450 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



Claribel and Lady Clara, are especially good ; Bo Peep, has bred 

 Royal Gwynne, who has turned out a winner in Mr. BUmdell's 

 ownership ; Ringlet 7th, is a nice old sort ; Petunia, a grand deep 

 rani3d red and white, is one of the best in the herd ; and Lady 

 Victoria, although very smart has not the substance of this bull's 

 get. Mr. Starkie's Baron Ashton 45888, has also a number of 

 capital heifers to his credit, Fanny Fern, traces to Sir Charles 

 Knightley's Walnut, through Fair Fanny, bought at Nunwick, 

 Heartsease, Rosewood and Sweetbriar are the only three others in 

 milk, the latter being the best shaped. Patty, amongst the heifers 

 is very blooming, as the owner after having contemplated selling 

 her for beef, considers he could not afford to lose so fine a young 

 cow. The calves are the produce of Fred Gwynne 52902, a good 

 framed animal, with capital loin and thighs, bred at East Donyland. 



On arriving at the terminus of the Kendal and Windemere 

 line, we are within sight of the Lake, whose graceful beauty enthralls 

 visitors of all nationalities, as well as the comforts in a lesser 

 degree of the Royal and Old England hostelries, over which Mrs. 

 Scott presides, and the farm of Cleabarrow, situate as it were over- 

 hanging Bowness, which is placed on the edge of a large bay of the 

 Lake, has not only supplied the hotels with farm produce, but sent 

 forth some excellent cattle to do battle in the local showyards. 

 Rosie Tufton, a very wealthy heifer, exhibited last season, is not so 

 much to our taste as the pretty and level Valegia Bland, bought at 

 the sale held by Mr. Thorn on his removal from Kirkbythore, where 

 Rose of Oxford 4th, a handsome cow of Mr. Ben AVilson's Certainty 

 tribe was also obtained, while Millionaire 53318 has been purchased 

 from the well known Inglewood herd, he is a good-looking young 

 bull, and being by the renowned Beau Benedict 42769 should leave 

 some good stock at Cleabarrow. 



Crossing the Lake, and disembarking at the Ferry Hotel, we 

 proceed by way of Sawrey, into the Yale of Esthwaite the Lake 

 being the scene of Wordsworth's fine skating description and at 

 Colthouse, at the foot of the hill, Mr. W. Satterthwaite breeds a 

 small herd of Bates cattle of the most fashionable strains of blood.
