the extraordinary success of the Earl of Fife's exhibits. 

 With one exception. Lord Fife and his factor, Mr Hannay, 

 carried all the first prizes for polled cattle — a most won- 

 derful feature in such formidable company. 



" Young Viscount 736 here looked almost perfect in 

 form. Deep, square, and level, he lacked length of neck 

 a trifle, but he had no other fault, and was ' head and 

 shouldei's ' above his compeers in the aged class. The 

 shift to Drumin did not prevent Adrian 2nd 632 from 

 again following Young Viscount. For his position 

 Adrian 2nd was indebted to his remarkable depth of 

 fore-rib and great fore-flank development. St Clair, also 

 from Duff House, had lengthened out considerably since 

 the previous year, and was a popular enough first in the 

 two-year-old class. Mr Hannay, with Sir Wilfrid 1157, 

 a very strong yearling of Eothiemay breeding, and a 

 future 100 guinea purchase by Lord Strathmore, was a 

 creditable first in a large class, closely run by the 

 Ballindalloch bred Jilt bull Judge 1150 of Paris fame, 

 •and also sold at a hundred guineas for exportation to 

 Canada. 



" An immense class of cows was headed by Lord Fife's 

 four-year-old deep, massive, wealthy cow Innes 1934. 

 There was no denying her that position. Shapely and 

 well brought out she was. Eva 984, from Ballindalloch, 

 rather hardly dealt with the year before, got second 

 honours, leaving third to the Easter Skene's Blackberry 

 1813, first as a two-year-old at Glasgow, as noted above. 

 Mr Hannay won in a splendid class of two-year- 

 old heifers with Zingra 2471, a remarkably well 

 brought out, well proportioned heifer, bred by Mr Hunter, 

 Confunderland. She never, however, did nmch as a cow. 

 Nor was the future showyard career of Mr Skinner's 

 winning yearling Gaiety 2219 more successful, although 

 she bred well, and is still a massive round-ribbed cow at 

 Drumin. The favourite yearling heifer, with experienced
