for a two-year-old filly was $5000 for Montrave Rosea, by Prince 

 of Albion. As noted elsewhere, Baron of Buchlyvie (11263) s ld 

 in 1911 for $47,500, the highest price paid for a draft horse to 

 1919, being equaled, however, in 1917 by the Belgian Farceur. 



The distribution of the Clydesdale is very widespread, but it 

 has found most favor in English-speaking countries, notably 

 Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Under normal conditions 

 there is a rather active exportation from Scotland to other countries. 

 In 1913 Alexander Mowat 1 reported from Scotland that in 1912 

 there were 1156 Clydesdales exported to Canada, as compared 

 with 1349 in 1911 ; 57 to the United States against 97 in 1911 ;
