354 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



young bulls, showing the local repute of the stock and since our 

 visit we hear of an extensive sale having been made to South America. 

 Sabina, one of Charleston's daughters and the oldest of the numerous 

 matrons, has a well shaped udder, while Scrip, another of this bull's 

 get who it may be mentioned, left many fine cows at Winterfold, 

 before coming to Maisemore Court- -is a massive red with a sweet 

 feminine head and graceful horn, denoting great shorthorn character, 

 like all we see of Charleston's daughters, one more Sonata is 

 especially worthy of mention. Sprite is a heavy fleshed compact 

 young cow, of quite the Booth type, indicating at once her sire - 

 Earl of Beeston whose best daughter is probably Salad, while 

 Sabina possesses more of the dashing Bates character than her sire's. 

 Silo, by Grand Gwynne 3rd, also used by Mr. Morris, as well as a 

 Lally from Winterfold (the grand-sire of Silo) omitted in our 

 previous notice of the various males, is a short legged useful sort, and 

 Sophy is also good. The L's however although far less numerous, 

 carry off the honours with Levity, a beautiful style of cow, sired by 

 Mr. Bowly's Duke of Siddington 3rd 38183, and a winner at the 

 County show as one of a pair. The heifers unfortunately being at 

 a distant farm, are unseen, but the grand lot of cows both numer- 

 ous and good speak well of Mr. Morris' judgement as a breeder, 

 while in the other departments of the farm, from v hat we can 

 judge by appearances, the tenant apparently has not lacked in the 

 knowledge requisite to mark the successful man.
