WHITTINGEHAME HERD 67 



Colly nie, and by Gravesencl (46,461); and Prince 

 Superior (79,660), from Barrelwell. Towards the end 

 of Mr Charles Smith's life the Whittingehame herd 

 had been reduced to very small proportions, and 

 when Mr Hedley Smith took up the agency he re- 

 solved to strike out afresh on Cruickshank lines. At 

 the Northern and other sales he gradually selected 

 valuable females of the Clipper, Princess Eoyal, 

 Goldie, Augusta, Queen of Rothes, Lavender, Broad- 

 hooks, Jilt, Lady Dorothy, Rosewood, Rosebud, Non- 

 pareil, and other families. To these he put high-class 

 bulls. Caliph (85,514), a red Broadhooks by Victor of 

 Sittyton (8071) from a Royal Star (71,502) cow came 

 from Lord Lovat ; Proud Prince (106,643), a red by 

 Captain of the Mint (94,565), was a selection from 

 Millhills; then came Lancaster Crest (116,162), bred 

 by Mr John Marr and by Royal Leader (103,727), 

 and four Collynie bulls. These were Scottish Mint 

 (93,369), a roan by Scottish Fancy (75,601); Proud 

 Champion (10,096), a very fine red roan by Pride 

 of Avon (86,878); Primrose Star (106,555), a beau- 

 tiful white by Golden Primrose (98,979), and the roan 

 Roving Boy (127,852), by Max of Cluny. Primrose 

 Star took first at the Liverpool Royal, and second 

 at the Dumfries Highland as a yearling, and Roving 

 Boy was the winning two-year at the Manchester 

 Royal of 1916.
