746 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



the celebrated English bull Sir Arthur Ingram 

 (82490), a roan bred by Linton of Sheriff Hutton. 

 Goldfinder was bought from Jas. Bruce of Burn- 

 side. During this season Mr. John Hope, who 

 was buying cattle in England for Bow Park, 

 selected for North Oaks ten head of Duchesses, 

 Oxfords and other Bates-bred sorts, among these 

 being Duchess 125th from Allsopp's, Duchess of 

 Leicester from Holford's and Duchess of Row- 

 fant from Sir Curtis Lampson's. 



In 1886 Mr. Hill imported the bull Duke of 

 Surrey 92018 of A. H. Lloyd's breeding, sired 

 by 27th Duke of Airdrie out of Grand Duchess 

 48th four three-year-old cows and one heifer 

 .calf. He also purchased about this same time 

 two Grand Duchess cows at a sale held in Chi- 

 cago by Mr. H. Y. Attrill, and as this imported 

 bull was of that tribe the herd now possessed a 

 considerable collection of the Bates-bred Duch- 

 esses. The females sent out with the Duke of 

 Surrey were a grand lot, including the High- 

 land Society's first-prize two-year-old heifer 

 Chief Lustre 2d, the three-year-old Bonny Gypsy 

 bred by Mr. Duthie, Charm from Hugh Aylmer's 

 and Severn Daisy an English winner with 

 heifer calf at foot by Piers Gaveston (50159).

 1360.50. William Steele, a lumberman of Ionia,
