EMPRESS OF FRANCE OR DANDY OF DRUMIN. 47 



Empress 8863 by Kentigern (a bull calved on the 5th 

 March 1882), which would indicate a very early mating 

 of the parents of Eugenie Empress. 



Eugenie Empress, the result of this apparent pre- 

 cocity, went to Dalmore, and thence to South Ella ; in 

 the latter herd was bred from her Black Empress 14861, 

 ist as a yearling at the H.A.S. Show 1890, and 

 Champion at the Birmingham Fat Stock Show, and 

 Scotch Champion at Smithfield in 1891. 



There was bred from Eugenie Empress, at Dalmore, 

 Eugenie Empress 2nd 12618, which went to Pitpointie, 

 where a considerable number of females were bred of 

 this strain. 



Of these Princess Eugenie 2nd 17400 appears to 

 have gone to Droagh, Ireland, and to have bred there : 

 another, Princess Eugenie 6th 21288, a grand-daughter 

 of Eugenie Empress 2nd, passed to Naughton in 1895 at 

 60 guineas, and at that dispersion sale in 1896 to South 

 Ella at 61 guineas. Her progeny, Black Empress 2nd 

 25326 and others, made good prices at the South 

 Ella dispersion sale in 1901, going to Eshott, 

 Levitstown (Ireland), and elswhere. Of these a grand- 

 daughter, Quines 29954, which went to Doonholm, was 

 2nd in 1903 and ist in 1904 as a cow at the H.A.S. 

 Show. 



At the same sale Princess Eugenie 6th, then in her 

 ninth year (a neat and typical cow), passed to Lang- 

 shott at 68 guineas, where she bred a bull, Dandy Prince 

 20327, ist in the young class at the Birmingham Show 

 1903, and used at Butterstocks and since at Goscote 

 as a stock bull ; also two females, one of which, Queenie 

 of Langshott 36912, was a prizewinner, as a yearling in 

 1905, and has bred in the herd.
