356 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Frost tribe as a start in shorthorn breeding. His female purchases 

 have been limited to three of the Lee tribe springing from Young 

 Rose, by Mr. Sanday's Nottingham 15014 who was extensively 

 used at Broad Hinton which were obtained at the sale of the first 

 portion of the Dudgrove herd ; Jemima from Mr. J. B. Jenkins' sale 

 in 1875, and Lady Dennison of the same descent from a Mr. Curtis, 

 a neighbour of Mr. Jenkins ; and Pink 37th, with her calf from Mr. 

 Gr. Hewer's sale of three years ago. Mr. Arkell like his father 

 resorted to Siddington for a ma'e and obtained Seventh Baron 

 Wetherby 23384, afterwards the Grarnes supplied Prince of Geneva 

 16th 42196, from Churchill Heath and Lord Eoehampton 48242, 

 from Broadmoor. Earl Beauchamp's Habis 47097 has left some 

 excellent stock, and Paley 54780, once more brings in the Broadmoor 

 blood with a dash of Booth through the Pyes. He has been hard

 Habis' daughters ; Flora, the own sister and Freedom, are from the 

 shapely uddered and good framed Frosty, seen amongst the dairy 

 cows ; Fanny and Flighty, half sisters, out of Frolicsome, have nice 

 promising udders, and indeed the whole lot of eighteen in piofit have 

 every appearance of fully satisfying the owner twice a day when 

 they are bi ought in to be milked, but neither Fanciful nor Frolicsome, 

 a third pair of handsome sisters must be omitted mention. Bessie 

 Lee and Nelly Lee are found in front of the Court with Lady 

 Dennison 8th, a grand deep made heifer, which throws the merits 

 of the two Lees somewhat in the shade, but her dam, Lady Dennison 

 5th is also a taking cow. Lizzie Dennison, a fine old white showing 

 great shorthorn character, is the mother of the attractive Lady 

 Dennison 9th. Pink 37th, one of the most shapely of the matrons, 

 has for the last three years been sent over to Prince Frogmore's 

 Seal 48488, at Hatherop, but as yet we see no hopes of a " second" 

 Petted Pansy resulting from the union. The little calf which
