370 A HISTORY OF ^H CRT-HORN CATTLE. 



and brought out by the steamship Austrian 

 from Glasgow to Montreal a cow and a bull 

 calf that proved to be makers of history. One 

 was Rosedale; the other, Baron Booth of Lan- 

 caster 7535. Of the former we shall have more 

 to say later on. Of the latter we must now 

 speak as a new force in the progress of the 

 breed in the Western States. Greater cows 

 than Kosedale may have trod American show- 

 yards. Greater Short-horn bulls than Baron 

 Booth of Lancaster may have "starred" the 

 great show circuits of the Nation. History has 

 failed, however, to record the names of any 

 such. The Baron came from Scotland. He 

 was bred by G. R. Barclay of Fifeshire and was 

 got by Baron Booth (21212)* out of Mary of 

 Lancaster one of a set of triplets bred from 

 the herd of Amos Cruickshank of Sittyton- 

 by Lord Raglan (13244). His second dam was 

 Lancaster 25th (of same derivation as Mr. 

 Cruickshank's Lavenders from Wilkinson of 

 Lenton) by Matadore (11800), a bull that was 

 a brother to Mr. Alexander's imp. Mazurka, by 

 Harbinger. Mr. Cochrane exhibited the young- 

 ster as a yearling at Montreal, Hamilton and at 



* Baron Booth was bred by Mr. R. S. Bruere of Braithwaite Hall, York- 

 shire. He was got by Prince George (13510) out of Vesper by King Arthur 

 (13110), and was bought by Mr. Barclay when a two-year-old for $1,000. He 

 was the sire, among other noted animals, of the $6,000 bull imp. Cherub; 

 Star of Braithwaite; the great show heifer Booth's Lancaster, Booth's 

 Seraphlna.'and the bull Knight of Warlaby, used by Messrs. Hunter in 

 Canada.
