HERD NOTICES 311 



Clara line by Knight of Collynie, from a Danesfield 

 Storm King cow, and Collynie Campaigner, a Clipper 

 by Knight of Collynie, have proved valuable breeders. 



The first female animal of any consequence which 

 Mr Malcolm bought after entering Dunmore was a 

 Golden Drop, bred by the late Mr Stott in Kincar- 

 dineshire, and by Achilles (40,951). This member of 

 a family much esteemed by Mr Wm. Duthie won the 

 Challenge Cup at Stirling as a three-year-old. Her 

 daughter, Wave Drop by Wave King (48,916), after- 

 wards won the Cup as a two-year-old, and her grand- 

 daughter, Rain Drop by The Abbot, finally secured 

 the trophy. Rain Drop was probably the best of her 

 line at Dunmore. She was twice third at the High- 

 land, and was sold for exportation. The next female 

 acquired was Rolla, bred by Mr M'Kessock in the 

 North. As a yearling she led at the Highland. 

 Hathaway 5th, another fine white, was bought at Mr 

 Duthie's sale in 1902. She was by Scottish Fancy, 

 her dam being by Master of the Ceremonies. At the 

 Legars dispersion sale Mr Malcolm bought Lowland 

 Beauty and Dewdrop. The former produced Low- 

 land Dream, a Highland Society third-prize winner, 

 and the latter bred Invincible, an Edinburgh winner. 



Pretty heifer calves were secured at the Stoneytown 

 sale in 1905. These were Roan Gem by Pride of 

 Avon (86,878), and Lady Duff by Gold Bank 

 (86,063). Roan Gem's first calf in Stirlingshire was 

 Dunmore Garnet, which, after taking many prizes, 

 was sold for U.S.A. Her second calf was Dunmore 

 Garland, which as a two-year-old led at the Dum- 

 fries Highland, and wherever shown. Unfortunately
