On Saturday last there landed from the Union I Steam Company’s steamer Te Anau three prize shorthorn bulls and u shorthorn heifer, I imported by Messrs. Bloomfield and Wyllie, i from the Meadow Bank, Farm, Auckland, of j Messrs T. and S. Morrin. The first on the I list is the roan shorthorn bull Englishman, i calved on the 16th November, ISSI, and bred i by Messrs T. and S. Morrin. His sire was ! Cambridge Duke 10th, 42,876 “ Royal Shorthorn Society’s Herd Book,” and his dam Spring Flower, by Robin Adair (imported), and bred by the Right Hon.

His g.g. dam was Snowflake, by Eclipse SS, “N.Z. Herd Book, and his g.g.g. dam was Summer Morn 26, by Stentor 6th, 101 “N.Z.

March. 1877, having for a sire the 24th Duke of Airdrie, and for a dam Red Rose 6th, by I Cambridge Duke 4th.

The undertaking is a bold one and deserves the success which should attend such an enterprise.
