BATES' OTHER TRIBES. 133 



years, and that they were well descended all that time, having had a 

 Son of Comet (155), and other blood before the cross of Waterloo 

 (2816)." Of these Mr. Bates bred, from 1832 to 1849, inclusive, 

 from the original cow, twelve females. 



Of the Red Rose tribe, springing from the original one he bought 

 of Mr. Hustler, (descended from the "American Cow," previously 

 mentioned,) from the year 1821 to the year 1833, inclusive, he bred 

 eleven females. Taking a premium with the i3th of the tribe, calved 

 in 1834 (the i2th in descent from the original, Red Rose ist), at the 

 Cambridge Exhibition, she was afterwards called Cambridge Rose, 

 and the successive heifers of the Red Rose family were called Cam- 

 bridge Rose down to the year 1849, inclusive, of which there were 

 seven in number, making eighteen of the entire number of females 

 descended from the original cow. 



Of the Wild Eyes tribe, Mr. Parrington, of the Middlesbro' farm, 

 near Stockton, on the river Tees, a good Short-horn breeder, sold 

 his herd (Mr. Bell says in the year 1831, but this must be a mistake, 

 as the birth of the calf which Mr. Bates bought there with her pedi- 

 gree in the 3d and 5th Vols. E. H. B., is dated in 1832), and Mr. 

 Bates bought a roan heifer calf called Wildair ; but after going to his 

 farm she obtained the name of Wild Eyes. She was got by Superior 

 (1975), dam by Wonderful (700), etc. (This cow has, by some, been 

 confounded with the famous cow Wildair, bred by Robert Colling, 

 but not so, being of altogether different descent from her.) The 

 full pedigree of the tribe is recorded in the cow Wild Eyes 26th, 

 imported by Mr. Cochrane, of Canada, Vol. 9, p. 1008, A. H. B. Of 

 this tribe Mr. Bates bred from his first calf bought of Mr. Parrington 

 from the years 1835 to 1849, inclusive, twenty-nine females. 



Of the Foggathorpe tribe, Mr. Bates bought the original cow Fog- 

 gathorpe, of Mr. Edwards, Market Weighton. She was then ten 

 years old, got by Marlbro' (1189), out^of Rosebud, by Ebor (997), 

 etc. Her full pedigree is in Vol. 5, p. 386, E. H. B. From her 

 descended ,five females, bred by Mr. Bates from the year 1840 to 

 1850, inclusive the last calf being dropped after Mr. B.'s death. 



Many bufts^and possibly some females, were sold from these tribes, 

 but no females from the Duchess and Oxfords, during the years 

 that Mr. Bates was breeding them. Of the latter two families we 

 have seen no account in other hands previous to his decease. The 

 females were all bred to Mr. Bates' Duchess and Oxford bulls, with 

 few exceptions, and the exceptions possessed much of their blood.
