marnock, in 1840, and the second prize for the best cow in 1841, 

 and she was one of five that got the first prize for the best five 

 cows at the Kilmarnock Cattle Show, in 1842. I sold her when 

 twenty years old. Her constitution and frame were as good as 

 ever at that age. She was sixteen years old when first shown 

 in 1840. She had a bull calf when she was twenty years old, 

 which took the first prize for one year old bulls, at Dondonald 

 Cattle Show, in 1845. 



" I consider Flora McDonald a good milker and breeder. She 

 was one of three that took the first prize at the Ayrshire Agri- 

 cultural Association's Show held at Kilmarnock, in 1842, for the 

 best three cows, and she was also one of three that got the first 

 prize for the best three cows at the Ayrshire Agricultural Asso- 

 ciation's Show at Dairy, in 1845. She was served about the 

 7th of July, by ' Young Bauldy,' who took the Ayrshire Asso- 

 ciation's first prize at Dairy, in 1845, for aged bulls.

" I do also certify, that at the time and place stated above, I 

 sold to Mr. Bickett an Ayrshire cow, Jeanie Deans. She was 

 one of three that took the first prize for the best, three-year old 

 cows, shown at the Androssan Agricultural Association's Cattle 

 Show, held at Dairy, in 1843. She also took the first prize at 

 the Syminton, Dondoland, and Kilmarnock Cattle Shows, held 

 in 1843, for the best three year old cow. Her dairy qualities 

 are excellent, and she breeds well. I am serving my cows this 

 year with a son of hers.

The following is a copy of an opinion given by Mr. McGregor 

 to Mr. Bickett, relating to the bull " Prince Albert": 



"Mr. Bickett wished me to give my opinion of 'Prince Al- 

 bert,' that was bred by me, but at present the property of Mr. 

 Kirkwood. This I can do with pleasure, as I consider him to 

 be one of the best bred bulls in Ayrshire, a fine animal of his 

 age, and of great promise.
