80 SHORTHORNS 



was the very neat White Border Riever (68,254), 

 a noted prize-winner by Sir Lucius Studley (64,852). 

 When the herd was sold off on 26th March 1912 

 most of its old glory had departed. Attempts had 

 been made to hold it as much as possible to the 

 order of other years and No Surrender ! but War- 

 laby and Killerby were gone, and Cruickshank cattle 

 were in command of the Shorthorn world. Low 

 prices were consequently expected. But even as 

 commercial stock, the cattle were absurdly cheap. 

 Mr Wm. Duthie paid the top figure of 46 gs. for 

 Wild Wave, a handsome two-year-old roan heifer, 

 and the average for 64 animals was 22, 2s. 4d.
