402 SHORTHORN TTRRDS OF 



Princess and Waterloo strains, with a dash of Booth through the 

 maternal grand-sire, Dr. Mac Hale 15887. The former, a nice 

 short legged deep bodied red, has bred the two Eed Eoses of 

 Waunyscil, the older being by Blandford 50884, an Old Daisy calf, 

 bought at The Hendre, while the Waterloo, although not in the herd', 

 has bred Wast water 3rd, a remarkably fine two year old, which 

 when exhibited at the county shows was awarded second honours, 

 and Dainty Waterloo, a nice yearling, to Sir H. H. Vivian's highly 

 bred Duchess Nancy bull, Oxford Dandy 48396. A third family at 

 Waunyscil are the Seraphinas, which comprise Celeste 10th, and

 being of the same tint of lime stone, and the whole are of 

 recent construction and pleasing to the eye. By breeding pare bred 

 stock in every department on the farm, of the best possible 

 description, is the only way the enterprising owner can hope to be 

 repaid a fair percentage on his outlay. 



The Blanches are the most numerous family, Mr. Howell having 

 secured seven of the Roan Duchess branch, so famous in the palmy 

 days of Townley, at the disperion of the Ullenwood herd, and Lady 

 Wild Eyes, a stylish young cow of considerable scale, one of the 

 first animals shown us, lies contentedly in a loose box, the number
