INVERNESS, 1856. 427 



As this is the last time Mr Watson's name appears in 

 this list, we may note that he was able to send forward 

 ten of our " Senior Wranglers." 



Berwick, 1854. 



Bull, CUPBEARER 59, bred by Alexander Bowie, Mains 

 of Kelly, exhibited by Sir James Carnegie. 



Cow, WINDSOR 202, bred and exhibited by William 

 M'Combie, Tillyfour. 



Cupbearer 59 is fully referred to elsewhere. He was 

 the first of Mr Bowie's great champions, and his progeny 

 are alike numerous and excellent. He was indeed not 

 only a splendid-looking bull, but one of exceptional im- 

 pressiveness. There are credited to him in vol i. of 

 ' Herd Book' no fewer than 38 calves. Mr Bowie had 

 great success at this show, being first and second for 

 aged bulls, and first for two-year-old bulls. The animals 

 were Cupbearer, Earl Spencer 2nd 25, and Hanton 228. 



Windsor, who derived her name from the fact that she 

 was first at the Eoyal English show at Windsor as a year- 

 ling in 1851, was an in-bred Queen. She was from 

 Queen Mother 348 (by Panmure 51 and out of Queen of 

 Ardovie 29), and after Victor 46, whose dam, Jean Ann 

 206, was also after Panmure and out of Queen of Ardovie 

 29. As the dam of the bull Windsor 221, so famous in 

 the Westertown and Kinnaird herds, and of Eob Eoy 

 Macgregor 267, the sire of that impressive Tillyfour 

 bull Black Prince 366, she must hold a high place in the 

 history of polled cattle. 



Inverness, 1856. 



Bull, HANTON 228, bred by Alexander Bowie, Mains of 

 Kelly, exhibited by William M'Combie, Tillyfour.
