 and Butterfly Princess, of Bates blood ; the Heather- 

 wick Fairy and Mayflower ; the Jenny Lind ; the

 1893-94 were Goldie 36th, bred at Uppermill by Mr 

 Wm. S. Marr, and a Broadhooks, bred by Lord Lovat.

 of Trumps (129,015), and Fairlawne Guardsman 

 (136,450), now in the herd, and by Collynie Knight
