A REMARKABLE HERD 43 



Webb's Englishman (19, 701) and Baron Booth (21,212). 

 At the sale of the herd, 21st September 1869, the 

 average for 27 animals was 58, 16s. 9d. Seraphina 

 13th, then a nine-year-old, passed out of the ring to 

 Lord Sudeley at 110 gs. His lordship also took two 

 daughters of the old cow, full sisters, in Seraphina 

 Carissima, a roan two-year-old, and the red with little 

 white yearling Highland winner, Booth's Seraphina. 

 These were by Baron Booth, and they cost 120 gs. and 

 150 gs. respectively. The white seven-year-old Fan 

 Fan went at 165 gs. to Mr Whyte Clinterty ; but the 

 roan, Anne of Lancaster, of like age, which had cost 

 Mr Barclay 150 gs., drew only 54 gs. from Mr Reid, 

 Daneston, her yearling daughter going to Mr James 

 Beattie, Newbie, at 71 gs. The great bull for sale at 

 Keavil was the highly distinguished prize - winner 

 Heir of Englishman (24,122), the four-year-old son of 

 Englishman and Seraphina 13th. Mr Wm. S. Marr, 

 Uppermill, who had tried to buy the bull when 

 exhibited at one of the earlier shows, was then scared 

 off by a price of 1000 gs., but at the dispersion sale 

 the far-sighted Uppermill breeder had a surprise and 

 delight in securing his choice at 100 gs. Looking to 

 results at Uppermill, the " Heir " was one of the 

 cheapest bulls ever bought. Baron Booth fell to 

 Mr Mitchell; the twenty -two -months -old Frederick 

 Fitz Booth went to Mr R. Challoner ; and Prince 

 George, a red with little white calf, out of Seraphina 

 13th, passed to Mr Wm. Duthie.
