PREFACE.

It is with considerable diffidence that I have com-
mitted to print these notes which were compiled in such
spare time as winter evenings have afforded and, in the first
instance, for the purpose of gaining myself a clearer know-
ledge of the ramifications of the family history of existing
animals of the breed.

My acquaintance with the breed is comparatively short,
and my residence is at a considerable distance from its
native home, I must therefore ask from those having greater
knowledge of the breed, who may happen to scan these
pages, condonation of any errors and omissions.

The notes on the history of the Families are of some-
what skeleton type. Possibly, if they could be clothed by
some writer having a more intimate knowledge of the breed
during the last quarter of a century than I possess, an in-
teresting volume might be formed.

I may add that I should be glad to receive corrections
of errors, notice of omissions, or interesting facts connected
with the families and animals referred to.

I am indebted to Messrs. Macdonald & Sinclair's
" History of Polled Aberdeen or Angus Cattle " for facts in
connection with the earlier history of some of the animals
mentioned in these notes.

NOTES ON FASHION AND AN ACCOUNT OF
SOME OF THE LEADING FAMILIES OF THE

BREED.

For the information of those who may not be
well acquainted with this breed, it may be stated that
the pedigree of an animal is recorded in the female
line tracing back to the first ancestress entered in the
Herd Book and that the name of the family, to which such
animal belongs, is that of such foundation cow or of some
other distinguished ancestress in its pedigree.

It is the usual but, unfortunately, not the universal
custom, when entering an animal in the Herd Book, to
select for it a name having the same initial letter as that
of the family name, or one that in some other way forms
a means of identifying the animal with its family.

It will be noticed by anyone attending sales of this
breed, that certain animals which come into the ring cause
much more spirited bidding than other equally good-
looking animals, and it will be found that such animals
usually belong to certain families.

For want of a better word the families, to which such
bid-inspiritinganimalsbelong, are called the " fashionable "
families, there being of course degrees of fashion.

It may be of interest to consider why certain families
have become thus fashionable.

2 NOTES ON FASHION.

The answer to this would in most cases appear to be
that the females, from which such families derive their
names, were meritorious in themselves and were bred or
acquired by leading breeders in early days and, as the result
of judicious mating, produced meritorious offspring, often
successful in the Show Ring, which were either retained
for breeding in such leading herds or passed into other
carefully managed herds.

It is easy to understand that their descendants, thus
bred, would be sought after and purchased at high prices,
and that the families to which they belonged would come
to be enrolled amongst the leading or fashionable families.

In Macdonald and Sinclair's " History of Polled
Aberdeen or Angus Cattle " which carries such history to
the end of the year 1881, the " leading families," as existing
at that time, are mentioned in the Index.

There can be no doubt from a perusal of the volumes
of the Herd Books, issued about the time when the work
referred to was published, that animals of a greater variety
of families were to be found in the leading herds and that
the numbers of the members of the leading families were
more on an equahty than at the present time, possibly to
the advantage of the breed.

Taking the position of the breed at the date referred
to as a basis, some causes may be suggested which have
helped to contribute to its position now.

At the time in question the " Pride of Aberdeen," the
most celebrated of the families produced at Tillyfour, had
acquired a fame which it has since maintained ; members
of this family had during the existence of that famous herd
been freely drafted into other herds and by the dispersion of
the herd in 1880 the family may be said to have been placed
in the hands of other breeders by whom its reputation and

NOTES ON FASHION. 3

numbers have been well sustained ; it is by far the most
numerously represented family in the Herd Book of to-day,
though, while mentioning particularly this branch of the
*' Queen Mother " tribe, the claims to excellence of other
branches of such tribe must not be overlooked.

At that time also the " Ericas " raised at Ballindalloch
(a word which is written large across the history of the
progress of the breed) had acquired a fame which has
continued and increased.

The careful management and mating in that celebrated
herd which led to the high position attained by the family
referred to have also naturally brought into prominence
other families which were raised there and branches of
other families descended from such of their members as
have been inmates of that herd.

At the date referred to (the end of 1881) it may, it is
believed, be correctly stated that only four Erica females
had been parted with from Ballindalloch to home breeders
including only one of the coveted Trojan-Erica section of
the family, and it was not until the draft sale held in 1886
that any members of this family were exposed for sale at
public auction.

Then, and at the subsequent periodical draft sales,
breeders have had opportunities, which they have readily
grasped, of purchasing members of this fashionable family,
a result of which has no doubt been that it has been
cultivated in some leading herds to the displacement to a
certain extent of members of other good families — that it
has been cultivated is clear from the fact that it now stands
next to the *' Pride of Aberdeen " as regards numbers of
annual entries in the Herd Book.

Another operation affecting the relative positions of
families has been the rise or increase of the export trade

with the United States as the buyers from that country,
where notions inchne to the intense, fixed on a strictly
Hmited number of famihes or branches of famihes, com-
prising the two referred to above and a few others, as being
those of which the members were considered worthy of
being received into their herds.

The natural result has been that the fashionableness
of such families has been intensified and that home
breeders, in order to accommodate their customers, have
retained or procured, as opportunity occurred, members of
such selected families.

As breeders have only accommodation for a certain
number of cattle on their farms, this has led to the gradual
disappearance from many herds of members of what were
known as leading families at the date of the publication
to which reference has been made.

It will be found, as the result of these operations, that
at the present time in many of the leading herds a large
portion of the cattle are members of the families which
have thus become most fashionable, and that the percent-
age of the entries in the Herd Book of members of such
families, as compared with those of members of other
families, has very much increased.*

It ought however to be mentioned that there are some
old-established and well-known herds which apparently
have not been ruffled by this possibly passing breeze, and
where no displacement appears to have been effected of
families which have been bred there from early days and it
is possible that in the future evolution of fashion they may
be rewarded for such placidity.

There can be no doubt that fashion in cattle, as in
other things, when it tends to become a craze, is apt to be

* See Appendix.

NOTES ON FASHION. 5

harmful and this has been exemplified to some extent as
regards this breed in recent years by inferior specimens of
the most fashionable families being retained and bred from
at the expense of better animals of other families, which
have found their way to the " block " or to herds in which
from less careful mating their progeny have degenerated,
or from neglect of registration have disappeared from the
pages of the Herd Book.

Another ill effect of the period of intensity of fashion,
now apparently somewhat on the wane, has been that the
desire to make cattle doubly fashionable has tended to
promote inbreeding.

The present position then, shortly, seems to be that
certain families which twenty-five years ago occupied a
leading place in the list of families have increased their lead
and also their numbers — that other families, in the list of
leading families then, remain there still though in some
cases not so strong in numbers — that other families, not in
the list of leading families then, have gained by their per-
formances in the interval a right to a place there now —
and that other less known families now, as then, exist
which probably only require the opportunity to take a
more forward place.

Such being the position, it would seem that those
desirous of starting herds or of infusing fresh blood into
their herds, if they wish to obtain animals of the best
breeding and therefore most likely to breed true to type,
would find their selection much curtailed by setting fashion
at defiance, but that they would do well to realize that, to
get good specimens of fashionable families, they must be
prepared to pay the price which they command.

The following is a short account of some of the various
tribes, families, and branches as they appear to exist at

the present time, but it is not intended to suggest that
there are not other equally good families as some of those
referred to, or that the merits of the families are to be
estimated by the length of notes respecting them.

The Erica family and Queen Mother tribe are given
the precedence, the remainder following in alphabetical
order.

SOME LEADING FAMILIES OF THE BREED.

ERICA.

The name of this family is derived from the cow
Erica 8^3, which was bred at Kinnaird in 1857, her dam
being Emily 332, a daughter of a cow bred at Keillor
called * Beauty,' said to be probably Beauty of Keillor
6go.

Erica, described "as not a very large cow but standing
on very short legs and having a lovely feminine head and
splendid quality," was a prize winner and passed to
Ballindalloch* in 1861, where she produced the bulls
Cupbearer of Ballindalloch 658, 2nd at the H.A.S. and
R.N. Shows| 1870, as a two year old, and used at
Hillockhead — Exciseman 473 used in the herd — and
Elcho 595 which went to Advie but was repurchased for
Ballindalloch, where he was the sire of some well-known
animals, and was subsequently used at Cortachy and
Glamis, but returned again to Ballindalloch, where he
died — and the following daughters : — Erica 2nd 1284 by
Chieftain 318, Eisa 977 and Enchantress 981 both by
Trojan 402, and Ella 1205 by Kildonan 405.

The descendants from these cows are classified as
* Chieftain-Ericas,' ' Trojan-Ericas,' and * Kildonan-
Ericas ' respectively.

Chieftain-Ericas.

Erica 2nd 1285 is represented through her daughters
Erica 3rd 1249 and Erica 4th 1697 both by Trojan 402.

I Erica 3rd went to Hillockhead as a calf and pro-
duced there Miss McPherson 1252 which passed eventu-
ally at a high price to Cortachy ; at the buoyant sale

there in 1882 this cow, a great milker, made 300 guineas,
her yearling heifer Erinna 5094 380 guineas, and her
heifer calf Elmissa 5091 300 guineas, but these high-
priced females are not now apparently represented in the
Herd Book.

Another daughter of Erica 3rd was Erica 9th 3822,
from which was bred Essence 4547, 2nd as a yearling and
two year old at the H.A.S. Shows 1881-2, which went at
loi guineas to Kinnaird and there produced Amanda
Erica 9251, the dam at Kirkbridge of the well-known
bull Fairy King of Kirkbridge 11662 ist at the H.A.S.,
R.N., and R.A.S.E.* Shows in 1897 and a very success-
ful sire, especially of females, in the Glamis herd.

Amanda Erica is represented in the female line
through Galatea of Lauriston 12802 at Cullen, Lynemore
Ballintomb, Doonholm, and elsewhere, and, through
Amaryllis 18326, the dam at Aldbar of Erica Essence
25171 which passed to Glamis and with her off-spring
made good prices at the sale there in 1904, at Aldbar,
Auchnaguie and Hayston. Amanda Erica is also still
represented at Kirkbridge.

The most celebrated produce, however, of Erica 3rd
was the bull Young Viscount 736, bred at Hillockhead,
1st as a yearling, two-year-old, and aged bull at the
H.A.S. Shows 1874-5-6, which in 1878 went to
Ballindalloch at 225 guineas (then a record price) and
was there a most noted sire, especially of females,
including the cows Edelweiss 5605, Elba 7045, Pride of
the Tervie 7060, and Blushing Maid 7042, mentioned
hereafter.

In " Macdonald and Sinclair's History " Young Vis-
count is described at the H.A.S. Show, 1876, as looking

almost perfect in form, and as deep, square, and level,
and, though lacking length of neck a trifle, a head and
shoulders above his compeers in the class.

An interesting account of this bull is given in an
article by Mr. George Hendry on " Famous Aberdeen-
Angus Sires," which is included in Vol. X. of the H.A.S.
Transactions 1898, in which special reference is made to
his success as a sire at Ballindalloch, and it is stated
that "both as a show bull and a stock bull he was
entitled to be considered the greatest Aberdeen-Angus
sire which the century had produced."

II Erica 4th passed to Duff House, and bred there
the bull St. Clair 1160, a ist H.A.S. prizewinner as a
yearling and two-year-old in 1875-6, and is represented
through her daughter Erica 6th 3023, a prizewinner,
which went to Hillockhead, and thence with her daughter
Easter 4540 and other offspring to Bradley Hall, where
from Easter was bred Elissa 7934.

Elissa passed to the Balliol College or Benton herd,
and there, through her daughters Exact 11768 and
Elissann 13082, founded a strain of cattle which have been
distinguished in the sale and show ring, of which may
be particularly mentioned the cow Elite of Benton
24772, 3rd at the H.A.S. Show 1899 and ist at the
R.A.S.E. Show 1900, and the fine cow Effulgent of
Danesfield 23527 which gained so many champion and
other prizes in recent years for the Danesfield herd, and
was ist and Champion at the R.A.S.E. Shows 1903 and
1904, and 2nd at the H.A.S. Show 1904; also Exactly
So 14134, dam of the high priced bulls Earl Benton 9099
and Esmond of Benton 14368, and grand-dam of the
bull Edward VII. 19022, a successful sire in the
Milverton (Ireland) herd and now in the Langshott herd.

10 ERICA.

This strain is still represented at Benton and else-
where. From Easter was also bred, at Bradley Hall,
Egesta ig979, which passed to Finnstown (Ireland), and
was sold in her sixteenth year with some of her progeny
at the dispersion of that herd in September 1907, going
to Kilquade and elsewhere.

Erica 4th in 1877 passed at loi guineas to Cor-
tachy, and bred there Emerald of Airlie 3878, sold at the
Cortachy Sale in 1882 for 500 guineas; also Erica of
Cortachy 13274, a grandson of which was Epigram of
Cortachy 8292, a successful stock bull in the Tedfold
herd. This strain is still represented at Cortachy, and
also at Maisemore, Auchorachan, Hyde Hall, and in other
herds.

Trojan-Ericas.

Eisa 977 and Enchantress 987 were retained at
Ballindalloch and until 1886 none of their produce were
offered for public sale and very few were sold privately.

It would take too much space to enumerate any
considerable portion of the successes of their descen-
dants, whether bred at Ballindalloch or elsewhere, and
the following notes of some of them must suffice.

Eisa 977, described as a remarkably sweet, lady-like,
evenly balanced cow, was 2nd in 1870 and ist in 1871 at
the H.A.S. Show, and was the dam of the bull Etonian
1658, sire of the famous bull Iliad 2843, and is repre-
sented through her daughters ;

I. EYa 984, 2nd at the H.A.S. Shows 1876-7, from
which was bred, amongst others :

(i) Eveline 3372, a prolific breeder at Ballindalloch
up to her 17th year, of whose daughters may be men-
tioned :

(a) Electra 4186, 2nd at the H.A.S. Show 1884, ^^om

ERICA. II

which was bred Elkara 9926, and from her Elenthera
13704. Eleuthera passed to Minmore in 1895, and
thence to Blairmore, from her grand-daughter Eloquent
30084, bred in the latter herd, was bred at Dalmeny
Eloquent of Dalmeny 2nd 39514, Champion Female and
Reserve Champion at the Smithfield Show 1907.

Eleuthera produced at Ballindalloch the handsome
cow Kola 1925 1, dam of the good breeding bull Eimeo
12450 used at Blairmore, Maisemore, and Ardargie, also
of Eldoma 24200, which in 1902 passed to Dalvey at
210 guineas but left at Ballindalloch Elcynthia 31936,
dam of the high priced bull Elchi 23093 which went to
Ardargie. Eola in 1897 passed to Laggan, where she has
bred. Another daughter of Eleuthera was Elenca 20554,
represented by her daughters Elassona 25488, dam of the
220 guineas bull Elandslaaghte 17745, used at Abergeldie
Mains and Eshott, and of Edward R. 19027, which went
at 140 guineas to Laggan and thence at a high figure for
export — and Ecila 33756, dam of Eclipser of Ballindalloch
26733, which at the Perth Sale 1908 went at 170 guineas
to Mulben.

Elkara was also the dam of Elapis 17936, which
went as a two-year-old in 1893 at 125 guineas to Castle-
craig and was sold with her offspring at high prices at
that dispersion sale in 1899. Of such offspring, a grand-
daughter Elaphtha 25423 passed to Rosebrae and at
that dispersion sale in 1903 this cow and her daughter
Euterpe 30820, which has since passed to Eshott, were
sold at high prices. She is represented at Ardross,
Balnouckh and elsewhere.

Other daughters of Electra were : —

Eloquence 11207, dam of Elocution 19249, which in

12 ERICA.

1895 went to Kilbride (Ireland) and is also represented in
the Kilquade herd.

