4)8 SHORTHORN HERDS OF KNUL.VND. 



she will doubtless do credit to her illustrious patents. Grand 

 Duchess 54th, has quite the Bates style and has much improved 

 since seen at Duncombe Park. T\vo young Grand Dukes appear 

 oblivious of their greatness, for being from Grand Duchess 45th, 

 and her older daughter, they will bo raised to reign over two of 

 England's leading herds, before another year passes over their heads. 

 Rowfant Duke of Leicester 5201:3, considerably improved since we 

 saw him over a year ago, is now the principal sire, since the

 the other members of the family in the pi-ice list. There has always 

 been a Gwynne included in the L T nderley herd of shorthorns, and in 

 Duchess Gwynne 8th, we behold the name revived of a bianch, which 

 when sold in 1873, made extraordinary prices, the average of the

 being somewhat heavily cushioned, retains the grandeur so well
