384 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Rose tribe, which was mated with both the Old Daisies and his own 

 family. Mr. R. H. Masfen's Helot 46492, succeeded him, and after- 

 wards Capt. A. C. Duncoinbe's Prince of Windsor 45406, of the 

 Carperby Lily tribe, brought in the Booth blood, still more so did 

 Hero 52998, a handsome young bull, bought at Acton Burnell for 

 160gs., as he was almost of pure Booth descent, but the fine massive 

 Barrington Duke 6th 49121, obtained at the dispersion of the 

 Llangattock Park herd, is a worthy specimen of the rival "house." The 

 cows in the Park comprise several fine handsome animals, March- 

 ioness, one of Helot's daughters, being perhaps the best ; Dewdrop, 

 Margarita and Mandiff Daisy, being also creditable specimens of the 

 same sire's get, whereas Blush Rose from Morning Blush, the highest 

 priced of the Pencraig " bunch, " is excelled by hei younger half- 

 sister, Maindiff Blush, seen behind the buildings, and the mother of 

 Crawshay 51044, a wonderfully good topped young bull seen therein 

 but since transferred to the ownership of Mr. Matthew Savidge. 

 In company with Maindiff Blush, we find a grand young cow in 

 Royal Daisy. The half-sisters, Precious Flower and Rosary, are a 

 pair of symmetrical cows of theStratton type, while the heifers of both 

 tribes are however some distance away, but if Prince of Windsor's 

 daughters are anything like his son Crawshay, they must be 

 uncommonly good. 



Eighteen years ago the late Mr. S. O. Priestley, whose cattle 

 were, as previously mentioned, entirely descended from Mr. Charles 

 Colling's Old Daisy, sold a number of cows and heifers to Mr. J. A. 

 Rolls, M.P., of The Hendre, Monmouth, and with the exception of 

 four animals, the entire herd are now descended from them, although 

 two drafts were submitted to the public in 1879 and 1884. On the 

 former occasion only descendants of Mr. Priestley's cattle were sent 

 to Pencraig Court to be sold in conjunction with Mr. Beever's, and 

 the excellent average of .77 19s. 6d was obtained. In 1884, the sale 

 comprised the whole of the several families that had been purchased 

 from time to time, excepting Kirklevington Empress 2nd, bought at 

 Berkeley, and her daughter, the result being satisfactory for the year. 

 Only one purchase in either the female or male line has since been