Eleusa 12428, which passed privately to Dalmore for
^150 as a two-year-old, from which is descended the fine
bull Elate 165 13, bred at South Ella, which went to
Maisemore as a yearling in igoo and was ist and Reserve
for Champion at the R.A.S.E. Show, 1901, and Champion
at the H.A.S. and R.A.S.E. and other Shows in 1902,
and was used as stock bull in that herd, to which his
dam Elite 24028 also passed at the South Ella Sale in
1901 ; from Eleusa is also descended Ella of Auchnaguie
25838, dam of the bull Ellamere 17757, which went at
140 guineas to Wyrley Grove and was sold for export,
and of Erello 21861, ist as a two-year-old at the H.A.S.
Show, 1905, and in use at Auchnaguie.

Elasticity 13703 sold in 1890 at 150 guineas to go to
Stonehurst, a daughter of which Elasticity 2nd of
Stonehurst 22422 passed in 1894 as a calf to Langshott
where she bred, and at the sale there in 1901 went to
Eshott and thence to Auchorachan and finally to Cullen
House. Daughters of this cow made good prices at the
Eshott Sale in 1906 and the Auchorachan Sale in 1907,
going to Kinochtry and Deskford : another daughter,
Elasticity of Langshott 26532, which went to Greatham
in 1901, was sold with her progeny at the dispersion of
that herd in 1906, going to Ruthven and Eshott.

(6) Ethylene 4674, whose daughter Ettina 11209 was
sold in 1886 and in 1898 produced at Cullen House
Ettina Erica 27485, the dam of Juana Erica 36285 which
in 1905 went to Harviestoun and was ist, as a two-year-
old, and ist and Champion, as a cow, at the H.A.S. Shows
1905-6, and Champion at the R.A.S.E. Show 1907.

(c) Everilda 12433 which passed to Balgreen and

ERICA. 13

there bred Ena 21026, which went back to Ballindalloch
and was dam of the bull Enochdhu 21848, sold for 150
guineas to Balthayock and used there, and of Enante
30133, which in 1902 went to Ardargie at 160 guineas.

(d) Echiveria 16486 dam of the bull Echador 16496,
which at the Perth Sale in 1900 went to Kinochtry
at 360 guineas and has been used there, also of Encolonia
19250, which passed to Abergeldie Mains as a yearling
in 1893 and is represented there and also at Eshott and
Maisemore, and of Ecstasy of Ballindalloch 24199 which
went as a yearling in 1897 to The Dell at 56 guineas and
is represented in that herd.

(e) Evidence 16496, that in 1890 went to Selaby,
where she bred well : at that dispersion sale in 1905 her
daughters Estimate of Selaby 25617 and Evenlode
33963 and grand-daughter Estimation 33962, 2nd at the
R.A.S.E. Show that year, went at high prices to
Rockliffe Park : and a descendant. Eyelid 37548, which went
as a yearling to Harviestoun at 115 guineas, was a prize-
winner at the Dublin and other shows in 1906. Evidence
left in the Ballindalloch herd a daughter Evincive 22996
(which was sold but bought back), daughters of which
produced the bulls Everard of Ballindalloch 21902 in use
in the herd, Evolsurus 21908, sold in 1904 for 355 guineas
as stock bull for the Hursley Park herd, where he has
proved a successful sire, and Everlasting of Ballindalloch
24435, sold to Stenhouse in 1906 for 270 guineas and ist
at the H.A.S. Show the same year as a yearling and 2nd
in 1907 as a two-year-old.

(2) Edelweiss 5605 (another daughter of Eva) was
the dam of the famous bulls Esmond of Ballindalloch
8304, ist prize at the H.A.S. Show 1893 and used
successfully at Preston Bissett and Benton, and Edric

14 ERICA.

91 10 ist and Champion at the R.N. Show 1898, and 2nd
at the H.A.S. Shows 1895 and 1897, used at Dalmore
whence he passed at 235 guineas to Naughton, where he
was sire of the well-known bull Mailbag, and thence at
240 guineas to Auchorachan.

A daughter of Edelweiss was Evergreen 9929 which
in 1890 went to Minmore and in 1891 passed to
Auchorachan at 310 guineas. One of her daughters Elba
of Minmore 18496 was sold to Pitpointie and there bred
the bull Egmont of Pitpointie 15367, 2nd as a two-year-
old at the H.A.S. Show 1890 and used at Eshott success-
fully, also Eglantine of Pitpointie 39827 sold at the Perth
Joint Sale in 1907 as a two-year-old heifer to Knockanbuie
at 61 guineas — another Evergreen 2nd 21838 went in
1898 to Maisemore, where she bred well and is repre-
sented. Some of her produce were sold at the draft sale
there in 1905 at good prices to go to Rockliffe Park —
another daughter of Edelweiss was Edelite 15041 dam of
the bull Edenhall 12442 which went at 100 guineas to
Dalmeny and was second as a yearling, two-year-old, and
aged bull at the H.A.S. Shows 1896-7-8, also of the bulls
Encombe 19060 and Edelhof 20416, which made high
prices at the Perth Sale, and are in use as stock bulls at
Theakston and Laggan respectively.

n. Echo 2976 (another daughter of Eisa) was second
at the H.A.S. Show 1878 and went in 1881 to Kinnaird
but left at Ballindalloch, amongst others, Equity 4671
which passed to Rosehaugh in 1886 at 250 guineas and
has descendants there, but had previously produced at
BaUindalloch Equahty 11208.

From Equation 15047, a daughter of Equality, came
the bull Equestrian 9953 which went to Auchorachan and
was ist as a two-year-old in 1894 and ist and Champion

ERICA. 15

at the H.A.S. Show and ist at the R.N. and R.A.S.E.
Shows in 1895, and was used in that herd — from
Equivocation 16489, another daughter of Equahty there
are descendants in the herd and others which have been
sold at high prices, including Equipoise 24201 which
passed in 1902 at 250 guineas to Auchorachan of which a
daughter Equipoise of Auchorachan 35617 went at the
sale in 1907 to Wester Elchies at 51 guineas.

Equality was sold at 150 guineas in 1890 to go to
South Ella and was ist at the H.A.S. Show in 1893 ; her
descendants made high prices at that dispersion sale in
igoi, two of them going back to Ballindalloch and
another to Doonholm.

Echo produced at Kinnaird Esmeralda Erica 6099
which went to Dalmore and is represented through Erica
of Dalmore 11396 at Auchorachan, whence at the Sale in
1907 a descendant Erica Fairy 5th 39038 passed as a
two-year-old to Ballindalloch at 85 guineas, and through
Erica of Dalmore 2nd 12617, which went to BalHndal-
loch in 1891, where from a daughter Elfish Erica 22993
have been bred three bulls Earl Elfin 17718, Earl
Eloquent 20388, and Earl Elvan 21765 which made high
prices at the Perth Sales 1901-3 and 4 and went respec-
tively to Droagh, Laughton, and Preston Bissett. From
Evening Echo 31940 a half-sister of these bulls was bred,
Earl Echo of Ballindalloch 26706 which at the Perth
Show and Sale 1908 was first in the young class and went
at 180 guineas to Ruthven. Females of this strain have
passed to Aberlour and Balliemore.

III. Eila 3795 (another daughter of Eisa) was the
dam of the bulls Sir Evelyn 2340, 2nd at the H.A.S.
Show 1882 and sire of Elegy 7046 a ist H.A.S. winner,

l6 ERICA.

and Erroll 2723 used successfully in the herd, but does
not appear to be represented in the female line.

IV. Eugenie of Ballindalloch 5170 (another daughter
of Eisa) represented through a grand-daughter Eulima
15050, which went to Mains of Fordie, by numerous
descendants bred there ; also through a daughter,

This cow was the dam of the two well-know^n bulls,
full brothers, Esquire 5346, ist as a two-year-old and as
an aged bull at the H.A.S. Shows, i888-g, and used at

and were retained in the Ballindalloch herd.

From Ebrillade were bred Ebullition 22990, which

ERICA. 21

the H.A.S. and R.N. Shows, 1906, but unfortunately died
early the following year.

Eblana was the dam of the well-known bull Eblito
14306, used extensively at Ballindalloch and sire of many
high-priced bulls, and of the bull Eblamere 21781, ist as
a yearling at the H.A.S. Show, 1904, also retained

From Eblana was also bred Ebbtide of Ballin-
dalloch 28470, dam of the bull Ebbero 20399, sold at
Perth in 1903 to Dalmeny for 480 guineas, and first the
same year as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show, and
Eblanita 30122, dam of the bull Eboniser 21782 sold at
Perth, 1904 for 165 guineas as a stock bull for the
Swaylands herd, where he is in use and has gained
prizes at shows in the south of England, and of Ebon of
Ballindalloch 26718, which at the Perth sale, 1908, went
to Aberlour at 140 guineas, and Ebanista 24197, which
went to Ballintomb in 1897 as a yearling, where she has
produced some young stock sold at high prices.

Of other daughters of Elba may be mentioned :

Elixir 21809, 2nd as a two-year-old and cow at the
H.A.S. Shows 1896-8, and her daughter, Ellipsis 26908,

to Aberlour.

(4) Elgina 7047, which went in 1886 at 200 guineas
to Blairmore, from whose granddaughter, Eerock of
Blairmore 26839, which passed at the dispersion of that
herd to Auchorachan, was bred the bull England 23124,
ist as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show, 1905, which
went back to Ballindalloch, where he gave evidence

22 ERICA.

of ^reat promise as a sire, but unfortunately died young,
as the result of an accident.

Elga 1 1206, a daughter of Elgina, passed by private
sale from BaUindalloch to Caerhays (Cornwall), and at
that sale in 1890 to Preston Bissett, where she produced
Elga 4th 17562, dam of the bull Eglamore 11618, 3rd at
the H.A.S. Show, 1895, as a yearling, and used as a
stock bull in that herd, and other good stock, including
the bull Engineer of Preston 15403, which was used
successfully at Hattonslap.

Representatives of the Trojan-Ericas have been sold
at the seven draft sales held at BaUindalloch during the
period 1886-1905 at high prices, the best average having
apparently been reached at the sale in 1902, when.it
amounted to some 160 guineas for nine animals of this
strain, no doubt as the result of the somewhat extensive
U.S.A. demand for specimens of this branch about that
time. These or their descendants are to be found in
many of the leading herds, and there appears to be a
somewhat extensive colony of the strain in the " Grant-
land " herds on Spey-side.

KILDONAN-ERICAS.

Ella 1205 went to Garline, and is represented
through her daughters :

I. Emma of Garline 1733, which passed at 80

ERICA. 25

her daughter, Erica Blossom, was sold at the butchers'
market, when more than 17 years old, for over £20. The
cows of this strain at Preston Bissett have not only been
long lived, but are stated to have all been good milkers.

export, but produced in this country : Esther of
Aberlour 4843, of which a daughter, Eroica 6124,

The Erica family now stands second in point of
numbers and, as will be gathered from the above notes,
holds a leading position as regards the honours gained
and prices realised by its members.

At Tillyfour she was the dam of the bulls Heir of
Glory 1746, which went to Guisachan at 135 guineas, and
of Heir of Paris 1917.

This cow passed to Waterside, where she bred :

Pride of Aberdeen 42nd 1 1949, which wenttoMinmore,
and at that sale in 1891 passed at 95 guineas to Dalmore
and was there sold in 1893 for 61 guineas, her heifer calf
Pure Pride 20756 going at the same sale to Auchorachan
at 50 guineas, of which a descendant, Pure Pride E 23044,
was sold in 1905 to Ballindalloch for 56 guineas.

Also Pride of Aberdeen 65th 17373, which passed to
Auchorachan, and at the sale there in 1898 her daughter,
Pride of Aberdeen 120th 25513, was sold as a yearling to
BalHndalloch for 52 guineas.

Pride of Aberdeen 7th passed to Balquharn in 1878 at
50 guineas, and thence to Waterside, where she pro-
duced the following daughters :

44 PRIDE OF ABERDEEN.

(2) Waterside Pride 7th 6325, which went to Aboyne,
where she bred :

Pride of Coull 13836, which passed to Castlecraig and
was the dam of Pride of Kirkurd 20522, which at the
Castlecraig sale in 1897 went to Tedfold at 100 guineas,
and was ist at the R.A.S.E. Show, 1898 — also of Pride
of Skirling 21762, which at the dispersion sale in 1899
went to Abergeldie at 81 guineas, and was at Castlecraig
the dam of Pride of Skaurlinn 25444, sold at the same
sale for 47 guineas, and of Pride of SkraveHn 28405,
exported to the U.S.A. and sold there in 1903 for £200.

Pride of Coull went to Spott and at the Hatton of
Eassie Sale in 1901 her daughter, a handsome heifer,
Dashing Pride 31 126, was sold as a yearling to Aldbar at
81 guineas, and has since passed to Auchorachan.

At the same sale Pride of Skaurlinn went to Tochi-
neal at 80 guineas, and her yearling heifer Peebles Pride
31 1 16 to Aldbar at 50 guineas.

(3) Pride of Aberdeen 34th 7976, which went to
Aberlour and there bred Portia of Aberlour 16355, which
went to Linkwood and there bred Pride of Linkwood
19720, which passed to Wryley Grove and is represented
there through Pride of Norton 28827.

(4) Pride of Aberdeen 35th 9458, of which a daughter,
Pride of Aberdeen 96th 22523, passed to Benton and
thence in 1902 to Danesfield at no guineas.

(5) Pride of Aberdeen 44th 11950, of which a daughter.
Pride of Aberdeen 59th 16100, went to Pitcairlie, from
which cow is descended the bull Jim of Delvin 20691, bred
at Delvin (Ireland), which went to Hayston and was 2nd
as a two-year-old and ist as an aged bull and champion
at the H.A.S. Show 1904-5. From this cow came also

EMPRESS OF FRANCE OR DANDY OF DRUMIN. 45

Prejudice of Alwalton 25095, which passed to Preston
Bissett and bred well there.

This family, Pride of Aberdeen, stands first in point
of numbers and, as will be seen from the above notes,
while some branches of it have gained greater distinction
than others, they have all produced many prize-winning
and meritorious animals.

EMPRESS OF FRANCE

OR

DANDY OF DRUMIN.

Empress of France 578, an elder and full sister of
Pride of Aberdeen, was calved in 1855 at Tillyfour. She
gained the H.A.S. Medal as a two year old in 1858, and
was 2nd at the R.N. Show in 1859, and went in i860 to
Kinnaird.

Before leaving Tillyfour Empress of France produced
Dandy of Drumin 949, which passed to Drumin at the
Tillyfour sale 1867 and there bred the bull Knight of
Aven 775, 3rd as a two year old at the H.A.S. Show,
1874, a fine bull, which appears in several good pedigrees.

From Dandy of Drumin was also bred at Drumin
Nancy of Tillyfour 1779, which went back to Tillyfour
and there produced Lenore 2195, which passed to
Auchlossan and thence to Goodwood, where she appears
to be still represented.

Nancy of Tillyfour went to Aberlour, where she
produced Pride of Aberlour 5990, represented through
her daughters :

(a) Peggy of Aberlour 11643, which passed to
Woodhead and there bred some good cattle including
Queen 2nd of Lynemore 17835, 2nd at the R.N. Show

46 EMPRESS OF FRANCE OR DANDY OF DRUMIN.

1895, and a considerable prizewinner at local shows,
and Queen 4th of Lynemore 20478, of which a daughter.
Black Queen 2nd of Woodhead 26814, passed in 1898 to
Langshott, and there bred Dandy of Langshott 29669,
sold in 1901 to Tedfold, whence she was sold for export
to the U.S.A., and was there dam of a bull and heifer,
which were prizewinners at numerous shows in the
U.S.A. in 1904-5, the cow herself gaining prizes *' for
produce." Another daughter. Black Queen 3rd of Wood-
head 28372, went to Danesfield, and was a prizewinner
in England in 1902. This strain is represented at Wood-
head, Eastertown, Lisnabreeny (Ireland), and elsewhere.
From Pride of Aberlour was also bred at Aberlour
Mains :

(b) Pcean 12887, which passed to Aberlour House.
Some good descendants from this cow were sold at the
Aberlour draft sale in 1905, going to Balthayock and
elsewhere.

