674 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



came the heifer Gola and bull Fawsley Chief 

 10051, both of Torr's breeding. 



Notwithstanding these in vestments in Scotch 

 stock the English type of Short-horns con- 

 tinued to have the call in Canada, as well as on 

 this side of the border, for many years follow- 

 ing the Syme importations mentioned. Direct 



line, Clarentine, Fisher Roan and Snowdrop, and the bull American Belted 

 Will (12394), mainly of Raine's breeding. Some years later Mr. Wade also 

 imported a white cow, Newham Lily, bred by Mason Hopper from Belle 

 ville (6778), and the roan bull Sir Charles Napier (13712), of same breeding 



From 1864 to 1856 F. W. Stone of Moreton Lodge, Guelph, Ont., made six 

 importations, aggregating about thirty-four head. Mr. Stone's purchases 

 were made from some of the most noted herds of the time in England, in- 

 cluding those of Jonas Webb, J. S. Tanqueray, E. Bowly, Col. Kingscote, H. 

 Ambler, etc. Included in these shipments were the bulls John o' Gaunt 2d 

 (13089), Friar John (12905) and the llth and 13th Dukes of Oxford, the latter 

 sired by the Bates bull 6th Duke of Oxford (12765), but not tracing to that 

 tribe on dam's side. Among the cows was the roan Margaret, by Snowball 

 8602, of Bowly's breeding, that gave rise to a numerous family bearing her 

 name; also a pair of Sanspareil heifers, Isabella (Booth), from Bolden's, 

 and the roan Eugenie, from Ambler's, sired by imp. Grand Turk (12969). 

 These selections proved very valuable to the cattle interests of Canada, 

 and Mr. Stone made further large importations from England from 1870 to 

 1878. 



In 1860 Dr. G. H. Phillips of Prescott imported five heifers and two bulls 

 from Ireland, one of the latter being Master McHale 5943, all of Booth 

 blood. In 1868 the Quebec Agricultural Society brought out the two heifers 

 Statesman's Daughter 2d and Princess, bred by J. Harward of Winterfold, 

 and the bull Oxford Gwynne 12551, bred by Chas. Howard of Biddenham. 



In 1871 John Snell & Sons of Edmonton imported the roan bull British 

 Baron 13557, bred by Col. Towneley, and in 1874 the Booth-bred Knight of 

 the Rose 23646. In August, 1871, R. J. Stanton of Thornhill imported five 

 heifers from the herd of Mr. Fawkes of Farneley Hall, and the bull Baron 

 Mild Eyes from the herd of Col. Gunter. A second shipment was made by 

 Mr. Stanton in 1874 of three heifers from the Scotch herds of Messrs. J. 

 Whyte, J. Gordon and R. Binnie. 



Jno. R. Craig of Edmonton imported in 1874 the red heifer Euphemiaand 

 heifer calf, bred by R. Stratton; the cow Lady LeMoor, bred by T. Maynard, 

 and the roan heifer Waterloo J., bred by Sir W. C. Trevelyan of Northum- 

 berland. In 1881 Mr. Craig received from the famous herd of Lord Pol worth 

 of Mertoun House, St. Boswell's, eleven heifers and seven bulls, all Booth- 

 topped. 



Between 1874 and 1877 Mr. Jno. Hope imported for account of Hon. Geo. 

 Brown of Bow Park a large number of English-bred cattle, mainly of Bates
