144 EXTINCT HERDS. 



same year was also calved Poppy, by Cup-Bearer 59, out 

 of Pride of Angus 176. She was second as one of a pair 

 at the Royal Northern as a yearling ; first as a two-year- 

 old ; second at the Highland Society's show at Inverness 

 as a two-year-old ; and won first prizes at the Angus Agri- 

 cultural Society's shows at both ages. She was sold to Mr 

 Collie, Ardgay, for about 60, and he changed her name 

 to Empress 312. She had only one calf, a bull. Kitty, 

 by Cup-Bearer 59, out of Kate 12, was shown with her in 

 the pair that took the first prize as yearlings at the Angus 

 show, and second at the Royal Northern. Kitty was sold 

 to Lord Cawdor. 



In 1855, in the whole herd there were only two heifer 

 calves. One of these, Oriana 378, by Cup-Bearer 59, out 

 of Octavia 331, was a very late calf. She, however, won 

 the first prizes at the Royal Agricultural Society's show 

 at Chester as a heifer, and at Warwick as a cow ; also two 

 first prizes at local shows as a cow. She was one of the 

 neatest animals in the herd, though not big. She was 

 sold to the late Mr Goodlet, Bolshan, in 1861, for 40 

 guineas. She left very good stock ; but it was almost 

 all kept at Kinnaird, and was exterminated by rinderpest. 

 Her blood is, however, to be found in some pedigrees, 

 through her son Orestes 273. The bull calves in 1855 

 were a good lot, but few of them appear in modern pedi- 

 grees. Mark, afterwards called Kinnaird 224, by Cup- 

 Bearer 59, out of Mary of Kinnaird 326, a hand-reared 

 calf, was bought by the late Mr Collie, Ardgay, and be- 

 came a celebrated bull. He was first at the Highland 

 Society's show at Glasgow as a two-year-old, and carried 

 all before him at local shows. He was a very heavy bull, 

 which was somewhat remarkable, as his mother was a 

 very small cow in fact, the smallest cow in the herd. 

 He had a grand fore-end, but wanted a little at the top 

 of the tail. His name appears in many pedigrees, and 

 liis stock were uniformly good. A good young bull,