Pride of Aberlour also passed to Aberlour House,
where she bred :

(c) Prudentia 16356, which went to Ballintomb,
and has there produced some excellent stock. One of
her daughters. Propriety of Aberlour 24089, passed to
Maisemore, and has bred there.

Dandy of Drumin passed from Drumin to Wester-
town, and at the dispersion of that herd in 1874 went to
Melville, where there was bred from her Young Dandy
2277.

A daughter of this cow. Dandy 2nd of Melville 3266
(afterwards sold for export to the U.S.A.), went to
Bridgend, and there bred Dandy Empress 5189 on the
4th March, 1882. Dandy Empress, according to the
Herd Book, on the 21st May 1883 produced Eugenie

EMPRESS OF FRANCE OR DANDY OF DRUMIN. 47

Empress 8863 by Kentigern (a bull calved on the 5th
March 1882), which would indicate a very early mating
of the parents of Eugenie Empress.

Eugenie Empress, the result of this apparent pre-
cocity, went to Dalmore, and thence to South Ella ; in
the latter herd was bred from her Black Empress 14861,
1st as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show i8go, and
Champion at the Birmingham Fat Stock Show, and
Scotch Champion at Smithfield in 1891.

There was bred from Eugenie Empress, at Dalmore,
Eugenie Empress 2nd 12618, which went to Pitpointie,
where a considerable number of females were bred of
this strain.

Of these Princess Eugenie 2nd 17400 appears to
have gone to Droagh, Ireland, and to have bred there :
another. Princess Eugenie 6th 21288, a grand-daughter
of Eugenie Empress 2nd, passed to Naughton in 1895 at
60 guineas, and at that dispersion sale in i8g6 to South
Ella at 61 guineas. Her progeny, Black Empress 2nd
25326 and others, made good prices at the South
Ella dispersion sale in 1901, going to Eshott,
Levitstown (Ireland), and elswhere. Of these a grand-
daughter, Quines 29954, which went to Doonholm, was
2nd in 1903 and ist in 1904 as a cow at the H.A.S.
Show.

At the same sale Princess Eugenie 6th, then in her
ninth year (a neat and typical cow), passed to Lang-
shott at 68 guineas, where she bred a bull, Dandy Prince
20327, ist in the young class at the Birmingham Show
1903, and used at Butterstocks and since at Goscote
as a stock bull ; also two females, one of which, Queenie
of Langshott 36912, was a prizewinner, as a yearling in
1905, and has bred in the herd.

48 DAISY OR VINE OF TILLYFOUR.

Princess Eugenie 7th 22542, a full sister of Princess
Eugenie 6th mentioned above, passed to Moncur, from
a daughter of which, Eugenie of Moncur 32940, were
bred there some good bulls which appeared at the Perth
Spring Sales 1905-6-7.

From Empress Queen 4518, another daughter of
Young Dandy at Melville, was bred May Queen of
Melville 6597, which passed to Collithie and has descend-
ants in the Broughton herd ; also Fairy Queen of
Melville 10963, represented at Struthers.

DAISY OR VINE OF TILLYFOUR.

Daisy of Tillyfour 1165, another full sister of Pride
of Aberdeen, gained ist prize as a yearling in i860, as a
cow in 1864, and the Gold Medal in 1865 and 1868 at
the H.A.S. Shows, and ist prize and Challenge Cup at
the R.N. Show, 1868.

From her was bred Yine of Tillyfour 1167. Vine of
Tillyfour produced at Tillyfour :

(i) Dido of Tillyfour 3257, of which a daughter,
Flora of Earnside 2113, passed to Altyre, where there
were bred numerous " Floras of Altyre," now represented
at Cullen House and Kildrummy.

(2) Dora of Aboyne 1282, which went to Aboyne
and was ist at the H.A.S. Show 1875.

(3) Diana of Tillyfour 1782, sold at the Tillyfour sale,
1874 for 76 guineas to Cortachy, where she produced
Dido 3054, which, with her dam, passed to Ballunie.

Of the offspring of Dido may be mentioned Pride of
Ballunie 3301 which went to Burnshangie, whose grand-

DAISY OR VINE OF TILLYFOUR. 49

daughter, Pride of Burnshangie 4th 21050, passed at the
Burnshangie Sale to Auchorachan.

A daughter of this cow, Pride B of Auchorachan
23013, went in 1898 to Aberlour, and was there dam of
the bull Performer of Aberlour 17018, " a bull of beautiful
symmetry, but somewhat wanting in size," 2nd as an
aged bull at the H.A.S. Show 1902, and used in the
herd. Some good females of this strain have been
bred at Auchorachan, one of which. Pride B. 6th of
Auchorachan 37440, also went to Aberlour and was 3rd
as a two year old at the H.A.S. and R.N. Shows, 1906.

Vine Pride 1 1738, a daughter of Pride of Ballunie,
bred at Ballunie, also went to Burnshangie, of which a
granddaughter. Pride of Burnshangie 21047, passed to
Aldbar and was there dam of the bull Delamere 13305
sold at Perth 1897 for 185 guineas as stock bull for
Auchnaguie, and 2nd at the H.A.S. Show that year, ist
at the R.A.S.E. as a two-year-old, and 2nd at the same
show as an aged bull in 1899 and 1900, and 3rd at the
H.A.S. Show, 1901.

At Auchnaguie he was the sire of some good and
high priced bulls, including Ben Vrackie 16290 stock bull
at the Burn and the Champion bull Maramere 18160,
which went to Eshott, mentioned later in these notes.

Delamere passed to Ballindalloch and was there also
a most successful sire of bulls. In fact statistics would
appear to justify the opinion that he was the best bull-
getter in that herd since his grandsire Iliad.

This bull unfortunately died while still in his prime
late in 1904.

Pride of Burnshangie also bred at Aldbar the bull
Diaz 14272, full brother to Delamere, which went at the
Perth Sale 1898 at 90 guineas to Careston and had a

50 DAISY OR VINE OF TILLYFOUR.

great show career, being ist as a yearling, two-year- old,
and aged bull at the H.A.S. Shows i8g8, i8gg, and igoo,
and champion in igoo. He was also ist at the R.A.S.E.
Show igoo, (where his brother Delamere stood 2nd)
and was used as a stock bull at Careston, where he got
some good stock, but his fame appears to rest rather on
his performances in the show ring than as a sire.

Pride of Burnshangie is still represented in the
Aldbar herd.

Another daughter of Dido was Vine of Ballunie
g8i2, of which a descendant, Vine of Ballunie i6th
igi46, passed to Spott, and there bred Verdant Vine
2g445, which went in igoi at gi guineas as a two-year-
old heifer to Glamis, and at that sale in igo4 at 165
guineas to Bywell Hall, and her yearling daughter
Vellozia of Glamis 36440, at 105 guineas to the same
herd. Vintage of Glamis 34705, which Verdant Vine
was carrying when she passed to Glamis, was Breed
Champion at the Smithfield Show, igo4. This strain is
still represented at Spott.

Dido appears to have passed to Kinochtry and to
have bred there some " Daisy Prides," of which there are
descendants in the Kinochtry, Maisemore, Cromdale,
and Banks herds, and no doubt elsewhere.

From Vine of Tillyfour was also bred :

(4) Vine 8th 3252, of which there are representatives
in the Fordie and Forneth herds.

(5) Vine gth 3256, which in 1878 passed as a
yearling to Aboyne, and there bred Vanity of Aboyne
6122, of which there are descendants at Swaylands and
Achindunie. Vine gth at the Aboyne Sale in 1881 went
to Haynes Park at 115 guineas, and is numerously repre-
sented at Milford House (Ireland).

ROSIE OF TILLYFOUR. 5I

ROSIE OF TILLYFOUR.

Rosie of Tillyfour 5997, a half-sister of Pride of
Aberdeen, was calved in 1866 and passed from Tillyfour
to Torphins, where from her was bred Rosie Belle 5998.

Rosie Belle produced at Torphins Rosy Queen 521 1,
which went to Bridgend. Her daughter, Rosy Queen 2nd
8868, passed at the Bridgend Sale in 1883 to Dalmore,
and then bred Rosy Queen 3rd 11404.

Rosy Queen 2nd and Rosy Queen 3rd appear to have
gone to Caerhays Castle (Cornwall).

Of the former a daughter, Rosy Queen 4th 15812,
went to Halewood, and was lately represented there.
Another daughter, Rosy Queen 5th 15813, passed to
Skegby, where there were bred numerous females of this
strain. Of these, Rosy Queen 5th of Skegby 33331, went
in 1903 to Langshott, and has bred bulls of considerable
merit.

From the latter (Rosy Queen 3rd) was bred at
Caerhays the bull Pilchard 7827, which passed to
Burnshangie, and was there sire of Pride of Burnshangie
21047, mentioned in the notes on the Daisy or Vine
family as dam at Aldbar of the famous bulls Delamere
and Diaz.

So far as can be gathered from the Herd Book, this
branch would appear to be nearly extinct.

DUCHESS OF WESTERTOWN.

Duchess of Westertown 927 was bred in i860 at Tilly-
four, her dam Favourite of Tillyfour 1237 (a half-sister
of Charlotte) being by Hanton 238, the sire of Pride of
Aberdeen, and her sire Rob Roy Macgregor 267 being

52 DUCHESS OF WESTERTOWN.

also by Hanton and out of Windsor 202, a daughter of
Queen Mother, so that she was very closely related on
her Herd Book pedigree to Pride of Aberdeen but had a
stronger infusion of Queen Mother blood.

Duchess of Westertown went to Westertown at the
Tilly four sale i860 as a calf, where she produced six
females and three bulls, the latter being Success 469 and
Baron Settrington 356, both used in the Westertown
herd, and Archbishop 787 used at Hatton.

Of her daughters the only two now represented
appear to be :

(i.) Duchess 1st 930, ist at the H.A.S. Show 1869
and winner of H.A.S. Gold Medals in 1870-1, whose
daughter Duchess 3rd 943 was ist as a two-year-old at
the H.A.S. Show 1872 and passed to Bridgend, where
she produced Matchless Duchess 5205 from which was
bred Black Duchess 13944 now represented at Hill of
Drip.

(2.) Duchess 4th 944, 2nd as a yearling and 4th as a
cow at the H.A.S. Show 1871-3, which passed to Aboyne
and is represented through three daughters bred there,
viz. :

(a) Dandelion 2569, of which a daughter Dandelion
2nd 1 1497, bred at Ballintomb, went to Ballindalloch,
where she bred the bull Darnley of Ballindalloch 11569,
used at Rye Hills and Dracoena 15040, of which a
daughter, Dew of Kirkton 18986, went to Castlecraig,
where she was the dam of the bull Diplomat 13310, 4th
as a yearling and two year old at the H.A.S. Show 1897-8,
and sire of some good stock at Castlecraig, including
the bulls Burnatum and Buttress, referred to in the notes
on the Miss Burgess family. Diplomat was also used at
Selaby.

DUCHESS OF WESTERTOWN. 53

At the Castlecraig dispersion sale in i8gg a daughter
and two granddaughters of Dew of Kirkton were sold at
good prices. The daughter Drochil 22937, a handsome
cow, going to Tedfold at 50 guineas, and thence to
Langshott, but bred only bulls after going south ; a grand-
daughter, Dunella 25431, went to Droagh at 55 guineas,
and is or was lately represented there.

Dracoena passed to Phoineas and is still represented
there.

Another daughter of Dandelion 2nd, Datura of
Ballindalloch 17935, went to Sherfield Manor, and thence
to Kelmarsh, where at the dispersion sale in 1895 two
handsome daughters of this cow were sold at good prices:

(b) DahHa 3279, which passed to Hatton, where
she had a numerous progeny, several of which have been
winners at the R.N. and local Shows, the females
descended from her being named " Daffodil Duchess "
and the bulls " Dianthus."

One of these bulls, Dianthus 5th 18977, was 2nd as a
two-year old at the R.N. Show, 1903, and passed to
Langshott, where he proved a good sire of females, and
was a prizewinner in 1905.

This strain is still represented at Hatton, Claverdon,
and elsewhere :

(c) Daphnie 3282, of which a descendant, Dudah
21 166, bred at Naughton, and her daughter, Demona
29299, passed at the South Ella dispersion Sale in igoi
to Ireland, and are represented at Kilquade and Kilbride.

Many of the females of this family show good type,
quality, and feminine character combined with flesh-
ing and milking qualities, and it is one which on its
foundation and merits would appear to deserve a more
numerous representation than it has at the present time.

54 MATILDA OF YONDERTON.

MATILDA OF YONDERTON.

Matilda of Yonderton 1712, a full sister of Favourite
of Tillyfour and half-sister of Charlotte above mentioned,
was bred at Tillyfour in 1859, ^.nd vv^ent at the sale in
i860 as a yearling to Yonderton, where she bred Young
Matilda of Yonderton 1887, now represented through two
daughters (bred at Yonderton) of Matty 2nd 2236 (a
granddaughter of Young Matilda) viz. :

(i) Kilmeny 3264, of which a daughter Kilmeny 2nd
4780 passed to Haynes Park where she produced Queen of
Haynes 1658, from which some good cattle have been
bred, including the handsome bull Quinton of Haynes
19773, ist as a two-year-old at the R.A.S.E. Show 1903,
and sold at a high price for export, and the bull Knight
of Danesfield 20738, bred at Danesfield, ist as a yearling

was 2nd as a two-year-old at the H.A.S. Show, 1894, and
bred Melon of Advie 24233, which passed to Auchnaguie
and was there dam of the fine bull Ben Vrackie 16290, sold
at the Perth Sale for 120 guineas to go to The Burn,
where he proved a successful sire and was first as a two-
year-old at the H.A.S. Show 1901.

This strain was lately represented at Addington Park.

Another daughter of Matilda of Yonderton was
Juliet i7i4,of which a daughter Princess Dagmar 1699 went
to Duff House and is represented at Glinthro and Morlich.

CHARMER. 55

CHARMER.

Bloomer 201, the second daughter of Queen Mother,
calved in 1849, was a great prizewinner at home, and
stood second to Charlotte at the Paris International in
1856.

From Bloomer was bred The Belle 205, also a ist
H.A.S. prizewinner, and from her Lovely of Tillyfour
1 166, which was ist at the International Show at
Battersea 1862 and at the R.N. Show as a two-year-old,
and 2nd in 1864 and ist in 1865 at the H.A.S. Show as a
cow.

From her daughter Charmer 1172 was bred the bull
Moudiewart 686, the sire of both the grandsire and grand
dam of the well-known stock bull Iliad 2843, a H.A.S.
prizewinner, which went to Ballindalloch in 1883 and
remained there until 1893, when he was destroyed. He
was the sire of the bulls Esquire, Plutarch, Prince Iliad,
Prince Inca, Esmond, Enthusiast, Edric, Eltham,
Gilderoy, Miclas, and other celebrated bulls mentioned in
these notes. Of these at the H.A.S. Show 1892 Prince
Inca was first in the aged Class and champion, Enthusiast
1st in the two-year-old, and Eltham ist in the yearling.
Of Iliad Mr. Hendry says in his article on Famous Sires,
** that he left more famous sires of first-class reputation
between 1885 and 1893 than almost any other Aberdeen-
Angus herd has produced in the course of its whole
history."

