LINCOLNSHIRE LAD II (1365). 



Lincolnshire Lad II was a grey horse 17 hands high, and 

 was bred by Mr. Fred Ford, Locko Park, Derbyshire, in 1872. 

 He was by Lincolnshire Lad, 119G, out of Madam by Match- 

 less, 1506. Early in his career he was owned by William 

 Harriman, Wilsthorpe, Derbyshire, and William Clark, Locko, 

 Derbyshire, and afterwards by Mr. Kyte of Derby, of whom 

 ( 'ajitain llcaton pun-hased him in 1881. He served at Worsley 

 and Chatteris, in Cambridgeshire, up to 1885, when he passed 

 into the hands of Mr. Walter Johnson of Hatfield, who tra- 

 velled him in the Doncaster district one season at a service 

 fee of two pounds, but being poorly patronized he was subse- 

 quently let to a society in Montgomeryshire for four years, 

 where he left some wonderful stock. 



Qn his return to Hatfield he stood at a fee of five guineas 

 until sold to Mr. Fred Crisp about Christmas 1893. ' At the 

 Southgate stud he had two full seasons at an advanced fee 

 of ten guineas, and died on June 23rd, 1895, at the age of 23 

 years. Most of the best shire stock now in the country have 

 descended from this grand old horse. 



Champion Harold, his best son, got more valuable shires 

 than any sire of the breed, and his sons and daughters continue 

 to keep up his name and fame by transmitting his excellent 

 qualities to their offspring. 



Lincolnshire Lad II was also the sire of Paxton; Buckton 

 Harold, 11,059; Eastoft Lad; Famous Lad: Majestic; Handcuff, 

 44">7: Lincolnshire Boy, 3188; Carbon, 3523; Lancashire Lad 

 II, 6031; Dunsmore Barrier, 13,011; Potentate, 12,086; The 

 Boy; and other famous sires and dams, from whom have 

 descended many of the best horses in the country.
