206 EXISTING SCOTCH HEEDS. 



oline 204, and her bull calf. The Eosys trace from Eosy, 

 by President 4th 368, sold at the Tillyfour sale in 1871 

 to Mr Eoss, Annesley. Eosy was a daughter of Charlotte 

 203, and her grand-daughter Eosy Queen is now at Bridg- 

 end. The Windsor family is represented by Nugget of 

 Morlich 2079, and a heifer and bull. "We need say noth- 

 ing here regarding this branch, the foundress of which, 

 Windsor 202, is so frequently referred to in these pages. 

 The Sylph branch has four specimens headed by Blooming 

 Queen, after Heir of Glory. The pedigree embraces the 

 names of those very fine cows — Bloomer 201 and The 

 Belle 205. There is a heifer calf of the Dandy branch, 

 tracing through Dandy of Drumin 949, and Empress of 

 France 578, to Charlotte 203. In addition to these de- 

 scendants of Mr M'Combie's Queen Mother, there are mem- 

 bers of the Kinnaird Fanny, Mains of Kelly Jennet 

 (which, as elsewhere noticed, goes back to Mr M'Combie's 

 Jenny Lind 27), and several other families. As already 

 stated, the stock-bull is Knight of the Shire 1699, after 

 Dragon 1178 and out of Pride 3rd of Mulben 3249. He 

 was the first-prize two-year-old at the Highland Society's 

 show last year, and also won those coveted honours — the 

 Challenge Cup and the M'Combie prize — at the Eoyal 

 Northern at Aberdeen. We understand that an offer of 

 300 guineas has been refused for him. 



From the Bridgend herd a large number of animals 

 have been disposed of to go abroad. The Queen cow 

 Matilda 3270 went to the Hon. Mr Pope, Canada ; Dandy 

 2nd 3266 to Mr G. W. Henry, Kansas ; Pride 20th to the 

 Hon. M. H. Cochrane, Canada ; and Knight of St Patrick 

 to Messrs Gudgell & Simpson, Kansas. Very high prices 

 were paid for these.