From Charmer was also bred at Tillyfour Charmer
2nd 1797, which passed to Guisachan at the Tillyfour

Sale in 1878 Charmer 3rd 3251, a daughter of

Charmer 2nd, at the same sale went at 150 guineas to
Aboyne and afterwards at a high price to Canada.

56 BEAUTY OF MORLICH.

Influence 18616, a descendant of Charmer 2nd bred
at Guisachan, passed to Kinochtry and is represented
there.

Another daughter of The Belle was Fancy of Tilly-
four 1195, 3^^ in 1864 and 2nd in 1865 ^^ the H.A.S.
Show as a cow.

Her granddaughter Sylph 2nd 1787, bred at Tilly-
four, went to Cortachy, of which a daughter Frances of
Airlie 3050 was sold for 100 guineas at the Cortachy Sale
in 1882.

BEAUTY OF MORLICH.

Beauty of Morlich 2072, calved in 1854, was the
daughter of Windsor 202, a great prize winner and dam
of the bulls Windsor 221 a ist H.A.S. prize winner and
used as stock bull at Westertown and afterwards at
Kinnaird and of Rob Roy Macgregor 267 used at Tilly-

Annie 2nd of Morlich 4257, passed to Drumfergue, and
there bred April Flower 6341 and Queen Mother of
Drumfergue 8038 still represented in that herd, now
better known as Coynachie, and also at Ardargie,
Shimpling Hall and elsewhere.

(2) Fancy of Morlich 2076, a daughter of which
Jemima of Morlich 2078 founded the well-known strain
of * Jemimas of Morlich ' which has lately produced so
many celebrated bulls bred in that herd, of which may be
mentioned Jim of Morlich 13531 which went to Kiner-
mony and was 3rd at the H.A.S. and ist and Champion
at the R.N. Shows 1900, and 2nd at the H.A.S. Show

BEAUTY OF MORLICH. 57

igoi. — ^Just Rover of Morlich 15605 which at the Perth
Sale i8gg went as stock bull to Haynes Park where he
was the sire of several prize winning and high priced
bulls and females mentioned in these notes — Just Judge
of Morlich 15604 used at Pitpointie — Juba of Morlich
17986, which went to Mulben and was ist as a yearling
at the H.A.S. Show igoi, and was in 1902 sold for
export to the U.S.A. where he is stated to have had a
remarkable showyard career — and Just Rover of Morlich

able prize winner, being 2nd as a yearling and two-year-
old and 3rd as an aged bull at the H.A.S. Shows 1901-2-3
besides gaining championships at other shows, and is now
in use as stock bull at Rosehaugh. With the exception
of the first mentioned all these bulls were sired by Rover
of Craibstone 12948, a Pride bull of peculiar colour but of
good shapes and thick even flesh which he imparted to
his offspring.

Some good and good-milking females of this strain
have been purchased at high prices at the recent Morlich
sales for the Hursley Park herd which have been prize
winners in England, and it is also represented, besides at
Morlich, at Craibstone Mains, Kinochtry, Langshott and
elsewhere.

Jemima of Morlich is also represented through
another daughter Isabel of Morlich 2084, some of whose
descendants have been prize winners and are to be found
at Finlarig, Pitfour, and elsewhere.

Another daughter of Fancy of Morlich by a very
closely related sire was Nuggett of Morlich 2079, which is
also represented at Morlich, and at Tubberdaly (Ireland).

58 VICTORIA OF KELLY.

VICTORIA OF KELLY.

Yictoria of Kelly 345, the fourth daughter of Queen
Mother, which went to Mains of Kelly in 1856, was bred
there in 1857, and was by the same sire as the cow
Erica.

Her daughter Victoria 3rd 907, the dam of the bull
Victor of Kelly 353, and grand-daughter Victoria 4th
go8 were local prize-winners : the latter is apparently
represented through two daughters, also bred at Mains of
Kelly;

Duchess of Drumin also bred at Drumin, which went to
Burnside, whence the herd appears to have been moved
to Aberlour Mains, where she produced Georgina 2nd of
Aberlour 5979 which passed to Ballindalloch and there
founded the Ballindalloch * Georgina ' branch of this
family.

Georgina 2nd of Aberlour was the dam of

was bred from Georgina 2nd of Aberlour at Ballindalloch
Georgina 4th of Aberlour 9931, which went back to
Aberlour and produced there Grape 155 15 that went to
Cullen House and appears to have representatives at

There are descendants of Princess of Drumin, the
cow mentioned above as having started the Drumin
Queen family, through another daughter, Fairy of Drumin
956, at Drumminor, numerous females having been bred
there, to which the name of * Bridges ' has been given.

There are at Corrie and elsewhere representatives of
a sister of Drumin Queen, which was retained at Burn-

ELENA AND GEORGINA OF ROTHIEMAY 67

side and bred from through Princess of Burnside 3752,

Rothiemay Lady Jean of Glenbarry 531 and from her at
Glenbarry Queen of Rothiemay 325, which went to
Careston Home Farm and produced there Honesty of
Careston 3427.

The herd was removed from Careston to Blair-
shinnock where there was bred from the last named cow

of the family. She is represented through her
daughters :

Elena 20650 which at the Aboyne Sale 1897 went at a
high price to Careston Castle where she bred up to her
13th year and left some good females which are breeding

cow proved a very successful getter of Fat Show Stock at
Langshott and a grandson Lord Elegant 24670 was ist
in the Young Class at Perth 1906 and was afterwards
sold privately at a high price for export to Australia.

(2) Elena 7th 10586 (full sister to Elena 6th) which

same sale in 1896 at 78 guineas to Haynes Park and was
a prizewinner in England being ist at the R.A.S.E. Show
in 1899 as a cow.

The cattle of this family are noted as being thick
short-legged typical specimens of the breed and have given
evidence of good fleshing properties.

From Old Lady Jean there was bred at Rothiemay
in 1852 Georgina of Rothiemay 532 represented through
her daughters bred at Glenbarry :

(i) Georgina 3rd 1321 which produced : —

Moonlight was the dam of the good bulls Sir
Roger 702 and Sir Wilfrid 1157 both H. A. S. prizewinners
— and also of Souter Johnny 1615 bred at Drumin ist
at the R.A.S.E. Show 1883 and a very successful sire in
the Benton herd which appears in the pedigrees of
many of the best cattle bred there — she was also the dam
of Apricot 1490 a local prizewinner which passed to

Birmingham and Smithfield Fat Stock Shows.

(2) Kate of Careston 3434 was another daughter of
Georgina of Rothiemay of which there are descendants
at Kilquade.

It would appear that a large number of cattle were
bred from this foundation at Glenbarry and Blair-
shinnoch but there are apparently very few registered
descendants although from the performances of its
numbers it would appear, like the ' Elena,' to be a strain
of great merit and one which might with advantage to
the breed be better represented.

FYVIE FLOWER.

Fyyie Flower 1616, bred at Fyvie Castle in 1857,
was a local prizewinner and is represented through her

4663 at Coynachie, Woodhead, West Leochel, and else-
where.

JAPONICA.

Japonica 864, bred in 1865 at Leys of Dun, went to
Arratsmill where she bred Jacobina 875, 2nd at the
R.N. Show as a heifer which at the Arrattsmill sale
passed to Portlethen where she bred some bulls which
have been used in the herd and is represented through
her daughters : —

Jonquille 1626 of which a granddaughter Joan 2nd 7913
bred at Portlethen went to Advie and there bred Lady Bird
of Advie 13727 3rd as a cow at the H.A.S. and ist at the

from a daughter of this cow was bred Lady May of Advie
25526 which went to New Southgate and was 2nd at the
R.A.S.E. Show and a great prizewinner in 1900 in
England, passing at the Southgate Sale that autumn to
Danesfield at 100 guineas, and in 1901 was second at the
R.A.S.E. Show and ist at other English Shows. She is
represented in the Wyrley Grove herd.

A half-brother of this cow was the fine bull Lord
Sirdar of Advie 16822 used at Fordie and elsewhere.

Other daughters of Jacobina were Jacobina 2nd 4036 a
descendant of which Jacobina loth 18638 bred at Portlethen,
a local 1st prizewinner, was sold in 1900 for 60 guineas
and is at Blairshinnoch, and Junita 4422 and Jinse 7912
represented at Portlethen and Drumfad (Ireland).

Japonica went to Aldbar and there bred Beauty of
Aldbar 6599 of which a descendant Irony 16096 went to
Craibstone.

At the Craibstone dispersion sale in 1900 a grand-
daughter of this cow Isla 3rd of Craibstone 27368 passed
as a two-year-old heifer at 81 guineas to Doonholm and
there bred Ismene 34051 which went to Balthayock and
has bred there Myrtle of Balthayock 39131 a prizewinner
in 1906 and a bull Biota 25331 2nd prize bull at the Perth

R.A.S.E. Show the same year.

JENNET.

Jenny Lind 27, bred at Collithie from Old Jenny
Lind 34, was ist as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show 1847
and went at a high price to 1 illyfour where she bred in

JENNET. 75

1852 Young Jenny Lind 207, ist as a two-year-old at the
H.A.S. Show 1854.

Her daughter Jenny of Tillyfour 353 went to Mains
of Kelly where she produced the bull Jim Crow 344, ist
at the H.A.S. Show 1863 also a prize-winner at the Angus

Shows and used in the herd also Jennet 905 dam of

the bulls (full brothers) Jim Crow 3rd 350, 2nd as a two-
year-old at the H.A.S. Show 1869, which went to Tillyfour
and was used there, and Jim Crow 4th 352 a prize-winner
at the Angus Shows which was also used at Tillyfour.
These two bulls appear in the pedigree of two of the best
strains of the Pride of Aberdeen family.

From Jennet was bred Jennet 2nd gog of which a
grand-daughter Jennet 6th 3508, also bred at Mains of
Kelly, went to Aboyne where she produced Lady Jane
Grey 10065 which went to Pitcairlie.

At Pitcairlie there was bred from this cow the bulls

of the well-known bull Mailbag 13637) and Cerberus 8181
a considerable prize-winner in England and used as stock
bull in the Benton and Theakston herds with success.

There was also bred from Lady Jane Grey at
Pitcairlie Grisette 13426 and from her by her half-brother
Julius Cgesar, Lady Carbiston 20264 which with a
daughter passed to Preston Bissett where there are
descendants from these cows.

Lady Jane Grey went to Aldbar where she appears
to be still represented.

Some of the progeny of Lady Jane Grey both at
Preston Bissett and Aldbar have been cows of great size.

Another grand-daughter of Jennet 2nd was Jennet
nth 6528 which at the Mains of Kelly sale in 1883

76 JILT.

passed as a two-year-old to Collithie at 127 guineas.
Some off-spring of this cow were sold at the Collithie
Sale in 1894.

JILT— RUTH OF TILLYFOUR— MISS WATSON.

JILT.

The cow Jilt 973, from which this family derives its
name, was bred in 1863 at Tilly four from Beauty of
Tilly four 2nd 1180, a cow bred at Keillor, which passed at
the Keillor dispersion sale in 1861 to Tillyfour. Jilt won
2nd prize as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show 1864 and went
to Ballindalloch in 1867 where she bred three famous
bulls :—

Juryman 404 ist at the H.A.S. Shows 1870 and 1871
and a stock bull at Cortachy.

Judge 1 150 a prizewinner at the H.A.S. Shows in
1876-7 and 1879 ^^^ 1st prize bull at the Paris Inter-
national 1878 and sold for export to Canada where he was
a prizewinner and went to the Heatherton herd U.S.A. in
1884 but died in July of that year.

Justice 1462 a great show bull being ist as a yearling
in 1879, 2nd in 1880, ist in 1881, and ist and champion
in 1884 at the H.A.S. Shows. He was sold in that year
for export at a long price to the U.S.A. to join the
Heatherton herd.

Of Justice it is said in Mr. Hendry's interesting
account of * Famous Aberdeen-Angus Sires ' in the
H.A.S. Transactions * that some good judges considered
him the best bull that had been seen up to that time, that
he had a beautiful clean-cut head with a high-blooded
look about him and had excellent barrel and quarters but

JILT. 77

exhibited some slackness round the waist, that his
attractive carriage and symmetry enabled him as a rule
to hold his own with the best bulls of his day.'

All these three bulls were used at Ballindalloch
where Justice was the sire of the cows Evergreen 9929
and Pride of Invereshie 7659 mentioned in these notes
above.

Jilt is represented through her daughters :

(i) Jewel 1413 3rd at the H.A.S. Show 1877 which
went to Aberlour Mains and there bred Jill 9142 exported
to the U.S.A. and the ancestress of all the * Jilts ' bred
in that country up to 1902.

From Jewel was also bred at Aberlour Mains the
bull Jupiter of Aberlour 2173, 2nd as an aged bull at the
H.A.S. Show 1885.

(2) Jewess 1916 ' a cow of great substance ' from

to Danesfield at 65 guineas, where she was dam of the
bull Danesfield Jester 18949 a prizewinner as a yearling
and two-year-old bull and ist and Champion at the
R.A.S.E. Show 1905 and a successful sire at Danesfield
and also of some prizewinning heifers : — (b) Joviality of
Ballindalloch 22998 which passed to Forneth and is
represented there.

(3) Judy 2996 represented through her daughters : —
(a) Jemima of Ballindalloch 4172 which went to

Bradley Hall whose granddaughter Jungle 15783 at the
Bradley Hall Sale 1895 went back to Ballindalloch at 95
guineas and there bred Junta 23000 the dam of the bull
Jeshurun 19257 which went to Morlich and was 2nd at

78 JILT.

the H.A.S. and ist at the R.N. Shows 1904 and 2nd to
Danesfield Jester at the R.A.S.E. Show 1905.

Jeshurun was sold back to Ballindalloch as a stock
bull and was ist and Champion Male at the H.A.S. Show
1906 and Champion at the same Society's Show in 1907.

Junta passed in 1892 at 95 guineas to Ardargie and
has bred there.

From Jemima of Ballindalloch was also bred at
Bradley Hall Juniper of Bradley 7937 represented through
her daughter Jurinea 18660, 2nd as a yearling at the
H.A.S. Show 1892 and sold at the Bradley Hall Sale
1895 for 140 guineas to Nunthorpe.

(b) Jealousy 4672 which went to Auchindellan and
there bred Jubilee 13104. Jubilee went back to Ballin-
dalloch and bred Jujube of Ballindalloch 17941 which
passed to Hatton (Kinloss) where she bred Julia of
Hatton 32125 represented at Cullen House, Theakston,
and elsewhere.

(c) Jovial 7054 which passed to Benton where she
bred Joviality 14319 of which a daughter Jokelet 17200
went back to Ballindalloch and there bred Jolly Boy of
Ballindalloch 11780 which passed to Hatton and was 2nd
as a yearling at the R.N. Show 1895 and also some
females. Joviality has had a numerous progeny of
which several were sold at the Benton sale 1905 at
good prices going to Eshott, Maisemore, and Woodhill
and is still represented in the Benton herd.

(4) Joanna 13709, from which was bred Joza 19261,
which passed in 1893 as a yearling at 42 guineas to Sher-
field Manor and at that dispersion in 1894 went at 60
guineas to Preston Bissett, where she bred :

(a) Jess 23816, of whose produce there has been sold
Judith of Preston 27941, which in 1900 passed as a

JILT. 79

yearling at 50 guineas to Danesfield and is represented
at Theakston, and Jessamine of Preston 29648, sold in
1903 for export to the U.S.A.

(b) Jet of Preston 25090, which in 1902 went at 58
guineas to Langshott and has bred well there,
and is also represented through a daughter Jet Black of
Preston 29649, which went in 1902 as a two-year-old at
45 guineas to Tubberdaly (Ireland) and has bred in that
herd.

