 and Lord Lurgan, a fresh-looking, hearty patrician of 

 fifteen seasons' coursing experience, passes a word of 

 good cheer to the Irish Brigade about the black dog's

 for Waterloo 20th, and Mr. E. Bowley 130 guineas for the Waterloo 

 bull Charger. In 1862 the herd was sold to Mr. Atherton, who soon 

 after parted with the Grand Duchesses (nine cows and four bulls), to 

 Mr. Hegan, of Dawpool, by private contract, and sold off the Cherries, 

 the Fenellas (from Booth's Fame) and the Grand Duke bulls. Mr. 

 Hegan paid 5000/. for his lot, and three cows were barren. He died in 

 1865, and his herd was brought to the hammer at Willis's Rooms, where 

 Mr. Strafford gave a splendid lunch to his friends and supporters. The 

 12 females were in four lots, and were all purchased by Mr. Betts, 

 whose herd was sold off in 1867.
