As a ‘trainer’ he has been singularly lucky,- and has never once yet left a showyard ~ without a Commendation or a prize. In 1857, when the herd were re- moved t'romyEarls Court to Weth? e’rby Grange (once the residence of Mr. Kit Wilson, the owner of Comus, and the. Father of the Turf) ), Captain Gunter scarcely showed at, all; but won a first heiferâ€"calf prize with Duchess 73rd at Wetherby.â€"â€" Not much was effected- in 1858, out Duchess 77th began the thing in earnest. the next year. She was calved on Nov. 24, 1857, such after the. herd’s arrival at' Wellierby, and is by SIth Duke of Oxford from Duchess 70th (a daughter of the 700-guinca Duchd css 66th of Tortworth,) which has now an heifer by her side by, Grand Duke of Wetherby, and Maria? the strongest resemblance in colouI‘ and look to its illustrious halfosister. Duchess 77th has a white bull-calf, Duke of Wetherby, by set'enth Duke of York (by sixth Duke of Oxford ‘from Duchess 69th). [Host ,. be kept at Wetherby, and as she is, now in calf to Grand Duke ‘of Wetticrby (by sixth Duke of Ox- ford, from Duchess 67th) the~ cross in both instances has been pretty close. _ She is a‘ dark rich roan, inter- speised with grey, and her gaiety of head and wonderful loin have quite passed into a proverbâ€"4 Through the heart she is not so rec markable‘ ; and, in fact, few ofthe Beitcses have that beautiful filling- , in behind the shoulders which is so noticeable in the Booth and Tutan lcy stock. gone on more steadily than shehas done with her training.- She came. out as a calfat VVetherby in 1858, and was beaten by Mr. Jolly’s Emd press of Hindustan,- which has' won so often since for Lady Pigot. In her next essay she was commended, Nothing could have i and then she was third at the Royal . to Faith and Maid of Alhelstane as. a yearling. She did not create”. much sensation there; but she seemed quite a. different animal when, after being beaten by Stanley, Rose at Darlington, in the teeth of an earnest protest from Mr. Uri-1 thank, who, without knowing what she was, marked her for the prize the moment he looked them over, she reversed that decision easily at Hull, and then Wont on with very little let hindrance in the‘show- yards. She made her ground very gradually in the Royal lists, as she was second at Canterburv to Mr. A-mblei"s VVoodi'ose, and first. the merit year in the cow class against Queen Mob, \Voodrose, 2nd Ducti: ess of Gtosler, and other good 'wins ners. The white and roan twins have each beaten her once at Ulverâ€" stone and Selby, and so did Soldier's Bride last August ,i' but she has won about twenty-two times in all. and brought eight cups, some of the challenge ones, to Captain Gunter and his heirs for ever. It is said ‘ that the Captain does not intend to risk his animals by forcing them for shows in future, but we trust to meet his roans and whites, at all events. in the heifer-calf class, at the Royal. He has won the other three female classes 1 in one year, with Duchesses 77th, 78th, and 83rd, already, besides being second for one and first and second for an; other in the previous year, and he is hardly likely to rest satisfied till 'he“ has set this calf seal on a sneeess which we believe has no parallel in herd annals.