(c) Jill of Preston 29650, which in 1902 went as a
two-year-old heifer at 70 guineas to Danesfield and thence
at the Danesfield Sale 1904 to Langshott, where she
has bred. At the same sale her daughter Jill of Danes-
field 35783 passed to Standen.

From Joanna was also bred at Ballindalloch Janina
25495, which in 1905 went at 50 guineas to Auch-
terarder.

Another daughter of Jilt was Juno of Ballindalloch
3374, which as a cow was 3rd at the H.A.S. Show 1882
but is apparently not now represented.

Several females other than those mentioned above
have been sold at the Ballindalloch Sales, but do not
seem to have produce entered in the recent Volumes of
the Herd Book and there appear to be no female repre-
sentatives of the family at Ballindalloch at the present
time.

From the above notes of this family, which is not
very numerously represented, it will be seen that it has
gained distinction chiefly by the production of good stock
and prize winning bulls, and, as this is not too common
an attribute, it would appear to be a family worthy of
preservation.

8o RUTH OF TILLYFOUR.

RUTH OF TILLYFOUR.

The foundress of this branch was Ruth of Tillyfoup
1169, bred in 1865 at Tillyfour and a full sister of Jilt
above referred to.

Of her daughters may be mentioned :

are often described as * Madges', which went to Porthlethen
and thence to Aboyne and was ist prize cow at the
Kilburn International Show 1879 and dam of the bull
Monarch 1182, a ist prize H.A.S. bull and stock bull at
Powrie, whose name will be found to repeat itself in the
extended pedigrees of cattle bred in that herd, Madge of
Porthlethen with five of her offspring won the Group
Prize at the R.N. Show 1878 and was sold for 100
guineas when ten years old. She is represented through

Aboyne and thence to Melville, where she bred Melville
Madge 5360, represented at Dalmeny, also Royal Ruth
10142, which went with her dam to Dalmore and thence

Lady Ruth 16728, a daughter of this cow, bred at
Dalmore, went to Auchorachan at 72 guineas as a
yearling and is represented there.

(b) Medusa 2577, bred at Aboyne, of which a
descendant Waterside Madge 4th 22527 was sold at the
Blairmore sale 1898, and at the same sale a daughter of
the last named cow Madoqua 25419 went as a yearling to
Langshott where she has bred well, several of her
offspring having been prizewinners at the English shows.

A full sister of this cow Wexe 26850 found her way
to Benton and has bred there.

RUTH OF TILLYFOUR. 8l

(2) Ruth 2nd 1763, also bred at Tillyfour, which at
the Tillyfour sale 1874 went at 70 guineas to Yonderton
and there bred Ethelinda 3356, which passed to Ewell
Court in 1877 and there produced Edith of Ewell 4860,
of which a decendant Rara 14671 bred there passed to
Careston and is represented in that herd and at Spott

and elsewhere also Eleanor of Ewell 5305, whose

granddaughter Rave 14672 went to Benton and bred
there Romp of Benton 29247, which at the sale in 1899
went as a calf at 55 guineas to Ballindalloch and is

Recorder of Benton 4219, 3rd as a yearling at the H.A.S.
Show 1884, which passed to Whittlebury at 100 guineas
and was used successfully in that herd ; also of Ruth of
Benton 9271, represented in the Haynes Park and Shot-
over herds.

In 1874 Ruth of Tillyfour, then nine years old,
passed to Wellhouse and is stated to have been fresh and
full of flesh and again in calf when 17 years old. At
Wellhouse she produced :

(3) Ruth of Wellhouse 2390 : from this cow was
bred the bull Royal George 4992, which went as a
yearling to Ballindalloch and was used there and appears
in many of the Ballindalloch pedigrees. He is stated to
have been a bull of great size, substance, and good form,

but lacking somewhat in good quality also Ruth of

Wellhouse 2nd 4588, whose daughter Ruth of Wellhouse
5th 9553 went to Ballindalloch and bred there Regal
Ruth 16505 and Princely Ruth 19268, the latter of which

guineas. At the same sale Ruritania 35794 (a daughter
of Rubina) a two-year-old heifer of beautiful shapes, but
rather undersized, which had gained amongst other
prizes ist and Champion Medal as best female at the
R.A.S.E. Show and 2nd at the H.A.S. Show that year,
was sold for 96 guineas.

From Ruffles 5167 another daughter of Ruth of

There was also bred from Ruth of Tillyfour at
Wellhouse :

(4) Favourite of Wellhouse 3777 represented through
a daughter Friendship 5164 at Aldbar and Droagh
(Ireland) and through another daughter Favourite Lass
8101 at Coynachie where there have been produced some
prize-winning females of this strain, including Coynachie
Ruth 3rd 33010 2nd as a two-year-old heifer at the

MISS WATSON. 83

MISS WATSON.

Miss Watson 987 calved in 1861 went from Keillor
with her dam Beauty of Tillyfour 2nd and was an elder
and half-sister to Jilt and Ruth of Tillyfour.

At Tillyfour she was dam of the bull Disraeli 401 a
prize-winner in 1869, also of Miss McCombie of Fyvie
1519 which passed to Fyvie.

A descendant of this cow, bred at Fyvie, Bathy 2nd
4065 went to Pitfour, where there was bred from her
Bathy 3rd 6107 which passed to Benton and thence to
Waterside.

Her daughter Waterside Bathy 14495 went to
Laughton, and several of her progeny were included in
the Laughton draft sale in 1898.

Of these Barberry of Laughton 22819, a fine cow
and a good breeder and milker, went to Langshott at 35
guineas and there bred some good show animals, includ-
ing Barbarina 2nd 31391, 2nd as a cow at the R.A.S.E.
and a prize-winner at other shows in 1906, and dam of
the 1st prize yearling steer at Smithfield that year, also
Barbarina 3rd 33237, a full sister, which was reserve for
Breed Champion at the Smithfield Show 1904, and
Barbarina 4th 38588, a Smithfield prize-winner in 1907.

another Battle 22820 at the Laughton Sale went to

Glamis at 47 guineas, carrying a calf. This was
Brunhilde 29276, which, as a yearling, was 2nd at the
H.A.S. and R.A.S.E. Shows in 1900, and in 1901 added to
the Hst of Glamis successes at Smithfield by gaining the
Championship.

Battle was not retained at Glamis, and this "Bathy"
branch of the family has also become extinct at Langshott
as the result of its propensity on occasions to produce

84 JIPSEY.

more white than the ** Standard of Excellence " and
present fashion allow.

There was some years ago a daughter of Bathy 3rd
at Tedfold, Bathy of Wester Fowlis 19887, from which
prize-winners at Fat Stock Shows were bred. Miss
McCombie is also represented through " the Lady Clares,"
bred at Hattonslap, at Eastertown.

Another daughter of Miss Watson which went to
Easter Skene was Isabella of Easter Skene 2585, of which
a descendant Ludovica 13969 passed to Morlich, and was
there dam of a good bull Loyalist of Morlich 14619, which
is being used successfully at Banks. She is represented
through a daughter Laurel of Morlich 17658 there and at

Rhynie. another daughter Lucky Lady of Morlich

26625, a prize-winner in Scotland as a two-year-old,
passed to Tedfold and thence at that dispersion sale in

prize-winner at Fat Stock Shows as a yearling in 1905
which passed to Greatham Manor and was champion at
the Chichester Christmas Show 1906.

JIPSEY.

The name given to this family comes from Jipsey
1767 a daughter of Old Jip 965 bred at Spott.

It will be noticed that the name is peculiar, as, while
it sounds like the well known title of a nomadic race, it
is not so spelt. This, however, has not affected the
career of the family, which has been a brilliant one.

Jipsey at the present time appears to be represented
through four daughters, all bred at Spott :

JIPSEY. 85

(i) Jenny of Spott 3546, of which there are descen-
dants at Spott, Careston, Theakston, Glenfield, and
probably elsewhere.

(2) Jipsey Maid 3973, whose granddaughter Jipsey
8th 15796 went to Laughton and from her daughter

Laughton 14942, which at the Laughton sale 1898
passed to Inverquharity, and was 4th at the H.A.S. Show

bull at Careston and for a season at Ballindalloch.

Jipsey 3rd was also the dam of Jipsey 6th 14484, of
which there are descendants at Auchorachan, Theakston,
and elsewhere.

Other bulls and heifers of this family have been sold
from Spott at good prices.

LADY FANNY.

Lady Fanny 971 was calved at Ballindalloch in 1861
and appears to have bred there up to her i6th year. Her
dam was Young Mary 527 bred in 1852 at Carron from
Grannie 131 and was used as a dairy cow at Ballin-
dalloch, her milking qualities being inherited by many of
her descendants.

Of Lady Fanny's daughters may be mentioned : —
(i) Fair Lady 2159 of which a descendant Fluster
19982, bred at Bradley Hall, went to Rosehaugh where
she was dam of a good bull Count Fluster 16409 which
did excellent service in the Skegby herd. She is still repre-
sented at Rosehaugh — another descendant Fairplay
4265 is represented at Theakston. Fair Lady passed to
Cortachy and bred there Frailty 4932 which at the sale
in 1882 passed as a two-year-old at 310 guineas to

was 1st and champion bull at the H.A.S. Show 1890.

(2) Miss Fanny 31 11 a granddaughter of which
Freedom of Ballindalloch 12435 went to Glamis and was
represented there at the time of the sale in 1904.

(3) Lady Florence 2905 which was a somewhat
prolific breeder at Ballindalloch and on three occasions
produced twins. From one of such twins Lady Fair
5613 was bred the bull Lord Chamberlain 4823 used as a
stock bull at Claymires, Waterside, and Morlich.

Another daughter of this cow Lady Frivolous 12439
went to South Ella where she bred well — her descen-
dants were sold privately some of them going to Ireland.

Another of her daughters Lady Flush 12438 was
retained at Ballindalloch and bred there the bull
Financier of Ballindalloch 8328, which was sold at Perth
in 1896 for 150 guineas to go to the Stonehurst herd in
Sussex and was ist as a yearling, 2nd as a tv/o-year-old,
and 3rd as an aged bull at the H.A.S. Shows in 1891-2-3
and also a prizewinner at the English shows and was sire
of some good stock in the Stonehurst herd which was
dispersed in 1894.

Lady Frisky 17943, a daughter of Lady Flush and a
handsome cow, was dam of the bull Lord Fretful 18090

88 LADY IDA, ETC.

(sire of the bull Evolsurus 21908, sold as mentioned
above at a high price for use in the Hursley Park
herd, where he has proved a successful sire) and
appears in the recent catalogue of the Ballindalloch herd
in her i6th year and also a daughter Lady Fusser 39031.
Lord Fretful was sold for export to the U.S.A. and
resold there at a high price, it is said 1,000 guineas.

Lady Frisky was also the dam of Lady Fitful 24208
which passed to the Droagh herd (Ireland) where she
appears to have bred well, amongst her progeny being :
Lady Felecia 29779 which passed to Dunmore Park
(Ireland) and was there dam of a bull Felecia's Best
25637 ist in the two-year-old class at the Dublin Show

25897 ist in the young yearling bull class at the Dublin
Show 1906.

LADY IDA, MAYFLOWER OF MONTBLETTON,
BRIDE, &c.

These families are descended from Lady Craigo 99,
which went to Montbletton at the Craigo Sale 1856,
carrying a calf by the bull Craigo 260 that was named
Mayflower of Montbletton 614 and was 2nd at the H.A.S.
Show 1861.

From this cow was bred Mayflower 2nd 1020, a local
prizewinner, which lived to the age of 16 and bred 14
calves.

LADY IDA. 8g

LADY IDA.

Of these the most famous was Lady Ida 1021, 3rd at
the H.A.S. Show 1873 and a prizewinner at local shows,
described in the Montbletton sale catalogue as a * Cup
Cow herself and by the achievements of her descendants
entitled to a place by the side of the original Erica — in
fact of the first Pride of Aberdeen.' She lived until her
igth year and bred 15 calves stated to have nearly all
been prizewinners and is now represented through the
following daughters :

(i) Duchess Marie 3410, which went in 1876 to
Ewell Court and was a prizewinner at the Kilburn
International Show 1879. She bred 10 calves at Ewell,
all bulls except Gravity 4864. Gravity passed to Benton,
where she bred up to her 14th year.

Of her descendants a granddaughter Golden Black-
bird 14317 went to South Ella and at that dispersion
sale in igoi her produce were sold at good prices, going
to Careston, Eshott, Kilquade, and Doonholm.

At the Eshott Sale 1906 one of these, a fine cow
Ideal 26739 (dam at Eshott of the prizewinning bull
Idelamere 22036, which was Champion Male at the
H.A.S. and the R.A.S.E. Shows 1907) passed to The
Burn and a cow of the same strain Eliza of Willerby
28600 to Balthayock and their produce to Benton, Lang-
shott, and Argentina.

Another granddaughter of Gravity, Gratitude of
Benton 18542, went to Kelmarsh and there bred Grati-
tude of Kelmarsh 22130, which passed to Theakston,
where she bred well and is still represented.

(2) Blackbird of Corskie 1704, a prizewinner at the
R.N. and other Shows, which went to Duff House and
there bred :

go LADY IDA.

(a) Blackbird of Corskie 2nd 3024, which went to
Gavenwood and was ist as a cow at the H.A.S. Show
1879. This cow was sold for export to Canada at, it is
stated, a price of 200 guineas, of which a daughter
Blackbird Lassie found its way to the Heatherton herd,
U.S.A.

At the Gavenwood Sale 1867 her calf Benefit 2nd
5016 passed to Haynes Park, where she bred several
females (Benefits of Haynes) now represented at Careston,
Maisemore, and Lucan (Ireland).

From one of this strain was bred at Careston the
bull Blizzard 24175, ist at the Perth Show and Sale 1906
and sold for 200 guineas to Aberlour, and ist at the
R.A.S.E. and 2nd at the H.A.S. Shows the same year, and
1st at the R.A.S.E. and 3rd at the H.A.S. Shows in 1907,
also Bengalese 26570, which was 2nd in the young class
at the Perth Show and Sale 1908, and passed to Hatton
at 100 guineas.

(b) Blackbird of Corskie 3rd 3766, which went in
1878 at 71 guineas to Ballindalloch, where she bred
Blackcap 4042, which went from Waterside to Missouri,

U.S.A. She was also dam of the bulls Bushman 201 1

and Bushranger 2012, which went to America, and of
Black Jewel 11202, which produced the bull Bullion
9839, which went at 130 guineas to Rosehaugh.

At Ballindalloch there are several cows descended
from her. From one of these was bred the young bull
with the inconveniently long name of * Black For Ever of
Ballindalloch ' 25338 ist at the Perth Show and Sale
1907 and sold there for 135 guineas to go to Hursley
Park and 2nd that year at the R.A.S.E. Show. This
strain is represented at Achindunie.

(c) Blackbird of Corskie 4th 3769 which passed to

LADY IDA. 91

Glamis and thence to Melville where she bred Melville
Bracelet 8242 which went back to Glamis and there pro-
duced Milkmaid of Glamis 17264, dam of the celebrated
heifer Minx of Glamis 22408 ist as a yearling at the
H.A.S. Show 1895 and Champion at the Birmingham
and Smithfield Shows in 1896, and of Minnehaha of
Glamis 23573 (full sister to Minx) dam of the bull
Mondamin 18240 which at the Perth Sale 1901 went at
150 guineas to Doonholm and was used as stock bull
there. Milkmaid of Glamis was also dam of the bull
Mistral 16926 sold at Perth 1900 for 140 guineas for
export to N.Z.

