OTHER EMINENT ENGLISH BREEDERS. 157 



of Princess blood through the noted Earl of 

 Dublin (10178), a white bull bred by J. Ste- 

 phenson of Wolviston, tracing to Angelina by 

 Phenomenon, the mother of the dam of Belve- 

 dere (1706). John Thornton says: " Sir Charles 

 took a great fancy to the Earl of Dublin, but 

 the only opinion that could be obtained from 

 him was that 'any bull was big enough if he 

 were good enough.' ' 



At a memorable sale held at Fawsley in 1856 

 the celebrated white cow Cold Cream, by Earl 

 of Dublin, was bought for the Royal herd at 

 Windsor at 100 guineas, a great price for the 

 times. A granddaughter of this fine dairy cow, 

 Lady Knightley 2d, was first-prize winner at 

 the Royal as a yearling, and was sold for 500 

 guineas to Walcott & Campbell of New York 

 Mills, at whose sale she brought $3,100 and her 

 two daughters $5,000 and $4,000 respectively. 

 Bosquet, a bull whose name is often met with 

 in North Country pedigrees, bought by Hay of 

 Shethin at the Fawsley sale of 1856 for 200 

 guineas, was of this same branch (Furbelow) of 

 the Quickley tribe. At this same great sale 

 Mr. Thorne of New York bought four Rosys at 

 an average of about $590 each. The Knight- 

 leys seemed to nick particularly well with 

 Bates-bred sires in the hands of certain leading 

 English breeders, and were for many years 

 classed among the best Short-horns of their 

 time.
