tribe then 

 came from The Hendre and left some fine cows, especially Welcome 

 6th, one of the best on the farm, Recently Kirklevington Beau 

 51484, also bred by Mr. Eolls, from his 770 guinea heifer at 

 Berkeley, has been in service, although a good red Wild Eyes- 

 Lord Bright Eyes 48169 had been for a short period at Didmarton, 

 while now we find a level roan yearling Surmise from Kingscote.

 representing llhoda Niblett, bought at the Broadway sale of 1876, 

 while Chloe is one of several tracing to the Kingscote herd and 

 having for a foundation some sound good blood. 



Mr. J, C. Hatherell, whose farm Oldbury-on-the-Hill adjoins 

 that of Mr. Gould, having also a fancy for the Bates type of cattle, 

 purchased from Mr. Kello, Lady Fantail 2nd and her roan heifer 

 calf, by Lightburne's Duke of Oxford 36895; Atalanta, bred by 

 Archdeacon Holbech, out of Asenath, a grand-daughter of Asia, by 

 the 1,000 guinea Grand Duke 2nd 12961, the third in descent from 

 Mr. Bell's Aeonib; and the Surmise heifer, Hush, having those well