Blackbird of Corskie 4th was also exported to the
U.S.A. to join the Heatherton herd and is numerously
represented through a granddaughter ' Blackbird 8th '
bred there stated to have been a wonderfully prolific cow
and, what was most unusual, a heifer breeder.

This branch of the Lady Ida family is deservedly
very popular in the U.S.A., where there appears to exist,
or to have lately existed, the erroneous notion that the
Lady Ida family begins and ends with this branch, so far
as merit is concerned.

(3) Yiolet of Montbletton 1399 (full sister to Black-
bird of Corskie and also a prizewinner) went in 1878 at
80 guineas to Glamis when she bred :

(a) Viola of Glamis 4267 which passed to Whittle-
bury. At that sale her daughter Violetta of Whittlebury
12593 went to Preston Bissett and is represented through
her daughters :

Valentine of Preston 16024 ^o"^ which has been
bred some good stock including Venetia of Preston 31385
sold at 70 guineas at the draft sale in 1905 to go to
Carnmeen (Ireland) and Verona of Preston 35125 ist as a

92 LADY IDA.

yearling at the Bath and West Show 1904 and 2nd at the
R.A.S.E. Show 1905, also Veritas of Preston 40096 ist
and Champion at the Bath and West and ist at the
R.A.S.E. Shows 1907 as a yearling, also Violet of Preston
17572 which at the sale in 1896 went to Careston and
bred there Violet of Careston 25022 a fine cow still with
offspring in that herd and represented also at Cullen
House, one of whose granddaughters Verity of Preston
29660 was sold in 1902 for export to the U.S.A., and
another Vitula of Preston 35126 at the Sale in 1906
passed as a two-year-old to Langshott at 43 guineas.

Viola of Glamis went from Whittlebury to Haynes
Park and produced there Viola of Haynes 15 144 and
Violet of Haynes 16586 which went to Ireland and are
represented at Dunmore Park and Shanvagley, also
Violet 2nd of Haynes 20626 which passed to Standen,
where she appears to have a numerous progeny to which
have been given the names of various field and garden
flowers irrespective of the initial letter of the family
or branch to which they belong.

(b) Veronica of Glamis 9355 of which a granddaughter
VisibleofGlamis2ii48 went toGadgirth and is represented
at Aberlour and another granddaughter Venelia 26197,
3rd at the H.A.S. and 2nd at the R.N. Shows 1898 as a
yearling, was one of the few cows retained at Glamis at
the time of the sale there in 1904 and was dam of Ver-
bascum of Glamis 32797 which passed at the Perth Sale
1903 to Hursley Park at 90 guineas and has bred there
Verbascum of Hursley 37046 a prizewinner as a yearling
in England in 1905.

(c) Veronica 2nd of Glamis 10662 which went to
Dalmore and was dam of the bull Vesuvius 7257 which at
the Spring Sale 1889 went to Ballindalloch at 130 guineas

LADY IDA. 93

and was sire of the well-known bull Kidnapper mentioned
above and other good animals.

(4) Jane of Corskie 3011 which passed at the Mont-
bletton Sale 1882 to Waterside at 190 guineas whose
daughter Lady Wilfrid 3818 had previously gone to the
same herd. At Waterside from the latter was bred
Waterside Lady Wilfrid 7998 which passed to Dalmore
and was there dam of the bull Lord Wilfrid 7689 which
went to Caerhays Castle at 120 guineas in 1890. At the
Dalmore sale 1891 daughters of this cow were sold at
good prices Lady Wilfrid 3rd 13912 going to Pitpointie
where some of her descendants were sold in 1898 and
Lady Wilfrid 5th 181 61 to Moor Park produce of which
were sold at that sale in 1898, but this strain is apparently
not represented in the Herd Book at the present time.

Jane of Corskie is represented through another
daughter Minette 4705 at Wardend.

(5) Corriemulzie 2nd 3515, 2nd as a two-year-old at
the H.A.S. Show 1879 ^^^ the winner of many prizes and
challenge cups at local shows, which went to Gavenwood
and there bred Coronet 4548 which passed to Blair-
shinnoch.

Coronet is represented through her daughters Coruna
of Blairshinnoch 19858 at Burnshangie and Brucklay
Castle and Coronal 21110 (Coronet being at the date of
Coronal's birth in her 14th year) of which a daughter
Coronal 2nd 29254 passed to Dalmeny and there bred Ida
of Dalmeny 3rd 38038 breed champion and reserve for
champion beast at the Smithfield Show 1906. Corrie-
mulzie 2nd was sold in 1882 for ;f200 for export to Canada
where she gained prizes.

(6) Maydew of Montbletton 5396 which went as a calf
with her dam Lady Ida, then in her 17th year, at the Mont-

94 LADY IDA

bletton dispersion in 1882 (the price for the cow and calf
being 235 guineas) to Dalmore.

From Maydew of Montbletton was bred at Dalmore
the bull Lord Ivory 6179 ist at the R.N. and 2nd at the
H.A.S. Shows 1888 as a yearhng and 3rd at the R.A.S.E.
(Windsor) Show 1889 and used as Stock bull at Blairmore

also Lady Ida 6th 15276 which at the Dalmore sale

in 1891 went toDalmeny at 80 guineas and Lady Ida

7th 16725 which at the sale in 1893 passed to Rose-
haugh at 60 guineas and bred there Lady Ida of Rose-
haugh 21706 which went back to Dalmore and is

represented there also Ida Duchess 28344 which went

to Danesfield in 1901 at 70 guineas and thence to
Broughton and since to Lisnabreeny (Ireland) and other
produce now at Rosehaugh.

Maydew of Montbletton passed at the Dalmore Sale
1893 at 75 guineas to Naughton.

At the Naughton dispersion in 1896 Maydew of
Montbletton, then in her 15th year, was sold for 45
guineas and her calf Make Haste 2401 1 for 51 guineas
back to Dalmore where from the former was bred Ideal
Ida 25727 through which she is represented there.

At the Montbletton dispersion 1882 several members
of the Mayflower family were sold at high prices which
are apparently not now represented, viz. : Lady Palmerston
1598 (9 years old) for 86 guineas, her daughters Lady
Palmerston 2nd 3819 for 90 guineas and Lady Prudence

4700 for 185 guineas Lady Ida 2nd 3413, a daughter

of Lady Ida, and a local prizewinner for 315 guineas and
her daughter Lyra 4699 also a prizewinner for 295 guineas
and Ivy 5395 for 150 guineas.

It is said in the Preface to the Catalogue of the
Montbletton dispersion sale in 1882 *' If as in the case of

MAYFLOWER OF MONTBLETTON. 95

the magnificent cow Jane of Corskie some white occurs
the Lady Ida race .... are entirely free from
scurs, admirable in constitution, richly fleshed, and
singularly perfect as breeders."

At that time and in fact until the American craze
' for black and all black,' which was the result of an error
as white about the udder was not only a prevalent mark-
ing of the breed but one which was and is still preferred
to * all black ' by many, not so much attention was paid
to the question and it is satisfactory to know that this
hobby is not now ridden so hard in the U.S.A. as it
formerly was.

In this and other fashionable families white comes to
the surface from time to time and looking to the breeding
of many of the stock bulls, now in use, there would appear
to be reason to anticipate that it is likely to continue to
do so in the future.

MAYFLOWER OF MONTBLETTON.

Of the fourteen calves of Mayflower 2nd mentioned
above the only daughter, other than Lady Ida, now
represented appears to be Mayflower of Montbletton 3rd
341 1, which went in 1876 to Ewell Court and was 2nd as
a cow at the Kilburn International Show 1879.

She bred eleven calves at Ewell Court and lived to
the age of 14. Amongst her descendants, transferred
with the members of the herd then left at Ewell Court
to Langshott in 1893, was a daughter Mary Anderson
25 1 21, which bred thirteen calves and was destroyed in
her eighteenth year, and a grand-daughter Violet Mary
14673, from which was bred at Langshott Daisy Caroline

96 BRIDE, ETC.

22690 now in her fourteenth year, which has produced
eleven calves and is still represented in that herd.

This strain appears to be also represented through
Lorna Doone of Ewell 6549, which went to Thomastown,
there and at Balhalgardy.

BRIDE, &c.

From Lady Craigo was also bred at Montbletton in
1858 Fancy of Montbletton 615, which went to Hillock-
head and there bred Sabrina 1752, represented by
descendants at Bunlick and Kilmeade (Ireland).

From Lady Craigo was also bred Young Craigo (not
entered in the Herd Book) and from her in 1857 Craigo
2nd of Strichen 5544, which went to Strichen and bred
there Polly of Strichen 5265.

Polly of Strichen passed to Banks and there bred
Craigo Gem 5258, a great-granddaughter of which
Bride 13343 went to Benton and was there dam of
Bridesmaid of Benton 18540, which was ist as a yearling
at the Yorkshire and other shows in 1892 and Champion
at the Norwich Fat Stock Show and ist in her class and
the winner of Challenge Cups at the Birmingham Show

in 1893. also of Benton Bride 19843 Champion at

the Birmingham and Smithfield Shows 1894. also of

the prize-winning bull Best Man of Benton 13173, sold
at the Benton Sale in 1899 for 150 guineas for export to
Tasmania.

Bride was destroyed on her nineteenth birthday,
having produced seventeen calves. She is represented in
the Benton herd and elsewhere.

Craigo Gem is represented at Banks through her
daughters Craigo Banks 5259, Craigo Jewel 6484 and
Craigo Polly 6485.

LIZZIE OF PORTLETHEN 97

From Craigo 2nd of Strichen was also bred Lucy of
Strichen 5545, of which there are descendants at Ruth-
owen (Ireland) and Blackhouse.

Young Craigo also passed to Strichen, where she
bred Flora of Strichen nog, of which there are repre-
sentatives in that herd.

It will be seen that many of the females of this
family mentioned in the above notes have been long-lived
and prolific breeders, a characteristic which is no doubt
hereditary.

LIZZIE OF PORTLETHEN.

Lively 256, calved in 1849 at Ardestie, went to Port-
lethen where she produced Lizzie of Portlethen 250 whose
daughter Lemon 854 is represented through :

(i) Lavender 886 from which was bred Lovelock
1627 of which there are descendants in the Cortachy
herd.

(2) Lemon 2nd 2264, which went to Benton and
there produced Luxury 7783 champion at the Birmingham
and Smithfield Fat Stock Shows in 1885 — also Luxury
3rd 14323 represented in the Theakston herd.

Some good bulls were bred from this strain at
Benton including Lightheart 11834 ist as a yearling at
the R.A.S.E. and other Shows in 1895.

LUCY OF PORTLETHEN OR DRUMIN LUCY.

The cow Lucy of Portlethen 287, calved 1856, which
gives the name to this family was the great granddaughter
of Brown Mouth 665, calved at Portlethen in 1839, and
was half-sister to Raglan of Portlethen 208, a bull of

gS LUCY OF PORTLETHEN

showyard fame at home and also a prizewinner at Paris
in 1856, and used at Portlethen as a stock bull.

Lucy of Portlethen went to Mains of Kelly, where
she produced Young Lucy 947, which went to Drumin
and is represented through her daughters, all bred at
Drumin between 1862 and 1873 : —

(i) Daisy of Drumin 952 of which a great grand-
daughter appears to have gone to Leadhill, but to have
very few representatives.

(2) Lucy 2nd 1186 from which there were bred some
* Lucys of Stripeside ' represented at Inverquharity.

(3) Drumin Countess 958 of which two good descen-
dants * Roseleafs of Tochineal ' were sold at that sale in
1898, the daughter of one of which Roseleaf of Addington
Park 29405 appears in a recent catalogue of the Doonholm
herd.

(4) Susan of Drumin 1683 more numerously repre-
sented than any of her sisters through her daughters :

(a) Sweetheart 1689 3rd as a two-year-old heifer at
the H.A.S. Show 1874.

This cow produced at Drumin, Sweetheart 3rd 3332,
a few descendants from which are to be found at
Coynachie and elsewhere. — She passed to Glamis, where
her progeny appears to have been fairly numerous, but, so
far as can be ascertained, is only now represented through
Sweetheart ist of Glamis 4806 and Sugarplum of Glamis
7858.

Some handsome descendants from Sweetheart ist of
Glamis were sold at good prices at the Castlecrag disper-
sion sale in 1899 of which Sherbet 26857 sold at 60
guineas as a yearling to Droagh (Ireland), Shadow 28406
at 53 guineas as a calf to Ardross, and Solvent 28407 also
as a calf to Harviestoun have bred in those herds.

MAGGIE OF ALDBAR. 99

Sugarplum of Glamis is also represented in Ireland.

(6) Mavis 221 1 which went to Auchorachan and
there produced Lady Lucy 3552 whose descendants
form the well-known * Linnets of Auchorachan ' of which
the most famous member was the handsome ist prize
H.A.S. cow Legend 16518; they have made good prices
at the Auchorachan sales and are represented there and
at Ruthven, Hayston, Swaylands, Hillsborough, and else-
where.

(c) Bloom of Drumin 2215 which went to Coynachie
and is the ancestress of what may be called the
* Coynachie Blooms ' of which specimens are still to be
found there.

(5) Honesty 1690 which went to Aberlour Mains and
produced a deep milking strain. Of these at the Aberlour
sale in 1888 Heath 10405 a fine cow passed at 100 guineas
to Preston Bissett but is not now represented there.

This is one of the families which was more
numerously represented formerly than at present, it is
understood to be in favour in the U.S.A.

MAGGIE OF ALDBAR.

Maggie of Aldbar 6602 was bred at Aldbar in 1877,
her dam being Rose ' of Aldbar, stated to be descended
from a heifer which went to Aldbar in 1828.

From one of her daughters Missie of Aldbar 6605
was bred Annuity 10975 and from her Annuity 2nd 14720,

was descended from a strain long bred there and passed
to Cortachy where she produced Maisie 3650, which is

from one of which there was bred at Inverquharity the
bull Donford 21744 2nd as a yearling and 4th as a two-
year-old at the H.A.S. Shows 1904-5.

A considerable number of animals of this family have
been sold at various times for export to the U.S.A. and
other parts of the world, and, as mentioned in the
Appendix, it appears to have been formerly more
numerously represented than it is at the present time.

ROSE OF ADVIE.

Rose of Advie 3105 was a daughter of Old Rose of
Advie 3104, which was bred at Ballindalloch in 1859 ^^^
went to Advie in 1862.

ROSE OF ADVIE. II9

From Rose of Advie was bred, as the result of
mating with the celebrated Ballindalloch sire Trojan 402,
Dandy of Advie 3106, which is said to have been a hand-
some cow and to have bred some good stock, many of
them prizewinners.

One of her daughters Emily of Advie 3110, a noted
prizewinner at local shows, went to Minmore, where she
bred Elfie of Minmore 10532, which was sold at the
Minmore Sale i8gi for 70 guineas. At the Southgate
sale i8gg this cow, then 14 years old, passed to Benton and
bred there Elfie of Benton 2nd 32751, which went to
Woodhill. At Minmore Emily of Advie also bred Elegy
of Minmore 15624, sold at the sale in i8gi as a two-year^
old for g5 guineas, which passed to Naughton and there
bred the curiously named Erica Evergreen 22845, which
stood 4th as a yearling at the H.A. S. Show i8g6 and at
the Naughton dispersion sale that year passed to
Callands at 64 guineas and thence to Maisemore.

Rose of Advie appears to be also represented through
Dandy of Advie 3106 at Shoestanes and Goscote and
through Norah of Advie 3107 at Darnford and Sopwell.
From a descendant of this cow was bred the bull Romeo
of Advie g588, 2nd at the Perth Show and sale in i8go
and used at Stonehurst and Tedfold.

