210 EXISTING SCOTCH HERDS. 



by the purchase of a cow named Livy 2nd from Mr Bowie, 

 Mains of Kelly, and the bull Prince Albert 2nd 745, by Sir 

 William 705, dam Kate of Baads 1947, from Mr Eeid, 

 Baads. Several other fine animals were added, but pleuro- 

 pneumonia broke out, and they nearly all succumbed to it. 

 After coming to Clinterty in 1876, Mr Eeid determined to 

 make a fresh start, but again he was cleared out by pleuro 

 in 1878. The present is therefore the third herd begun by 

 Mr Eeid. The bull Duke of Edinburgh 979 had been 

 added from Baads, and the chief purchases since have been 

 Waterside Queen 2nd, of the Kinnaird Fanny family, 

 bought at Mr Wilken's sale in 1878 ; Hope 3895, of the 

 Drumin Lucy family, and Flossy 5027, of the W^estertown 

 Victoria family, at Mr Eobertson's sale at Burnside in 

 1880; Craigellachie 3882, by Warrior 1291, at Lord 

 Airlie's sale ; Bella of Baads 4375, Spott of Baads 4378, 

 and Clara of Baads 5025, from Baads. In February 1881, 

 Black Prince of Greystone 1850 was bought from Mr 

 Eeid, Greystone. He was a most promising bull-, and a 

 first-rate stock getter, but unfortunately he died of splenic 

 apoplexy in July of the same year. In October 1881, 

 Lord Chancellor 1782, after Sir Maurice 1319, and out of 

 Crocus 2nd 3765, of the Balwyllo Isabella family, was ac- 

 quired at the Eothiemay sale, and is coming on well. The 

 number in the herd at present is thirteen, representing 

 chiefly the Lucys of Drumin, the Westertown Victorias, and 

 the Li vies of Mains of Kelly, &c. The only animal sold 

 from, the herd was Prince Albert 2nd, who went to Mr 

 Gordon, Tullochallum. He gained a number of prizes, 

 including first at the Eoyal Northern, and second at the 

 Highland Society. Duke of Edinburgh was a prize-winner 

 at Tarland.
