HERD NOTICES 165 



mas Carol (105,031), a red of the Queen of Rothes 

 family, and Golden Sunlight (111,936), proved very 

 good breeders. The latter was sire of the Perth 

 2nd prize bull of 1914, which was sold to Mr Mac- 

 lennan for 500 gs. Broadhooks Victor 2nd (101,658), 

 bred by the Earl of Northbrook, was a bull of great 

 substance, and he left some excellent females. One 

 of these, Village Blossom, mated with the Millhills 

 Cupbearer of Collynie (114,860), bred the short-legged 

 dark roan Macebearer (126,693), which was sold in 

 the Argentine for 1745. One of the best breeding 

 cows now in the herd is Lady Betty, by Mr Stewart's 

 Collynie Cruickshank. Her dark roan son Golden 

 Charm by Cupbearer of Collynie was sold to Mr 

 Maconochie in 1917, and he was sire of the Cudham 

 Court reserve group at Birmingham last spring, in- 

 cluding the white Cudham President, for which Mr 

 Duthie paid 1700 gs. In course of the last three 

 years good results have followed the use of the Duthie 

 Gloaming Star (136,732), an Augusta by the Mill- 

 hills Clipper Star (124,786), and the Stow-on-the- 

 Wold King of Diamonds (137,377), which is out of 

 the Saphock Diamond Actress, the first calf to make 

 500 gs. at Aberdeen. Mr Dron is now using the 

 dark roan Doune Majestic, a very blocky- framed 

 mellow-handling roan, for which he paid 1500 gs. 

 He is by Dunglass Brilliant (120,003), and is out of 

 the same dam as Doune Grand Knight, the Perth 

 reserve champion of 1917. 



As already indicated, Mr Dron's herd on the female 

 side runs mainly to Mysies and Prides. The Clippers
