408 FARM HORSES CLYDESDALES 



the seventies of last century, left a number of good fillies, his 

 stock being more famous on the female than on the male side. 

 From one of these was bred " Damsel," which was for a time 

 the champion mare of Scotland, in the possession of Martin 

 of Auchendennan, and was sold at his sale for exportation for 

 500 guineas. Another Tintock filly was the dam of " Lord 

 Salisbury," who was also a champion, and sold for export at 

 i 500. " Tintock " took the second prize at Glasgow show in 

 1867, and travelled in the Strathendrick district during the 

 same year. He was ultimately exported to Canada, where 

 he was given the name of " Conqueror." " Old Brickhouse " 

 was bought at Horncastle Fair (21 miles east of Lincoln) 

 by Fergus of Brickhouse, and sold to William Park of 

 Dalmuir, to breed Clydesdales. She left three fillies by 

 different sires, which were all champions at Glasgow Show, 

 and two of which were first both as " eild " and brood mares at 

 the Highland Society's Show. Lawrence Drew's l " Prince of 

 Avondale " (not in the Stud Book) dam an English mare, 

 and sire " The Prince of Wales " left two champion mares, 

 " Sunray " and " Rose of Bank-knock," both got in the same 

 year. No Clydesdale sire, before or since, ever got two such 

 mares for substance and quality in one season. The grand- 

 dams of " The Prince of Wales " (673) were both brought from 

 Carlisle and sold in Dumfries market as English mares ; but 

 as the traffic in horses between the two countries involved the 

 carrying of colts and fillies from Lanarkshire into England, it 

 cannot be denied that these mares and other animals imported 

 into Scotland were most probably to some extent of Clydesdale 

 origin. The most rational view to take of the position of 

 matters, after setting aside all narrow prejudices of nation or 

 of breed, is to regard the heavy draught horses of England 

 and of Scotland to be different types of the same breed. The 

 difference between the two so-called breeds amounts to 

 nothing more than what may appropriately be covered by 

 the term " different type." 



Scotch breeders are rather proud that a number of suc- 

 cessful English breeders attempt to follow the Clydesdale 



1 When Lawrence Drew resigned the agency of the Duke of Hamilton 

 and went in for Clydesdale breeding on his own account, his friends 

 presented him with " The Prince of Wales" (673). He bred the old horse 

 to good Shire mares and ignored the Clydesdale Stud-Book,
