SHORTHORN HKKDS OF ENGLAND. 367 



and seven hundred acres of land ; he has been a breeder for about a 

 dozen years, succeeding to his father's herd in 1875, which had been 

 bred by him in Cornwall where also Mr. W. H. Tremaine fanned 

 until eighteen months ago from two cows purchased about 1867 

 from Mr. Whitford, of St. Erne, viz : Rachel and Ruth 16th, by Mr. 

 George Game's Townley Grand Duke 17673, descended from the 

 Ruth tribe already fully noticed in writing of Mr. Trethewy's herd ; 

 and Match 7th, from Mr. Noble, of Probus, tracing through a family 

 name commencing with M., to Mab, by Mr. Charge's Sir Stephen 

 1456, full of Colling blood. The present herd is descended from 

 his father's stock with the exception of four from Lady Maynard, 

 the grand-dam of Favourite 252 and ten of various ages, with about 

 three or four crosses upon a tribe long in the family without 

 registration. The Ruths number twenty females and the M's 

 thirteen, although they are both creditable cattle, and of one type 

 we give our preference to the former, rarely have we seen so many 

 animals standing upon such short legs and containing so much 

 substance as we have the pleasure of seeing in Mr. Tremaine's herd. 

 Bulls have been principally used of Bates blood, including Mr. S. 

 Rich's Third Duke of Waterloo 23801, a son of Seventh Duke of 

 York 17754 and Waterloo 28th, being thus full brother to the 

 mother of Lord Fitzhardinge's Grand Duke of Waterloo 28766 ; and 

 Duke of Monmouth 44608, having Duke of Connaught for grand- 

 sire, and for grand-dam, Mr. Bowly's Siddington 7th, a cow with a 

 double cross of Seventh Duke of York, thus giving the herd a large 

 proportion of the blood of this noble sire. General Clarence 2nd 

 28690, bred at Kingscote, by Col. Gunter's Third Duke of Clarence 

 23727, from a Bell Bates Georgiana, had preceded the Waterloo and 

 Benbicula 45970, of the Bracelet tribe, has been used for the last 

 twelve months, but he is destined for the shambles, as the owner 

 intends returning to his old line of blood. 



Ruth Clarence, a daughter of General Clarence 2nd 28690, and 

 the original purchase is the first animal that attracts attention, she 

 is in her sixteenth year and grazing on a cold winter's day as freshly 

 as if it had been midsummer, there is no lack of constitution, size, or
