HERD NOTICES 273 



From Uppermill there followed, in 1893-96, excellent 

 breeders in Man of War (65,886), Swordsman (69,689), 

 and King's Favourite (70,719). Prince of Masters 

 (73,305), a selection from Collynie in 1897, left some 

 first-rate stock. White Archer (78,144) came from 

 Montrave in 1899, and Knight of Rosewood (79,171) 

 from Collynie in 1900. These were followed by Royal 

 Bounty (89,907), from Uppermill in 1904, Pride of 

 Livet (109,678), from Garbity in 1910, and Royal 

 Crest (113,146), from Newton of Insch in 1911. Ex- 

 ported to the Argentine, Royal Crest was sold there 

 for 3600, his buyer being the noted breeder Mr 

 Leonardo Pereyra. One of the best stock bulls ever 

 used in the herd, Edgcote Czar (120,081) by Collynie 

 Marshal (105,071), from a Charlotte Corday dam, was 

 bought back in 1919 by Mr Wallace his breeder, and 

 is now stationed at Balcairn, Aberdeenshire. The 

 stylish show bull Collynie Clarionet (124,840) by the 

 champion Strowan Clarion (110,333) was a 1914 pur- 

 chase. He was exported to the Argentine as a two- 

 year-old, and sold there for 960. Edgcote Czar has a 

 high-class successor in Newton Grand Duke (138,201), 

 a dark roan bred by the late Colonel A. T. Gordon, 

 and by the front-rank sire Grand Champion (120,527), 

 out of the famous old breeder Countess 17th, the dam 

 of Count Fascinator, Count Crystal, Count Scarlet, 

 Countess Crystal, and other noted animals. Very few 

 female animals from the herd have been sent to public 

 sales. Surplus heifers have been sold privately as a 

 rule for the Argentine, South Africa, the United 



States, and Canada. In 1889 a draft of 21 was sold
