The name Pond was only a memory some years after the Red 

 Polled had their register. But in the spring of the year 1882 Mr. 

 Wm. Bradfield, of Elmham, told me he had acquired two Pond cows. 

 He accompanied me to the farm at Castle Rising, where there were 

 a few others. A Mr. J. Rivett had taken over from an old Mr. Wiffen, 

 of Tittleshall, Ben Pond's highly valued cows, and we found on the 

 steading a 6-yr. old cow, 2450 Polly, and three 2-yr.-old heifers. The 

 owner had intended to fatten them, but Mr. Fulcher lost no time in 

 recovery of the lot, and after much diplomacy also secured from Riv- 

 ett the bull Falstaff 303, which some six or seven years before had 

 been bred by the Rector of Elmham. Falstaff, after doing good ser- 

 vice in Norfolk, was shippeed to Mr. G. K. Taber at Pawling, New 

 York. 



Whitlingham made all the early 'milk records of the Pond 1 Norf. 

 Group. 2457 Poppy, 8-yr. old., 6,636y 2 Ib. (270); then 7,149% Ib. 

 (251), and after 2 years, her last record, 8,488% Ib. (259). Poppy's 

 daughter's records varied between 3,000 Ib. and 7,500 Ib. in the year's 

 yield. 5852 Pop 2d-4th c.-9,402% Ib., fat 5.2 (343). Pop 2d's 7412 

 Polly-3d c.-8,224 Ib. (343), and her 10619 Perfidy, 7-yr. av., 6421.83 

 Ib. (2,095), within two years record a long carrying over of the yield 

 after calving. Pop 2d's 12830 Purity gave a more steady record: 6- 

 yr. av., 6209.16 Ib. (1,976), a result that possibly was in large measure 

 due to the sire Red Prince 2902. Perfidy's 19398 Perquisite-lst c.-
