Lad, Mon Plaisir, Flying Fox, Forfarshire, 
Financial King and Interested Prince, 
I have no hesitation in saying that Brook- 
hill Fox is tlie handsomest of the iot. He 
met with an accident to his jaw, while in 
quarantine, which spoiled his sale at any 
fair value. Golden Jolly’s Prince is his 
exact counterpart; and carrying the blood 
of Rosette 5th, Count Wolseley, Count 
Cicero, Golden Lad and Farmer's Glory. 
Mr. 'Wilson also bought Lady Bay Leaf, 
Flying Fox’s i^ady Fontaine, Fox’s Golden 
Queen, Maitland Julia and Hopeful’s Brit- 
tania. V. E. Fuller purchased for the 
Dentonia Park Farm of Toronto, Canada, 
the cow Victoria of Trinity 172313. She is 
a Golden Lad on both sire and dam’s side. 
The prize winner, Beresford Darkle, went 
to Mrs. Patterson, of Port Kennedy, Pa., 
wbo owns Rosette and some of the great 
“black cows’’ which Mr. Cooper has im¬ 
ported. Darkle herself is practically black, 
and while not handsome, is a great worker. 
She is a daughter of Ravachol P. 2032. 
Biltmore Farms bought Golden Lad’s Blue 
Belle. She is by Golden Lad 2d. one of 
the best sons of Golden I..ad, out of Blue 
Belle, P. 4037, H. C,, a cow whose owner 
on the Island cannot be tempted to sell 
her at any price. Blue Belle is the dam 
of Blue Nun, who has tested 18 pounds 15 
ounces for Biltmore Farms, and was 
sweepstakes at the Ohio State Fair in 1901. 
Blue Belle is also the granddam of the bull 
who heads tlie Rockefeller Herd, Financial 
King. Biltmore also bought Golden Lad’s 
Blue Belle’s son. Blue Belle’s Flying Fox, 
who, as his name indicates, is a son of 
Fox himself. The cow brought $1,725 and 
the bull $580. J. A. Middleton took home 
four head for $1,060. and Geo. Sisson, Jr., 
bought the same number, for $1,045. 
The gem of the sale was the bull Forfar¬ 
shire 64759, more than half brother to Fly¬ 
ing Fox, who sold last year for $7,500. He 
was expected to bring a “long” price, and 
many, after he sold to Filston Farms, 
Glencoe, Md., for $1,750, grieved that they 
had not bid on him. No one expected he 
would bring less than $5,000. Filston 
Farms’ purchases footed up $3,830. and they 
bought eight head besides Forfarshire. 
Low prices were paid tor all but Forfar¬ 
shire’s Perfection, who brought $600. The 
98 head in the catalogue brought $30,460; 10 
calves dropped after the catalogue was 
issued brought $705, making a grand total 
of $31,165. The average for the 98 head was 
$310. 'rhe total average, counting the 
calves, was $288. a. c. m.

THE T. S. COOPER SALE OF JERSEYS 
The fourth annual sale of imported Jer¬ 
seys was held at Linden Grove, Coopers- 
burg. Pa., May 30. The attendance was 
large, but many who paid high prices at 
the former sales were absent. Prices for 
the choicest animals ruled much lower 
than in former years, the total sales of 
males not eijualing the price paid for Fly¬ 
ing Fox last year. Such results were fore¬ 
shadowed by the low prices paid for the 
fine animals In the Ward and Peer sales 
held in Apiil in Hoboken. Peter C. Kel¬ 
logg, who has sold the Cooper cattle for 
the last 20 years, was the auctioneer, as¬

animals. Among them was Plying Pox’s 
Mermaid, 172875, a heifer coming three 
years old, sired by Plying Fox, and out of

year for $1,100. Another of his purchases 
was Maitland’s Grey Beauty 172295. She is 
an Inbred Golden Lad, having Duke of

and Beauty, a granddaughter of Golden 
Lad as dam. Dr. Still bought Plying Fox’s 
Brown Beauty 172316, a daughter of Flying 
Fox out of Nunthorpe’s Fontaine. This 
heifer topped the sale for females at $1,400, 
her dam bringing the next highest price, 
$1,035. A. M. Bowman, of Salem, Va., one 
of the most enthusiastic St. Lambert 
breeders in the country, bought for Bow- 
mont Farms six head, for which he paid 
$2,805. Among them was the second high¬ 
est priced female, Nunthorpe’s Fontaine, 
and Flying Fox’s Brown Queen. Thos. W. 
Lawson’s representative bought the bull. 
Flying Fox’s Foxhall, who was withdrawn 
from the last sale because of an accident 
to his foot. He is a son of Fox out of the 
prize-winning cow. Golden Lad’s Cream-
