350 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Duchess branches, Grand Duchess 52ud, out of Mr. H. Leney's 

 fine cow Grand Duchess 39th, lining bought when a calf, at the 

 dispersion of the Sholebroke herd for 5()0gs., her first born has 

 been unfortunately lost, but it will be a pity if so well bred a 

 daughter of Duke of Connaught should fail to leave female produce 

 behind her. Duchess of Leicester 3rd, purchased at Castle Hill along 

 with the now reigning Duke, after breeding four calves before she 

 was five-and-a-half-years old has been sent for service to Col. 

 Kingscote's Lord Wellington 6th 5 >j>30, where she is found to be 

 possessed of nice Bates character and carrying plenty of flesh 

 considering the work she has done. Duchess of Berkeley, a very 

 handsome heifer is a successful result of breeding the Castle Hill 

 purchase to the young Wild Eyes bull Lord Waterford 48257 ; 

 and Duchess of Berkeley 3rd, the youngest born is a promising little 

 lady, apparently quite equal to maintaining the dignity of being 

 a Duchess. Kirklevington Czarina 2nd, although not bred at 

 Berkeley, was calved only on the opposite side of the Severn, she is a 

 compact well made heifer doing credit to her illustrious ancestry, 

 as beyond her grand-sire Duke of Connaught, a double cross of 

 Seventh Duke of York is found in her pedigree, while Kirklevington 

 Princess 2nd, is also of the much prized Siddington branch. Another 

 valuable tribe are the Lallys, mother and daughter, the former 

 Lally of Lymage an exceedingly grand massive level cow with a 

 beautiful head and horn, almost a model of a thorough Bates short- 

 horn, could not well help bringing a shapely heifer of good quality 

 to Duke of Connaught, which she has accordingly done in Lally of 

 Lymage 2nd. The Winsomes are like the Lallys, represented by 

 mother and daughter, Wisdom 5th being own sister to the second 

 prize heifer at the B. and W. E. show at Worcester in 1880, while 

 the heifer is one of Duke of Leicester 3rd's daughters. There is 

 also Lady Wild Eyes 8th, a grand old cow of the same branch as 

 that beautiful heifer, Lady Wild Eyes 15th, so successfully exhib- 

 ited by the noble owner. Wild Eyes 33rd, is the dam of Lord 

 Waterford, exported to Chili, and the siro of the young Duchess, 

 She is very purely bred, being out of an eight hundred guinea heifer,
