380 SIIOUTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Blush 2nd, but neither are so perfect in their hind-quarters as their 

 darn, although a pair of nice breeding cows. Zara, one of the best 

 in the Park, out of Zoe, has the 2nd Duke of Siddington 33732, for 

 sire, the successor of Mr. Davies' Grand Duke of Clarence 28750, 

 which was the first male used on the Old Daisies by Mr. Rolls. 

 An Oxford from Kingscote following, while two own brother^ of the 

 Princess tribe bred at Brailes, preceded Sir John Swinburne's 

 Prince Waterloo 4th 48531, a son of Duke of Barrington 8th 41356 

 and Lady Waterloo 23rd, the sire of the heifers and some young 

 cows next seen. Eosy Bloom, Zolite, Zarifa, and Hilda's Delight, 

 are the names of a quartette of two year olds, of which the first 

 named is a very deep square heifer, while of a younger generatipn, 

 Blushing Priny, out of Blushing Princess, is "first favourite," both 

 it is noticed are grand-daughters of Siddington Blush 2nd, the older 

 being out of Eosy Blush. Of the young bulls, a red out of Zoethorpe, 

 is of great length, and very straight, but wanting time to grow into a 

 very useful animal likely to elicit more guineas at Bingley Hall next 

 March than any other of the young bulls from The Hendre, where 

 they are to be sent for disposal, his dam, as yet to be seen under a 

 large covered shed in company with Euddy Blush, Early Eose, 

 and Kirklevington Czarina, where she reigns supreme so far as 

 looks are concerned, and carries herself with considerable style, 

 besides possessing great substance. The Kirklevington is out of a 

 beautiful heifer bought by Mr. Eolls for 770gs., at one of the 

 Berkeley sales, and closely related to Lord Fitzhardinge's Eoyal 

 prize heifer at Bristol, in 1878, her sire was Duke of Connaught 

 33604, and she was one of the few animals in this country that 

 had a double cross of the illustrious 7th Duke of York 17754, in 

 her pedigree. Kirklevington Czarina has yet only had male 

 produce, but it is to be hoped that so shorthorn like a cow will yet 

 leave female descendants behind her. 



Passing on to the county town, we find a trio of herds in the 

 neighbourhood. Proceeding first to the seat of Mr. J. Eankin, M.P., 

 we find shorthorns have been bred at Bryngwyn since 1873, when 

 Dowke 10th, descended from the Rev. Henry Berry's Claro and
