140 EXTINCT HERDS. 



prizes at the Highland Society and local shows. He 

 proved a most valuable acquisition to the herd leaving 

 a great number of good stock ; and it is curious to note 

 that Mr Carnegie is aware of only one calf out of the very 

 large number that he got that had any trace of scurs. 

 The portrait of Cup-Bearer is in vol. i. of the ' Herd 

 Book/ and a representation of his head is on the binding 

 of that volume. The price paid for this magnificent bull 

 was 60. 



In 1853, Pride of Angus 176, the first-prize two-year- 

 old heifer at the Eoyal Northern Society's show, was 

 bought for 100 from the late Eobert Scott of Balwyllo. 

 In the same autumn, at the Auchtertyre sale of the late 

 Mr Watson, Keillor, the cow Octavia 331, and the year- 

 ling heifer Emily 332, were added to the herd. The for- 

 mer was a prize heifer, and was entered in the catalogue 

 as by Old Jock 1, dam Old Favourite. She turned out, 

 however, not to be in calf, and was put to Cup-Bearer 59. 

 The issue was Odin 153, who was sold to Mr Morison of 

 Bognie, and whose name appears in so many of the 

 Bognie and Montbletton pedigrees. The heifer Emily 

 332 is entered in the same catalogue as by Old Jock 

 1, dam Beauty, "the dam of Sir T. Burnett's famous 

 bull." There was, as already stated, some confusion re- 

 garding the various Beauties in the ' Herd Book/ and Mr 

 Carnegie believes that there are three, if not more, separ- 

 ate animals of that name, all bred by Mr Watson, Keillor, 

 and probably all nearly related. Xone of these had 

 anything to do with Beauty 96, who was, as mentioned 

 before, of a totally different strain of blood. Mr Fer- 

 guson, Kinnochtry, informs us that Beauty, the dam of 

 Emily 332, was sold by Mr Watson to Sir Alexander 

 Burnett. Mr Watson bought her and her yearling bull, 

 The Baronet 339, back from Sir Alexander in 1856. Emily 

 332 became noted as the dam of Erica 843, whose blood 

 is now so well known. She was a cow of fair but not
