368 THE LEADING FAMILIES. 



Drumin and Mains of Kelly Lucys. 



The Lucy family, although now best known in con- 

 nection with the Drumin and Mains of Kelly herds, is 

 descended from one of the oldest tribes at Portlethen. 

 They are of the same strain as the bull Eaglan 208, for 

 whom Mr "Walker, Portlethen, refused an offer of £230 

 from the Emperor Napoleon in 1856. The following 

 exhibits the composition of the pedigree : —

Baads Syhils and Kates. 



The wonderful show-yard success of those two families 

 is commented on in the notice of Mr Eeid's herd at 

 Baads. The striking fact about the breeding of Mr Eeid's 

 cattle is that SybH 1st of Tillyfour 3524, and Halt 3525 

 (out of Kate 1947, the dam of Prince Albert of Baads 

 1336), were respectively after a son and out of a daughter 

 of President 4th 368. Isla 1965, another famous Baads 

 cow, was a full sister of Sybil 1st 3524. We need not 

 here repeat the statements made in the account of the 

 Baads herd as to the prizes won by these cattle, or the 

 high prices members of the Sybil and Kate families have 

 realized in the public sale rings. In both respects they 

 have established for themselves a position in the front 

 rank of polled stock. There wiU, of course, be some 

 regret that the recorded pedigree is so brief ; but it must 

 be remembered that several excellent and fashionable fami- 

 lies of other breeds have sprung into repute with quite as
