"Mossy Face" a bay hunter, obviously enjoys being fussed over by her owner, Miss Biddy Taylor, and Mrs. Marion Donald (right) at the Aldergrove meet of the Killultagh, Old Rock and Chichester Harriers today.	'SPIRIT' of Distillery lives on One of the earliest references to Old Coleraine whiskey comes in a story from the 12th Century. Canon O'Laverty, referring to a feast near Bushmills, claimed guests started out to Louth but got lost in the wild of Kerry, because they had taken too much 'Old Coleraine'!.................... The Moore family of Moorefort, owners of the Bann Distillery at Drumaheaglis on the outskirts of Ballymoney, bought the distillery in the 1840's By then the whisky had acquired the advertising (HC) a reference to its introduction to the House of Commons in 1845. In 1869 the Distillery was taken over by Robert A. Taylor, a member of a highly respected Coleraine family. He was chairman of Colerain Town Commissioners, a member of the Londonderry Grand Jury, a representative of the Coleraine division of the Londonderry County Council and a vice president of the Board of Governors of Coleraine Academical Institution. His brother, Daniel, was Liberal MP for Coleraine between 1874-80 and High Sheriff of the City and County of Londonderry in 1885. Under Taylor, who was knighted in 1899, Coleraine malt enhances its reputation and was praised in a number of journals by writers visiting the north coast. In January 1974 the Distillery sent a cask of whisky to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on the occasion of his marriage to princess Marie Alexamdrowna of Russia. Old Coleraine established renown for its smooth taste and at the Edinburgh Exhibition in 1886 it received the jurors' Highest Pure Malt Distillers' Award. After Robert Taylor died in 1902 at the age pf 72 (his brother Daniel has died in 1899), he was succeeded by his nephew Andrew Clarke) However the plant was inoperative when another noted family, the Boyds, took over after the Taylor's had nurtured and developed the malt for some 64 years.................
newspaper clipping MRS. ANDREW CLARKE Mrs. Andrew Clarke, Ballysally House, Coleraine, whose death occurred on Saturday, was more than 80 and had been an outstanding figure in Coleraine and district. She took an active part in the activities of philanthropic charitable and other organisations. Eldest daughter of the late Mr. Daniel Taylor, who was at one time a Member of Parliament for Coleraine borough at Westminster, Mrs. Clarke was a niece of Sir Robert Taylor, formerly of the Coleraine Distillery Company, Newmarket Street. On the death of Sir Robert, the business came under the direction of Mr. Andrew Clarke, D.L., the husband of Mrs. Clarke. Following her marriage, Mrs. Clarke became permanently resident in Ballysally House. She succeeded her mother on the management committee of the old Coleraine Cottage Hospital. The U.S.P.C.A., the District Nursing Association, the Girl Guide Movement, and the Horticultural Society were only a few of the other local organisations in which she took a prominent part. She was a member of the committee of 1st Coleraine Presbyterian Church. A sister, Miss Florence Taylor, Portstewart Road, Coleraine, is now the sole surviving member of the family.	newspaper clipping October 2, 1926 Coleraine anglers fishing the tidal waters did well, catching from a dozen trout down, mostly on the "eelskin" which is a deadly lure when well and deftly manipulated. Castlerock anglers, too, did well. Mr. P. Curry killed a very nice trout of 3lbs. 2oz. on the tidal waters, the fly being a Greenwell's Glory tied by himself. On Friday evening, fishing from the Cutts Heads, Mrs. D. B. Taylor hooked, played and landed a lovely salmon of 15lb., and lost another, which shot through an eel trap, taking about 40 yards of line with it. Mr. Allan, fishing the Movanagher water, killed a trout of just over 2lb., and some smaller fish were killed by local men at Kilrea and Portglenone. The feeders of the river are in much better order after the rain, and promise well for the coming week. About Toome some trout were got, and plenty of pike. Lough Beg - anglice, the little lake, is a paradise for pike fishing, and is giving plenty of jack to those who trouble to troll for them. Netting for pike use to be allowed, to keep them down, but the nets did not ? catch pike only.
Country life appeals to Daniel Taylor: photo Ross Giblin	CHICKEN BREEDING IS A HAPPY PROSPECT FOR UNIVERSITY HEAD AFTER half a century in education, both on the receiving and retailing ends, Daniel Taylor thinks it's time to quit. He has given his employers 18 months notice and is entertaining thoughts of breeding chickens at his Akatarawa Valley refuge. Born in County Derry, Ireland, Victoria University's Vice Chancellor came from a line of whisky distillers. That he entered the campus rather than the family distillery is probably thanks to his mother, Widowed when Daniel was five she stretched her small income to wean him on a British academic diet of preparatory school, grammar school and university, Cambridge included. He did her proud, gaining his bachelor of science in mechanical engineering in 1942 and the same in electrical engineering the following year. The young graduate then turned his hand to ship building before re-enrolling at Queen's University, Belfast, for another round of study. War's end found him contracted to the Admiralty doing research in metallurgy. Then in 1948, with master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees added to his credentials, Daniel turned his attention to his real love - rowing. The London Olympics were on the horizon and already the possessor of a "blue", he won selection as No. 4 in the Irish eight. The sound thrashing the boys received is still clear; "Yes, I remember very well, we were beaten in our heat by Portugal, beaten by Norway." These days oars are hung up and Henley-on-Thames is a memory. Bridge is the VC's game, interspersed with a quick burst around the green as once-a-month golfer in the no-handicap class. A well preserved 58, he has spent the last 12 years weathering the trials of Victoria University

