158 EXTINCT HEEDS. 



of his prizes in vol. i. of the ' Herd Book.' The third bull 

 from Princess, Noble 245, was a pretty good bull, though 

 inferior to his brother. He was, however, decidedly hard 

 in the hair. Princess 47 has two recorded daughters — 

 viz.. Bracelet 50, by Joseph 53, and Maggie of Balwyllo 

 433, by Maynooth 58. The former, Bracelet, was a prize- 

 taker, but I have no personal recollection of her. I re- 

 member, however, a very pretty daughter of hers. Bracelet 

 2nd 455, by Stanley 2nd 198, who was sold at the sale at 

 Powis in 1859. The other daughter of Princess — viz., 

 Maggie of Balwyllo 433 — I remember well. She was 

 rather smaller than many of the rest of the stock, but she 

 was neat, and what I call " ladylike." Her stock were all 

 good. Her son, Tom 310, by Windsor 221, was a very 

 fine bull, and was second at the Highland Society's show 

 at Perth in 1861 as a yearling, besides taking first prizes 

 at local shows. He was bought at the Balwyllo sale in 

 1863 by Mrs Scott for 40 guineas, and died of rinder- 

 pest. Maggie of Balwyllo's three daughters were Balwyllo 

 Queen 445, by Eob Eoy 56 ; Princess Balwyllo 459, also 

 by Eob Eoy; and Heather Bell 717, by President 3rd 246. 

 Of these the second was sold to Mr Lyell, Shielhill, as a 

 yearling, and a very nice one she was. The other two 

 were both bought by the Earl of Southesk. These 

 two sisters were not unlike, both being very favour- 

 able specimens of the herd. Balwyllo Queen 445 took 

 many prizes both at the Highland Society and local shows, 

 and was the dam of Jupiter 471, and Quadroona, both 

 by Windsor 221, and both Highland Society first-prize 

 winners. Balwyllo Queen was also the dam of Bessie 

 Bell of Balwyllo 710, by Eob Eoy, a very nice cow, sold to 

 Mr Collie, Ardgay, along with her bull calf, Arthur of 

 Balwyllo 478, at the 1863 sale, for 40 guineas and 

 25 guineas respectively. Neither Balwyllo Queen nor 

 Heather Bell bred after the rinderpest, except the latter, 

 who, as already stated, had one deformed calf. I much
