International, Batter sea, 1862. 



Bull, Pbospeko 302, bred and exhibited by Thomas 

 Lyell, ShielhilL 



Cow, Pride of Aberdeen 581, bred and exhibited by 

 William M'Combie of TiUyfour. 



Prospero and Pride of Aberdeen are referred to in 

 notes on the Perth winners of 1861. The International 

 show at Battersea is included here, as at that exhibition 

 the Highland Society gave the prizes for Scotch stock, 

 and did not hold their own show on account of it. 



It was noted as regards this International exhibition, 

 that the two best females shown in the various classes 

 were Pride of Aberdeen, bred by Mr M'Combie of Tilly- 

 four, and Queen of the Ocean, bred hy Mr E. Booth of 

 Warlaby. In one report of the exhibition it is stated : 

 " Pride of Aberdeen, five years old, closely resembles the 

 first-prize cow in the class for Shorthorns, Queen of the 

 Ocean, three years old. The poll is, however, much fatter, 

 and there is the difiference of two years in favour of the 

 polled cow. When measured, these two very symmetri- 

 cal cows correspond as to girth, height, breadth across 

 loins, length of quarters. Both possess that mellowness 

 of touch and general levelness which distinguish the best 

 specimens of both breeds."
