CORTACHY TO PERTH. 251 



Prince Arthur (13497) and Prince Oscar (16757) 

 from Mr. Richard Booth; and Rossie was also 

 one of Lord Raglan's resting-places, as he gra- 

 dually moved up North from Southwicke and Athel- 

 staneford, and so on, after three years in the Carse, 

 to Cortachy and Sittyton. Prince Alfred could not 

 be got at the time, and Lord Privy Seal (16444) was 

 bought from Hill Head. Cherry Duke 2nd is the 

 only Bates bull on the list, but when his gold me- 

 dium medal had been claimed at Stirling he was very 

 smartly sent to the flesh ers. Lord Privy Seal is one 

 of those compact, nice, little bulls, who looks as if, to 

 adopt an expression of Mr. Wetherell's, " he had been 

 put into a lemon-squeezer, and just made the right 

 size" ; and his cross with a big red cow, Jenny 

 Groat, now at Mr. Creighton's, near Inchture, 

 produced the well known Great Seal (19905). Lord 

 John Russell (16417) brought the gold medal for the 

 best bull in the yard back from Belfast to Rossie, 

 and it was Lord Privy Seal's lot always to be second 

 to him. Prince Louis, a winner of six first prizes, 

 had just been sold to Mr. Milne ; but Lord Louis, a 

 Kelso bronze medallist and third at Stirling, and 

 Grand Royal, who was bought from Mr. Torr, 

 were in the well-filled bull ranks, and so was 

 Baron Highthorn.* 



Ventilation is a great point with his lordship, and 

 it is well managed by pantiles, so as to secure good 



* Since our visit, Mr. Carr's Prince of Windsor has been purchased, and 

 Lord Privy Seal exchanged for Messrs. Cruickshank's Windsor Augustus.