newspaper clipping Miss F. Taylor (Coleraine) The death of Miss Florence Taylor on Tuesday, at her home, 60 Portstewart Road, severs a long established family link with the borough of Coleraine. Miss Taylor, who had reached an advanced age, was a daughter of the late Mr. Daniel Taylor, Millburn, who at one time represented Coleraine borough in the British Parliament at Westminster.

The Coleraine Distillery (now owned by the Old Bushmills Company) was founded by members of the Taylor family.

The event, however, provided some spectacular falls, among them John English on Bel-Air, who fell at the double bank. The winner of this event was Miss Biddy Taylor's good young grey horse, Willowdale ridden by Richard Tolerton from Lisburn, who won in convincing style with the only double clear round from Leonard Cave of Newtownards on his chestnut horse, Kempson Bells, who tied with Thomas Morgan's Andante, ridden by Cecil Mahon. Each incurred only one fault over the two rounds. The second Grade B competition for horses whose winnings exceed £75 but are under £200 was a speed event. The course builders had erected a most skilful and impressive course that tested the riders' ingenuity to the full. The winner was Leonard Cave of Sun Valley in a time of 69.6 from Derrybawn Duster, owned by John Reid and ridden by George Stewart, with a time of 73 seconds dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Calgary prize for Margaret Lisburn show jumper Margaret Creighton and her horse Ravensdale have returned from the Spruce Meadows Calgary C510 in Alberta, Canada, with a prize cheque of $3,000 won for getting round the Du Mawier Grand Prix course in fine style. The Grand Prix first prize of $680,000 went to Ian Millar of Canada who had two clear rounds on Big Ben. The Calgary Show is the richest in the world. Margaret, who was accompanied to the show by her parents, Elizabeth and Richard Tolerton, was so thrilled with the setting of event, she rang her husband Niall, on the Monday evening and persuaded him to fly out on the Tuesday. Unfortunately Biddy Taylor, of Dunmurry, who owns Ravensdale (since he was bought for her as a foal by Richard at Banbridge sales) was unable to attend because she had no passport. Ravensdale and Richard flew with the 62 other European horses, including Milton in a horse Jumbo Jet from Frankfurt in Germany. Margaret only heard of her trip on Thursday morning two weeks ago and within hours she was en route to Dover where they met up with Francis Connors and Marie White. By Sunday everyone was flying to Canada for the show which lasted from Wednesday until Sunday. "It was ridiculous to get such short notice," said Margaret who is well recovered from jet lag and plans to ride her grey Glenroyd at Loughanmore next weekend. "It was a marvellous opportunity to ride at Calgary; the hospitality was incredible and the prize money very high." At the Nations Cup dinner Margaret and Niall were able to brush up on their french when they sat with French riders, Eric Navet, Pierre Durand and Herve Gordignon. Although Margaret was out of the prizes in some competitions she managed to recoup some expenses with her good round in the Grand Prix. "Ravensdale went very well - considering he had a 13 hour flight and long season this year. We had a great show and I would love to return again." Ravensdale who is a good looking 15.3hh horse by Snuff Matter is now 14 years. He has been part of the Tolerton family since he was a foal, but he is owned by their great family friend Biddy Taylor. Margaret is a well known international show jumper and represented Ireland on Ipi Tombi at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics
