THE M'COMBIE PRIZE. 441 



1870. Geoege Brown, Westerfcown, Fochabers. 



Colonel Fraser gained the first prize in the section 

 for cows; but as this cow gained the Challenge 

 Cup in 1869, she could not compete. The judges 

 awarded the cup to the second-'pnze winner in sec- 

 tion for cows, Duchess 1st 930. This is possibly the
