370 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Spicy 6th and Marchioness 6th, daughters of Mr. Handley's Master 

 Harbinger 40324, possessed of great depth of frame and strong 

 constitutions, although not fashionably bred, have pedigrees descend- 

 ing from the herds of good breedeis in earlier days. Daisy's Gem, 

 tracing to Mr. Burrow's Dora, a thick fleshed good sort, well covered 

 with hair, is a purchased daughter from Colly nie of Field- 

 Marshal, while Molly Lind, from Burnside, and by the victorious 

 Goldfinder 47967, with her calf, by Goldfinder's Heir 52913 make 

 a good pair. Camphor and Camilla descend like Daisy's Gem, from 

 Mr. Burrow's stock, on the West coast of Cumberland, but from 

 Eliza, by Young Western Comet 1575. Bessie 32nd, Roan Lady 

 14th and Maraquita, are a remarkable massive trio of yearlings, 

 promising well for the future of the herd at Windsor. 



The Grazeley Court herd, belonging to Mr. W. I. Palmer, 

 descends principally from three daughters of the Waterloo Marquis

 Afterwards purchases were made at the Loggans Mill sale, and at 

 Manoravon, the Booth blood was introduced by four Mistress Marys 

 and Czarina 12th coining into Berkshire. On entering th-) buildings 

 situate at the rear of the Court, which is about four miles from 

 Reading, we are greatly taken with several young heifers which are 

 being brought under cover, and in one of the yards we find an 

 excellent trio of two year olds, Lady Grace is particularly lengthy, 

 and they all do credit to their sire, Longboat 48154, bought by Mr. 

 Palmer from Mr. Holborow, and used as the successor to Capt. 

 Mytton's Caractacus 42879, who proved very successful both as a 

 sire and in the show ring, winning amongst other honours, the 

 Roy a) at Reading in 1882. A dozen cows are found in the Park, 

 and half-a-score over the fence include Marchioness 4th, from 

 Manoravon. In the former are some very fine animals, Lady 

 Hillhurst Craggs being a cow of large scale ; Baroness Hillhurst 2nd, 

 deep and massive ; while Flourish, the daughter of her older sister,
