418 SHOIITHORN HRItOS OF ENGLAND. 



"Rose of Trent 2nd, from Mr. Abe Renick's Julia's 2nd Rose, of the 

 Poppy branch, considered the bast at Clintonville, and the dam of 

 this fine cow bred for Mr. Fox, Red Rose of Tees 3rd, the thiid prize 

 two year old at the Shrewsbury Royal. 



The neighbourhood of Brockton is no f devoid of shorthorns, 

 although it is several years since Messrs. Allen, B^ll and Timnicliffe 

 the fortunate owners of Eighth Duke of York 28480, which from 

 costing five hundred as a calf in 1869, was two years later the first 

 animal to exceed the price of Comet 155, sold more than half-a- 

 century previous ceased to breed Bates cattle, yet Mr. S. T. 

 Addison, at Ellenhall, has been quietly breeding pure bred stock for 

 the past thirteen years and crossing them with Bates sires, his first

 mother of a useful heifer. Barrington Duchess 2nd, however carries 

 off the prize for beauty amongst the dairy cows, as she steps gaily 

 over the turf in qui f e a regal style, as if conscious of the superiority 

 of her blood over that of her companions, and two daughters have 

 been bred by her since leaving Badminton. Greorgie Rosedale 

 and Georgie Hindlip, mother and daughter, are about as highly bred 

 specimens of Mr. Bell's G-eorgianas as can be found in this country, 

 and it will be difficult to find a Siddington Musical better topped 

 with Duchess and Oxford blood than Music Mistress, whose son has 

 been used to the heifers, his predecessor, Airdrie Duke 52391, a very 

 purely bred Craggs, was bred at Uffington, and in earlier days, Mr.
