4-f>2 SHORTHORN HERDS OE ENGLAND. 



where the herd was previously located a joint sale was held with 

 the late Mr. Kennedy at Stone Cross, when an average of 57 7s. 

 2d was secured for the twenty-six animals. S'ince that date no 

 female purchases have been made by Mr. Martin, the three tribes 

 as the Gwynnes and Minstrels may be included as one have been 

 bred as the ordinary stock of an exposed high lying farm in the 

 Lake District, Earl of Kirklevington 413168, a robust serviceable bull, 

 having succeeded Duke of Oxford 34th 36529, whose predecessor, 

 Duke of Kirklevington 6th 30982, had been sold after several years use 

 at his cost price, to go into Kentucky. The popular Gwynne family 

 consists of Flossy Gwynne 3rd, and her thirteen descendants, the 

 old lady, looking very robust in her eleventh year, carries abundance 

 of hair and flest to withstand the cold, indeed the family have 

 shown themselves particularly hardy and regular breeders since their 

 removal into a more northerly clime. Florence Gwynne and Folia 

 Gwynne, are the choicest of Flossy Gwynne 3rd's four daughters, 

 her first-born Flora Gwynne when sold at Stone Cross as a calf 

 realized 275gs, being more than the cost price of her mother two years 

 previous. Minstrel Princess 2nd, a neat quartered red, from Minstrel 

 6th, bought at the Conishead Priory sale of 1875, has bred a nice heifer 

 calf. The Waterloos consist of Lady Waterloo 29th, a stylish roan 

 grand-daughter of Lady Waterloo 26th, bred at Gaddesby, and her two 

 heifers, while Wild Eyes Belle 2nd and Wild Eyes Belle 4th, are two of 

 the nearest in proximity to a cow bred by the late Mr. Bates at 

 Kirklevington, the great grand-dam Wild Eyes 26th of the former 

 having been born in that illustrious breeder's possession. 



On returning into the Coniston road, after passing a prettily 

 situated house on the left, we have a capital mountain view, ere 

 descending into the adjoining valley, where lies Coniston Lake, 

 with the "Old Man" calmly contemplating it, and on its left side, 

 Mr. G. W. Goodison, has a few pedigree shorthorns to minister to 

 his pleasures at Coniston Bank, charmingly situate on the borders 

 of the lake. The owner's handsomest animal is Countess Ingram, 

 hailing from Mr. Handley's prize winning herd, while Belle Vue, 

 also from the neighbourhood of Milnthorpe, is very attractive.