From Blanche of Advie 3588, a granddaughter of
Dandy of Advie, which went to Glamis, was bred
Bridesmaid of Glamis 13135, that was 2nd as a two-year-
old at the H.A.S. Show i88g and passed to Minmore,
where at the sale in i8gi she made 170 guineas.

Another daughter was Daisy of Advie 3586, which
bred Spey Queen 4748, that went to Auchorachan
and is represented through a daughter Dolly of Auchora-
chan 4752 at Congash, Goodwood, and Ballyfin House

120 ROSE OF DRUMIN.

(Ireland), and through another daughter Roantree
9946, also bred at Auchorachan, at Achindunie.

Another was Florence of Advie 3587 represented
through her daughters Miss Florence 4444 and Floss of
Advie 7074 at Laggan, Braevail, Mains of Carr, Nether
Blairock, and Lismullen (Ireland).

Another was Judy of Advie 4440 represented at
Leith Hall, Coleburn, and Wickham Court.

Old Rose of Advie has also representatives through
another daughter Duchess of Advie 3585 at Fordie and
Langshott and no doubt elsewhere.

Members of the family were prizewinners when
shown from Advie at the local shows.

ROSE OF DRUMIN.

The family takes its name from Rose of Drumin 955,

a daughter of Arabella 953 by Defiance 397 (a Queen
Mother bull) Arabella being also by Defiance from the
cow Fortune 945.

Rose of Drumin produced at Drumin in 1869
Heather Bell 962, a ist H.A.S. winner as a yearling,
which appears to be now represented through her
daughters :

(i) Patience of Corskie 1932, which went to Gaven-
wood and there bred Patroness 4561, a cow which when
13 years old produced Pancake 21232 at Bradley Hall,
at that sale sold as a yearling for 200 guineas, some
good offspring of which were sold at the Castlecraig
dispersion sale in 1899, going to Glamis, Preston Bissett,

and Westmains. Patroness also went to Preston

Bissett, where she bred, when 16 years old, Patchwork

ROSE OF WESTERTOWN. 121

23819, Still represented in the herd, whose produce have
been sold at good prices at the draft sales, going to
Glamis, Doonholm, and elsewhere.

Pavilion 3772, a daughter of Patience of Corskie,
bred at Gavenwood, was a ist prize-winner as a two-year-
old at the H.A.S. Show in 1880, and was considered a
very perfect specimen of the breed.

This strain of the family is known as * Patience of
Corskie,' and its representatives are noted for good shapes
and fleshing properties.

(2) Heather Bell 2nd 2212, whose daughter Heather
Bell 3rd 3340, also bred at Drumin, went to Guisachan
in 1878, and there bred the celebrated stock bull
Mosstrooper 2256, sire of the well-known bull Cash 4558
(mentioned above) and of other good and prize-winning
bulls bred at Guisachan. A daughter of this cow,
Bellflower of Guisachan 9395, went to Pitpointie, where
her progeny showed great milking qualities, and are still
represented there and also in the Doonholm herd by
Fisher Girl 29438, the dam there of a bull Rubus 25100,
which went in 1906 as a yearling to Langshott, and was
a prize-winner at the English Shows in 1906-7, and also
at Golspie and Bleaton.

ROSE OF WESTERTOWN.

This family takes its name from Rose of Westertown
388, bred at Westertown in 1857, the granddaughter of
BHnkbonny 315 calved in 1853.

Her daughter Rose 3rd 925 was the dam of the bulls
Duke of Perth 357, 3rd in 1873 and ist in 1875 at the
H.A.S. Show and used at Westertown, and Captain of

122 ROSE OF WESTERTOWN,

Bonheur 940, 2nd as a yearling in 1870 and 3rd as a two-
year-old in 1871 at the H.A.S. Show and ist at the R.N.
Show, and is represented through her daughters:
(i) Rosedale 934 from which was bred:

(a) Rosemary 936 and from her Rosa of Westertown
1908: a daughter of this cow Rosette of Biallid 5765 went
to Ruthven and is represented through animals bred there
at Stenhouse, Forneth, Cromdale, and Buckton.

Rose of Ruthven 12442 a daughter of Rosette of
Biallid went to Ballindalloch and there bred Milton Rose
16502, of which a daughter Meadow Rose 20569 was dam
of the bull Rosador 15996 which at the Perth Sale 1899
went at 190 guineas to Ardross, and was ist as a two-
year-old and Reserve for Champion in 1900 and 4th in
1901 at the H.A.S. Shows and used as stock bull.

This strain is represented at Ballindalloch by Mellow
Rose 35608 a granddaughter of this cow.

Another daughter of Rosa of Westertown was Rose
of Dalmore 2nd 10141 represented at Westertown and
Rhynie.

(b) Susanne 942 3rd as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show
1871 represented through Rose of Biallid 3842 at Cullen
House and Forneth.

(c) Rosery 3721 which went to Culdees and is still
represented in that herd.

(2) Rose of Altyre 2106 bred at Westertown, a
descendant from which Blooming Rose 21278 bred at
Pitpointie was ist as a two-year-old in 1895 at the
H.A.S. Show and ist as a cow in 1898 at the H.A.S. and
R.N. Shows and passed that year at 80 guineas to
Kinochtry where she bred Opening Rose 28303 which
was also a prizewinner at the H.A.S. Shows and went at

RUBY OF EASTER TULLOCH. 123

58 guineas in 1903 to Maisemore and has been a prize-
winner in England.

Rose 3rd passed at the Westertown dispersion sale
in 1874 to Ballindalloch where she produced :

(3) Roseleaf 2993 from which was bred Rosebloom
5617 now represented at Kilmeade (Ireland).

Of this strain were also bred at Ballindalloch Rose
of the Valley 5618, Rose of the Village 12441, and others
of similar nomenclature ; of these Rose of the Vicarage
16508 was 3rd as a two-year-old at the H.A.S. Show
1892, but this branch is not now represented in the herd,
although it was highly thought of there, nor do there
appear to be any female descendants in the Herd Book
from its representatives, bred there, except at Careston
and Kilmeade.

RUBY OF EASTER TULLOCH, FANNY OF
KINNAIRD, AND LAVENDER OF KINNAIRD.

RUBY OF EASTER TULLOCH.

This family, in common with the other branches
referred to, goes back for its foundation to the cow
Old Lady Ann 743 which is believed to have been calved
about 1820 and to be ** the oldest cow recorded in the
Herd Book," and formed a member of the Kinnaird herd.

Her descendant Reubena 1033 bred at Kinnaird
Castle went to Easter Tulloch, of which a grand-
daughter was Ruby of Easter Tulloch 1723 (calved 1870)
which gives the name to this family or branch.

This cow appears to be now represented through the
following daughters bred at Easter Tulloch :

124 RUBY OF EASTER TULLOCH.

(i) Ruby 2nd of Easter Tulloch 3520 which went to
Powrie, where there was bred from her a numerous
progeny known as the ** Powrie Rubys," several of which
gained honours and prizes at the H.A.S. Shows.

The Powrie strain is chiefly represented at the present
time by descendants of a daughter of this cow, Ruby 3rd
of Powrie 4474, which are to be found in many herds,
including Careston, Maisemore, Theakston, and others.

It produced the numerous " Rover " bulls bred at
Powrie, of which may be mentioned the fine bulls Rover
of Powrie 4991, 2nd as an aged bull at the H.A.S. Show
in 1888 and 1891 and 3rd in 1890 and a celebrated stock
bull at Powrie and also used at Spott and Cortachy, and
Rover 6th of Powrie 7161, ist at the Perth Show and
Sale and sold for 105 guineas, distinguished as a sire at
Auchorachan of good females, including the ist prize
H.A.S. cow Legend 165 18 and other prizewinners.

Ruby 6th of Powrie 7752, another daughter of Ruby
2nd of Easter Tulloch, appears to be still represented in
the Herd Book through * Rubys ' bred at Kippendavie
and Kinochtry and also at West Ballochy.

(2) Ruby 4th 4096 of which a descendant Ruby 34th
12959 also bred at Easter Tulloch went to Coynachie and
has several descendants in that herd.

(3) Rene 4607 of which there is a descendant at
Lisnabreeny (Ireland.)

(4) Ruby 5th 4948 having descendants at Balgavies
through Ruby 23rd 10467 which went there from Powrie.

(5) Ruby 8th 6012 of which a granddaughter Ruby
22nd 10466 went to Blairmore and appears to be repre-
sented in the Maisemore and Luddick herds and a
daughter Ruby 37th 14213 went to Inchgower and was
represented at Laughton.

FANNY OF KINNAIRD. 125

FANNY OF KINNAIRD.

This family or strain also traces back to Old Lady
Ann 743 and is named from her great granddaughter
Fanny of Kinnaird 330 (calved 1848.)

Formosa 186 a granddaughter of this cow bred at
Kinnaird went to Easter Tulloch and there bred :

(i) Florida 1030 of which a descendant went to
Leuchland and now appears to be represented at
Balthayock.

(2) Flora of Easter Tulloch 384 ot which a descen-
dant went to Whittlebury and is represented at Haynes
Park and at Curraghmore and elsewhere in Ireland.

Flora of Portlethen 244 (calved 1853) a daughter of
Fanny of Kinnard went as a two-year-old to Portlethen
and was a prizewinner as a cow.

She had many descendants bred in that herd and the
family has recently been chiefly known through those
from her daughter Beauty of Portlethen 270 whose grand-
daughter Barmaid of Portlethen 2207 went to Spott,where
there have ever since been representatives easily identified
by their nomenclature, which have included some bulls
that have made good prices at the Perth sales ; she is
also represented in other herds.

Bar Belle 4399 a daughter of Barmaid of Portlethen
bred at Spott went to Glamis where she bred Buttercup
2nd of Glamis 10653 ^st as a yearling at the H.A.S.
Show 1886 and of the same cow a descendant Bonnet of
Glamis 29275 was ist as a yearling and two-year-old
heifer at the H.A.S. Shows 1900 and 1901 and ist at the
R.A.S.E. as a yearling and the dam of the bull Buskin
20222 which has been for some years a stock bull at
Careston and sire of good stock.

126 LAVENDER OF KINNAIRD.

Two Other daughters of Flora of Portlethen
are still in evidence, namely Frederica 859, whose
daughter Fairy Queen of Portlethen 899 went to Water-
side (dam there of the bull Waterside King 870 2nd
as an aged bull at the H.A.S. Show 1878) of
which there are representatives at Portlethen and
at Firmount (Ireland) — and Francisca 861 of which a
daughter Flower Girl 895 went to Aboyne whose grand-
daughter Foxglove 4615 bred there passed in 1879 to
Guisachan and there bred Ambrosia 7888 which passed
at the Sale in 1893 to Rosehaugh and was dam of the
bull Baron Ambrose 12265 ist as a yearling at the H.A.S.
Show 1896 and a prizewinner in 1897-8 and used in the
herd. Francisca is also represented at Phoineas and
Achnagonaln.

LAVENDER OF KINNAIRD.

This family also springs from Old Lady Ann of
which a great granddaughter Lavender of Kinnaird 1007

went to The Thorn whence with her daughter Young
Lavender 1407 she went to Melville Castle where was
bred from the latter Lavender 2nd of Melville 3486.

The family is represented through a daughter of this
cow Lavender 4th 4247 also bred at Melville at Donavourd
and through another daughter Lavender of Urlar 10897
at Benton, Balnagown, and also at Maymouth (Ireland).

This strain had in its early days a great reputation
for milking qualities.

SAINT (ABOYNE.)

This family of somewhat meteoric fame is descended
from Countess of Auchlossan 1555 bred at Auchlossan in

SAINT (ABOYNE). 127

1865 where she produced Sybilla52i3 which went to Bridg-
end and at that sale in 1883 passed to Aboyne Castle where
she was the foundress of this family which no doubt
owes its success in great measure to the bull Frederick
the Great 4680 then in use in the Aboyne herd.

The following are daughters of Sybilla all bred at
Aboyne :

(i) St. Anna 8768, ist at the R.N. and 2nd at the
H.A.S. Shows 1886 as a two-year-old heifer, ist at the
R.N. and 3rd at the H.A.S. Shows 1888, 3rd at the
R.A.S.E. Show and reserve for challenge cup at the R.N.
Show i88g and champion at the R.N. Show 1890 and the
dam of :

(a) St. Agnes 13839 2nd at the R.N. Show 1888 as a
yearling, ist at the R.A.S.E. and R.N. Show 1889 as a
two-year-old and ist and champion at the R.N. Show 1891.

St. Agnes appears to be represented through her
daughters : St. Aime 18062 of which a daughter St.
Adela 24331 passed at the Huntly sale 1897 to Abergeldie
at 71 guineas and bred there St. Adeline 29501 now at
Gatherley Castle — and St. Barbara 20651 which was 2nd
at the H.A.S. Show 1895 as a two-year-old and ist at the
R.N. Show 1896 and bred St. Bees 24332 sold at the
Aboyne Sale in 1897 for 62 guineas : there is a daughter
of the last-named at Huntly Arms, Aboyne.

(b) St. Agatha 13838 ist at the R.N. Show 1889 as a
yearling and 2nd to her sister at the R.N. Show 1891 but
does not appear to be represented.

The family prize at the R.N. Show was gained by
Sybilla and produce in 1888 and by St. Anna and produce
in 1889.

(c) St. Alice 16629 which at the Huntly sale 1892
went as a two-year-old to Moor Park and at the sale there

128 SYBIL (BOGFERN).

in 1897 went back to Aboyne at 85 guineas and was sold
there in i8gg for 30 guineas. At Moor Park St. Alice
bred St. Angela 21274 which at the sale in 1897 went to
Theakston at 41 guineas and was still there in 1896 and
some of her .produce : also St. Agatha 13838 which at
the same sale passed to Preston Bissett as a calf at 71
guineas.

(2) St. Catherine 18063, 2nd as a three-year-old at
the H.A.S. Show of which a daughter St. Cecilia 24333
went at the Huntly sale 1897 to Bruckley Castle at 50
guineas and has produce there.

(3) St. Dorothy 20652 which was included in the sale
in 1899 and is represented at the * Huntly Arms,'
Aboyne.

(4) St. Elizabeth 21915 of which there appears to be
a daughter at Wester Coull.

SYBIL (BOGFERN).

This family takes its name from Sybil 974 bred at
Bogfern in 1864, the granddaughter of Young Matilda
177 also bred there before 1857.

Sybil went to Castle Eraser and was as a cow 2nd at
the H.A.S. Show 1869 and ist at the H.A.S. and R.N.
Shows in 1870. She then passed to Ballindalloch and in
1871 won the Gold Medal at the H.A.S. Show, beating
the well known cow Eisa 977 mentioned in the notes on
the Erica family. She is described as a heavy, hand-
some, level fleshed cow. At Castle Eraser Sybil bred
twins Fred's Darling 1055 and Fred's Darling 2nd 1056.

SYBIL (bOGFERN). I29

At the Castle Fraser Sale in 1870 Fred's Darling
went to Mountblairy, of which a daughter Fresco 3606
passed to Advie and appears to be represented at Levits-
town (Ireland) and another daughter Freak of Mountblairy
4412 has descendants through Falka 10144 at Coynachie
and elsewhere. Of this strain was the bull Statesman of
Coynachie 17308, a prizewinner as a yearling at the
H.A.S. Show in igoi and used in the Coynachie herd.

Fuchsia of Glencorrie 12791 a granddaughter of
Freak of Mountblairy went to Ballindalloch, of which
some good descendants were sold at the sale in 1897.

At the same sale (Castle Fraser) Fred's 2nd Darling
went to Mulben.

From one of her daughters Fred's 4th Darling 1923
was bred at Mulben Fred's 6th Darling 3404, which passed
to Spott.

