 and reserve to the Windsor Ronald for the champion- 

 ship. The following season Roan Conqueror was 

 champion at Dublin and the Glasgow Highland, and 

 at Park Royal he stood reserve at the final to Royal 

 Emblem (82,154). He was then exported to the 

 Argentine, and sold for 1750 gs.

 late Colonel A. T. Gordon's Fascinator (88,569) ; the

 Rose Lynedoch by Lord Lynedoch, the sire of Royal 

 Emblem, followed Roan Conqueror. Choir Boy proved 

 a striking success as a breeder. His females gave the 

 herd a great forward impulse. The reputation of 

 the herd was more than maintained by the Saphock

 (91,478) out of the Broadhooks cow Ellen Terry 4th, 

 the Uppermill-bred roan Lady Royal Eclipse (87,179) 

 by Bapton Favourite (76,080), and Dunmore Sirdar 

 (95,029), a brilliant prize-winner until he met with an 

 accident in 1908. He was by the famous Linksfield 

 Champion (86,401), the most perfect show bull of his 

 time.
