128 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLK 



Crown Prince. Charity won every prize for 

 which she was shown save one, when she was 

 beaten as a calf by another of the same herd, 

 after which her career was one of unvaried 

 success. She was thrice decked with the white 

 rosette at the Royal and thrice at the Yorkshire 

 meetings." 



The Prince proved probably the greatest 

 stock-getter of all the many celebrated bulls ever 

 used at Warlaby. He was never shown, so val- 

 uable were his services in the breeding herd; 

 his capacity in that respect was attested not 

 only by such champion show cattle as Necta- 

 rine Blossom and the four peerless "Queens," 

 but his bulls for one of which, the champion 

 Windsor, Mr. Booth refused 1,000 were in 

 demand from all parts of the Kingdom. But 

 one of his sons, Duke of Buckingham, was ever 

 sold, Mr. Booth preferring to retain the owner- 

 ship of all. They were let and used with re- 

 markable results on some of the best herds of 

 their time. Mr. Carr, the accomplished histo- 

 rian of the Booths, said of Crown Prince: "To 

 the visitor at Warlaby I would say, ' Si monu- 

 mentum requiris, circumspice!" If you ask 

 where is his monument, look around you. 



Isabella Buckingham and other celebrities. 

 Isabella, by Pilot, had produced nine calves 

 before her transfer to Warlaby, but she there 

 gave birth at the extreme age of eighteen years
