HERD NOTICES 277 



bought privately from Newton, gave the Saltoun herd 

 a first-class start, the blood of such grand bulls as 

 Ruddy Star (73,555) by Star of Morning; Mario 2nd 

 (59,439) by the Champion Mario ; the Collynie Prince 

 of Ceremonies (92,903) ; Violet's Victory (85,001) ;

In 1917 a Bellona was bought from Mr Morrison, 

 Phingask, and a Butterfly from Mr George Campbell 

 of Bieldside, Inverurie. The Butterfly was in calf 

 to the Collynie Bed Knight, and at Saltoun she pro- 

 duced the handsome red bull calf Brave Knight, 

 which won first and special at Darlington, and was 

 then sold for export. A very fine Sittyton Violet 

 was selected from Newton that season, and to Lord 

 Advocate she bred a pretty heifer calf which was sold 

 to Mr Wylie Hill for 230 gs. A couple of Clippers, 

 bred at Montrave, were bought from Mr Wm. T. 

 Malcolm. One of these, the beautiful first-prize cow 

 at Edinburgh, unfortunately failed to breed, but the 

 other bred to Collynie Silver Knight a fine roan heifer 

 calf, which was sold at Aberdeen for 220 gs. At Mr 

 James Durno's Uppermill sale in October 1917, 

 Captain Fletcher secured at 350 gs. a stylish red 

 Orange Blossom heifer calf by Collynie Golden Flash 

 (119,546), out of Orange Bloom, the grandmother of 

 the heifer calf which was sold a few minutes earlier to 

 the Prince of Wales for 800 gs. Zoe 32nd, a very 

 finely bred Clipper, was an addition from Mains of 

 Sanquhar.
