368 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



yield of milk, "a good sort to breed from" is the remark we make 

 to our host. Rose of Waterloo and Rose of Waterloo 2nd, two 

 roan sisters, by Third Duke of Waterloo 23801, from Rachel, are of 

 a similar type. From Rachel 2nd, half-sister to the Rose of 

 Waterloo; Ruth Clarence 2nd, own sister to Ruth Clarence, and 

 the three cows previously mentioned, the score of Ruths possessed 

 by Mr. Tremaine are descended. The M.'s are similarly crossed and 

 named Waterloo Marchionesses and Countess of Clarences, each 

 taking the names from their respective sires. There are ten two 

 year old heifers, principally by Duke of Monmouth 44608, which 

 are creditable alike to the sire and to the breeder. Our choice falls 

 upon the two roan first Ruths of Kirklevington, while two reds, from 

 Ruth Clarences Sixth and Eighth, are straight and level. The best 

 of the young bulls is a white yearling, by Mr. Chapm;in's Royal 

 Oxford, from Ruth Charmer 6th, and the matron of the herd has 

 recently produced a roan bull calf of Benbicula's best stamp. 



Great Rissington is situate on the side of the Cots wolds, half

 the Sherbourne estate for upwards of four centuries, Mr. Thomas 

 Game's name appearing in the second volume of Coates', and he 

 bred pedigree cattle at Broadmoor from the year 1825 until his 

 death in 1873, when the one hundred and one head realized the 

 handsome sum of .5944 Is. His three sons have all followed in 

 their father's steps, by breeding principally the same families which 

 occupied the Broadmoor pastures, to which farm Mr. W. G. Game, 

 the eldest, succeeded. Mr. George Game first began at Easingdon, 

 in 1847, but thirteen years later removed to Churchill Heath, where 

 his herd became well known. Mr. John Game was the youngest, 

 and after assisting in the management at home, he left to undertake 

 the charge of a large tract of land in Ireland. Subsequently he 

 established a herd of Jerseys and a flock ot So utl. downs for the late 

 Mr. E. Majoribanks, at Bushey, in Hertfordsh: <, thus it was not 

 until 1878 that he took the farm at Great Lissington, situate
