HERD NOTICES 107 



President of the Mint (109,670), and the roan Eliza 

 Alexander (123,848), bred by the Earl of Rosebery 

 at Mentmore, and from the same dam as the Royal 

 English reserve champion Elegance. So far as he 

 was tested the Cluny bull proved a thorough success. 

 He was sold to fill a special order for the Argentine. 

 Partial use was made in 1918 of the home-bred light 

 roan Lexicon of the Lovat Julia or Dairymaid family, 

 and by Lex of Cluny. He was then exported by 

 Mr Leslie Smith, and drew a high price at auction 

 in the States. Alexander, now over six years old, 

 was recently sold to Mr James Murray. Always 

 smooth and mellow-fleshed, easily kept and perfect in 

 temper, he has been a fine breeder. A high-class 

 yearling was acquired last season in Pellipar Jehu 

 (vol. 65), a rich roan of Colonel Ogilby's breeding, 

 by Edgcote Regalia (125,396), out of Luxury 40th by 

 Count Crystal (108,276), Regalia being by Collynie 

 Regal King from a dam by King Christian of Den- 

 mark. As a show bull Pellipar Jehu is easily the 

 best bull ever owned by Mr Hunter. Linksfield 

 Model, the beautiful dark roan bull calf which was 

 acquired at Colonel Johnston's dispersion sale, is very 

 promising. He is by the 3000-gs. Lothian Mario 

 (137,713) out of a Mary of Argyle cow. 



The owner of Arngask sometimes finds his field 

 space too limited. His general aim plays around 

 40 to 50 head of Shorthorns, but the latter total 

 is often exceeded one more proof that numerical 

 exactions must make way at times before enthusiasm 

 and a great breed's fascination !
