The dairy cows were a particularly choice lot, being all young, in the pink of condition, aud showing well up to profit. These met "with keen competition, and made the very fine average of £S Ms per head, which is all the more noteworthy, as there were two cull cows included in the herd, these two selling at £4 and £5 13s respectively.

A 6yr old mare in foal to Lord Gordon made £30, a _yr old colt by Lord Gordon £17, a yearling colt by the same horse £15, and an aged gelding £11.
