Richard Hill and ilr. Trumper, of Orleton. Besides those before named, there were many otjiers possessing very excellent herds, including Mr. Davis, Ladyeott; Mr. Davis, Oxhouse; Mr. Joseph Edwards, Kingsland, and Mr. W. Wheeler. Irving Park.

Mr. Smyth- ies also Iwught some of the finest of I\Ir. Yar- worth's (of Brinsop) herd, among wdiich were Countess and Lark
