 at Ury, and bought from the Marquis of Huntly. Mr 

 Walker, Wester Fintra)', Aberdeen, showed a two-year-old, 

 bred by Mr Rcnnic, Kinblethmont. William Yule, Mains 

 of Feddcrate, showed a four-year-old, bred at Ury. All

 by the Duke of Buccleuch, bred by Mr Raine, Gainsford, 

 Durham, and a three-}'car-old shown by W^illiam Tod, 

 Elphinstone Tower, and bred by James Tweedie, Deuchrie.

 bull, which thus stood as the best bull in the yard. The 

 second prize was awarded to Mr Hutchison, Monyruy,

 Simpson of Cobairdy, whose bull was bred by Thomas
