THE QUEEN TRIBE. 205 



buying her, whatever the price might be. Since she went 

 to Bridgend, she has become a heifer breeder, and has had 

 two female calves, that of 1882 being a very beautiful 

 animal, after Knight of the Shire. Pride of Aberdeen 9th 

 was got by Sir Garnet 684, who was also sire of the cham- 

 pion cow Sybil 2nd of Tilly four 3526, and was half 

 brother on the dam's side to Gaily 1793, the only cow 

 comprised in the Paris group. Mr Auld also owns Pride 

 of Aberdeen 10th 3250, got by Sir Garnet 684, and out of 

 that splendid breeding cow Pride of Aberdeen 5th 1174. 

 Four bulls have been bred from Pride 10th, one of them, 

 Knight of St Patrick, the first polled animal bred by Mr 

 Auld, having been selected by Messrs Gudgell and Simp- 

 son as stock sire of their very fine herd in Kansas, U.$. 

 He was sold for 120 guineas, and is an animal of rare 

 quality and style. 



The other branches of the Queen, tribe represented 

 at Bridgend are the Daisies, Duchesses, Charmers, 

 Windsors, Charlottes, Crinolines, and Eosys. There are 

 three Daisies in the herd. One of them is the cow, 

 Vine 10th 3288, by the Daisy bull Dragon 1178, sire of 

 Knight of the Shire 1699, and out of Vine 8th 3252 by 

 Sir Garnet 684. She had gone from Tillyfour to Mores- 

 dale Hall, thence to Storrs, and, having again been brought 

 to the North of Scotland by Mr Wilken, was acquired 

 from him by Mr Auld. The other Daisies are the heifer 

 Vampire Queen and the bull Wedgewood, bred by Lord 

 Tweedrnouth. The Duchesses, so well known at Wester- 

 town, are represented by Duchess 3rd 943 and her son 

 and daughter. Duchess 3rd is a very closely bred cow, 

 and an analysis of her pedigree shows a most wonderful 

 concentration of Queen and Panmure blood together, with 

 a slight dilution of the old Matchless strain through her 

 dam's sire, President 354, thus preserving the St John's 

 Wells blood. The Crinoline family is represented by 

 Favourite of Blairshinnoch 3239, grand-daughter of Crin-
