is not the equal of his sisters. Eosedale Goldust, a red yearling, 

 from Eosedale Snowflake, completes the family group, he has length, 

 size and style, yet lacks the grandeur of his mother. 



Cowslip, bred by Earl Spencer, with all the characteristics of a 

 .shorthorn, is the dam of the much admired Victoria, a heifer 

 remarkable for her personal beauty. Lady Worsley, a winner of 

 several prizes, has bred a nice white calf by Prince Saturn 46926 

 the sire of Euckley 50398 the lady herself being by Self Esteem 

 2nd 28675, from Dewdrop, by Mr. J. B. Booth's Paul Potter 38854,

 Royal, her pedigree thus full of Booth blood or "show yard career."

 favour when seen elsewhere ; Marchioness of Waterloo 6th the 

 recent Bingley Hall winner is very neat, but Mr. Brierley, like 

 other good judges of shorthorns, reserves a treat for the close of our 

 visit in Waterloo Cherry 13th, bred by the late Mr. S. L. Horton 

 (also the breeder of Euckley), she is not large, but equally pro- 

 portionate, but as much as her owner has fallen in love with her, we