A granddaughter of this cow went to Haynes Park
and from her is descended the well known prizewinning
cow Darling of Haynes 2nd 32047, 2nd as a cow at the
H.A.S. and R.A.S.E. Shows in 1904 and ist and Cham-
pion female at the R.A.S.E. Show 1906 and a great
prizewinner at other shows in England, and Darling of
Haynes 4th 37504 a prizewinner in England in 1907.

At the Hatton of Eassie sale in 1901 Darling 20th
29434 and Darling 21st 29435 descended from Fred's 6th
Darling were sold as two-year-old heifers at 63 and 75
guineas respectively.

Fred's 4th Darling went from Mulben to Hatton
Castle where she had anumerous progeny * Darlings of
Hatton.'

Of these Darling of Hatton 4505 passed to Minmore
and is represented at Maisemore : Darling of Hatton 2nd

130 SYBIL (BOGFERN).

4768 passed to Waterside and thence to Auchorachan and
appears to have been a proHfic breeder though but few of
her representatives can be found in the Herd Book at the
present time.

One of her daughters Waterside DarHng 10774 is
represented at Ennenteer, and another Waterside Darling
2nd 1322 1 v^^ent to Coynachie and had a considerable
progeny there: another Darling of Auchorachan 16511
vv^ent to Blairmore and thence at the sale in 1898 to
Eccleshall Castle.

At the same sale Daric 25412, a yearling daughter of
this cow, passed to Lan^shott and there bred the bull
DarHngton 17679, " a gay young bull," ist as a yearling
at the Bath and West and at other shows in England in
1901 and sold at the Langshott draft sale that year for 180
guineas to go as stock bull in the herd then being founded
at Greatham Manor. In 1903 he was as an aged bull
2nd at the R.A.S.E. Show to Maramere, Champion that
year at the H.A.S. Show mentioned elsewhere in these
notes, and was a successful sire.

From this cow was also bred Darling of Langshott 2nd
33239, a prizewinner as a two-year-old and represented
in the herd.

Fred's 5th Darling 2363, another daughter of Fred's
2nd Darling, at the Mulben dispersion sale in 1876 went
to Cairdseat whence her daughter Sybil's Darling 4050, a
very fine cow, passed at ;f 100 to Waterside and was 3rd
as a cow at the H.A.S. Show 1883.

Sybil's Darling 2nd 461 1, a daughter of Sybil's
Darling bred at Cairdseat went in 1881 to Canada.

As mentioned above, Sybil passed to Ballindalloch
at the Castle Eraser sale in 1870, her price being 63
guineas, and there bred Siren 1915, a daughter of which

SYBIL (BOGFERN). I3I

went to Asloun ; descended from this cow was Waterside
Sybil 6th 18698 a good milking cow which passed to
Tedfold and produced some animals which were success-
ful at Smithfield and other Fat Stock Shows. Her
granddaughter Symphony of Langshott 31405, bred from
a cow purchased at Tedfold, was dam at Langshott of a
good steer that was a prizewinner as a yearling in 1905
and was in the hands of a purchaser reserve for Champion
Male at the Smithfield Show and Champion at the York
Show in 1906.

From Siren was also bred at Ballindalloch Silvia 3073
which went to Auchorachan and there bred Saturnia 9947,
of which a daughter Sweethope 19289 passed to Castle-
craig and was there dam of the bull Syphon 13020, sold
as a yearling at 140 guineas for export to South America.
Saturnia was the dam of the bull Sutherland 13983 bred
at Auchorachan which went to Callands and appears in
the pedigrees of some good cattle and of Shepherdess
16526 which went at 81 guineas to New Southgate :
from Sophia of Auchorachan 13723, a daughter of Saturnia,
were bred the bulls Savannah 10445, ist as a yearling at
the R.N. Show and other Shows in 1892 and used at
Inchgower where he was sold in 1893 for 92 guineas, and
Serapis of Auchorachan 121 17 used at Aboyne.

Siren was also the dam of Sprite 3796 which was
2nd as a cow at the H.A.S. Show 1882 and ist prize-
winner at local Shows.

It would seem that this is a family which deserves a
better representation in the Herd Book than it appears
at the present to possess.

132 SYBIL OF TILLYFOUR AND ISLA.

SYBIL OF TILLYFOUR AND ISLA.

These families have had as will be seen a great
showyard career but are not now numerously represented
in the female line.

The foundation cow was Fancy of Baads 1948 bred
at Baads in 1870 where she produced :

(i) Sybil 1st of Tillyfour 3524 in 1873, which was
ist as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show 1874 and was sold
to Tillyfour for ^100. As a cow she was ist and
champion at the R.N. Show, ist at the H.A.S. Show 1877,
and 2nd at the Paris Exhibition 1878 : at the Tillyfour
dispersion sale in 1880 she went to Cortachy for no
guineas and at the sale there in 1882 was sold for 400
guineas.

(a) From Sybil ist of Tillyfour was bred Sybil 2nd
of Tillyfour 3526, which as a yearling was 2nd at the

a high price to Glamis and was ist as a yearling and as a
two-year-old at the H.A.S. Shows 1881 and 1882 and was
dam of the well-known bull Siberian 5720 which was
such a successful stock bull in the Glamis herd but she is
not represented in the female line.

From Sybil 2nd of Tillyfour was also bred at Bal-
quharn Sappho Sybil 5020 which passed to Kinnaird and

SYBIL OF TILLYFOUR AND ISLA. 133

thence to Kinnordy and is still represented in the latter
herd through descendants with names in no way con-
nected with their famous female ancestry.

(b) From Sybil ist was also bred at Tillyfour Pride
of the Seine 4513 which went to Guisachan where she
bred a bull Apollo 2456 used there and thence went at a
very high price (500 guineas it is believed) to Glamis,
where she bred Spircea 9352 and Spircea 2nd 10661 but is
apparently not now represented.

(2) Isla 1965, a full sister of Sybil ist of Tillyfour,
bred at Baads in 1874 which was 2nd as a two-year-old
at the H.A.S. Show 1876 and ist as a cow at the H.A.S.

Isla with her daughters Isla 3rd 4376, Isla 4th 5003,
Isla 5th (a calf at foot) won the Family prize at the R.N.
Show 1881. Of these Isla 3rd was 3rd the same year as a
two-year-old at the H.A.S. Show.

Isle of Beauty 5935, another daughter of Isla, was as
a two-year-old 2nd in 1883 and as a cow 3rd in 1884 and
2nd in 1885 at the H.A.S. Show and with her offspring
won the Family prize at the R.N. Show in 1886.

Isla appears to be only represented through her
daughter Isla 2nd 3999, which passed to Glamis and
there bred, amongst others, Isla of Glamis 6182 by
Siberian, the bull above mentioned.

Isla of Glamis went to Pitpointie and there bred Iris
of Pitpointie 17396, of which a daughter Viola of
Pitpointie 22548 passed to Rye Hills and produced there
Viola of Rye Hills 26701, which eventually went to
Birtley and bred well there.

At the Birtley dispersion sale 1906 a handsome
daughter of this cow Irene of Birtley 36148 passed to

134 VICTORIA OF WESTERTOWN.

Bywell Hall at 50 guineas, and a granddaughter Iserine
of Birtley 37913 to Carnmeen (Ireland).

Iris of Pitpointie went to Balliefurth, where she still
was in 1904 in her 15th year.

It seems unfortunate that a family, which was so
distinguished in the sale and show rings, should be now
so sparsely represented, but this may no doubt be partly
attributed to the breeding powers of its distinguished
representatives being adversely affected by their show
yard careers.

VICTORIA OF WESTERTOWN.

Victoria of Westertown 385 a granddaughter of
Victoria of Auchinbo 127 was bred at Westertown in
1858 and is represented through her daughters :

(i) Florence 928, which went to Earnside and there

produced Julia of Earnside 2116, of which there are

descendants at Pitpointie and also in Ireland also

Florence of Earnside 3142 represented at Brucklay
Castle.

(2) Victoria Regina 931 from which was bred at
Westertown Mary of Westertown 933 and from her Alice
of Westertown 1243, which passed to Haddo House and
there bred Alice of Haddo 2564.

From Alice of Haddo has been bred at Portlethen
the * Arabellas ' which are still represented in the herd.
Of these Arabella 6th 21203 went to Woburn (Ireland)
from a granddaughter of which Augusta of Drumfad
29923 was bred at Woburn the bull April Fool of Drumfad
22866, which was a prizewinner in Ireland and passed to
Dundas Castle and was 2nd at the H.A.S. and R.A.S.E.
Shows in 1907.

WATERSIDE MATILDA. I35

There are several representatives of this strain at
Woburn.

From Victoria Regina was also bred at Westertown
Beatrice 937 of which there are representatives at Rock-
field House.

Victoria Regina passed to Goodwood and there pro-
duced in her nth year Duchess of Perth 7539 of which
there are representatives in that herd.

WATERSIDE MATILDA,

This family is descended from Black Diamond of
Indego 1849 bred in 1867, 2nd at the R.N. Show 1869
through her daughter Matilda of Balquharn 4318 which
went to Waterside and is represented through her
daughters bred there.

I. Waterside Matilda 6311 a prizewinner at the
H.A.S. Show 1885 and dam of:

(i) Waterside Matilda 2nd 6312 which had a great
show career, being ist as a two-year-old in 1883 and ist
as a cow in 1884, 1885, and 1888 at the H.A.S. Shows,
1st at the R.N. Show 1884 and ist at the R.A.S.E. Show
1889. From her was bred the bull The Black Monarch
5756 used at Waterside and Morlich, also Waterside
Matilda 4th 9464 which went to Aboyne and there bred
My Lady Matilda 15205 whose granddaughter Matilda of
Minmore 23497 is now represented at Auchorachan and

Pitpointie also Mirella 19369 which went to Tibatoutie

and has descendants there.

(2) Waterside Matilda 3rd 6513 of which a daughter
Waterside Matilda 6th 14497 went to Laughton and bred
there Laughton Matilda 20409 which at that sale in 1898

136 WATERSIDE MATILDA.

passed to Tedfold and was dam of some prizewinning
steers she is represented at Swaylands and at Long-
forth.

(3) Waterside Matilda 5th 11959 which went to
Aldbar and there bred Matilda of Aldbar 20277 which is
still there, granddaughters of this cow Matilda 7th of
Aldbar 31515 and Matilda 8th of Aldbar 33355 passed to
Eshott, the former was ist at Edinburgh and other shows
as a yearling in 1902 the latter was sold at the Eshott
Sale 1906 to go to Bywell Hall.

II. Waterside Matilda 7th 14498 which passed to
Ballindalloch at 155 guineas and bred there the bull
Miclas 10255 which went back to Waterside and was
3rd as a two-year-old at the H.A.S. Show 1894, and used
in the herd, also Mantilla 17944.

From Mantilla was bred Mantlet 21825, 2nd as a
yearling at the H.A.S. Show 1895 and reserve to Minx of
Glamis for the Breed Cup at the Smithfield Show 1896
also Mantua of Ballindalloch 23022, 2nd as a two-
year-old at the H.A.S. Show 1897 and dam of the bulls
Magersfontein 18137 sold at the Perth sale 1901 for 90
guineas to Auchnaguie which was 4th that year at the
H.A.S. Show and used in that herd, and Margrave of
Ballindalloch 19445 sold at the Perth sale 1902 for 100
guineas and ist as a two-year-old at the H.A.S. Show

1903 also Maravilla 24207 which passed at the sale

in 1902 at 75 guineas to Auchorachan and is breeding
there.

Another daughter of Waterside Matilda 7th bred at
Ballindalloch was Manfrida 21824 which went to Ruthven
and has bred there.

Another daughter of Black Diamond of Indego which
has representatives is Waterside Diamond 3199 which

ZARA. 137

went to Burnshangie and there bred Bonspiel 11731 of
which there is a descendant at Brucklay — and Diamond
of Burnshangie 11946 represented at Gatherley Castle.

ZARA.

This is a family which gained fame through prize-
winning females and the production of some good bulls

in former days it is popular and well represented in

the U.S.A. but very sparsely at home.

It traces from Dorrit 316 calved in 1850 which went
to Ardgay as did also her daughter Hinda 322.

At Ardgay from Hinda was bred Nourmahal 726
which passed to Tillyfour and there produced the bull
Bright 454 used in the herd that appears in many good
pedigrees as the sire of Pride of Aberdeen 5th and also of
the bull Juryman 404 which Jilt was carrying when she
went to Ballindalloch.

Before leaving Ardgay Nourmahal bred there
Zara 1228, 2nd as a two-year-old at the Battersea Interna-
tional Show 1862, which also went to Tillyfour and was
dam of the bulls Black Prince of Clova 518 and Scots-
man 474 which was ist as a yearling, 2nd as a two-year-
old, and 1st and 2nd as an aged bull in 1874-5 at the
H.A.S. Show and went to Ballindalloch where he was the
sire of Judge.

From Zara was also bred Kate of Aberdeen 1228 ist
as a yearling and two-year-old in 1864-5 and 2nd as a
cow in 1868 at the H.A.S. Show but not now repre-
sented.

138 ZARA.

Another daughter of Zara was Matilda of Tillyfour
1175, 2nd at theBattersea International 1862 and dam of
the bull Paris 1473 ist prize under two-years-old and one
of the Champion group at the Paris Exhibition 1878 and
used as stock bull in the Easter Skene, Dalmore, and
Aboyne herds, in the latter it is said up to his 15th year

also of Pride of Alford 1778, ist as a yearling at the

H.A.S. and R.N. Show 1872 and ist at the R.N. and 2nd
at the H.A.S. Show as a two-year-old in 1873.

At the Tillyfour Sale 1874 Matilda of Tillyfour went
at 80 guineas to Powrie and her daughter Pride of Alford
with her calf Pride of Montbletton 2204 went at 60
guineas to Montbletton where from the latter was bred
Pride of Montbletton 4th 3821 and from her Reba 5398.

Reba went to Dalmore and was there dam of the
bull Zenophon 8028 ist at the Perth Show and Sale i8go
which was used at Ballindalloch — from Reba was also
bred Zaretta 16736 which at the Dalmore Sale i8gi
passed as a yearling at 38 guineas to Kilbride (Ireland)
where she has had a family, several members of which
have found their way to the not distant herd at Kilquade
where it is apparently being saved from extinction.

Pride of Montbletton 4th appears to have been
exported to the U.S.A. and to be represented in the
Heatherton herd through her daughter * Zarilda 2nd '
from which has been bred some noted prizewinners both
male and female and also good stock bulls.

Pride of Montbletton 3rd 3418 a daughter of Pride of
Alford went to Ontario, Canada.

APPENDIX.

In support of the statement on p. 4 as to the increase
in the percentage of entries of certain families, an analysis
of the entries of bulls in Vol. VIII (1884) and Vol. XXVII
(1903) shows that the percentage of those of the Erica and
Pride of Aberdeen families together increased from 4*242 in
1884 to 15*815 in 1903.

The chart given overleaf shows the variation in the
numbers of entries of ten of the leading families from which
it will be seen that the Erica and Pride of Aberdeen families
made a big advance, that the Queen Mother tribe (other
than Pride of Aberdeen) and that descended from Old Lady
Ann showed a considerable increase, but that the others
showed a decrease.

From an analysis of the entries of twenty-nine leading
families the following are the approximate percentage of

entries in the respective years :

1884. 1903.

Erica, Pride of Aberdeen, and Queen Mother 8*484 22-844

Twenty-six other leading families .. 26*000 25*000

All other families .. .. .. 65*516 52*156

from which it would appear to be probable that the dis-
placement caused by the relative advance of the Erica, Pride
of Aberdeen, and Queen Mother families is to be chiefly
found in the ranks of " all other families."
