OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 331 
BRACELET AND NECKLACE 
134. In 1840 JoHNn Bootu of Killerby won first prize at the 
Yorkshire Show at Northallerton with the roan three-year-old 
heifer Bracelet, one of the first heifers of twin birth in the 
Shorthorn breed to establish a noteworthy show record. Brace- 
let sought stronger competitions the following year and in 1841 
won first as an aged cow, both at the Royal at Liverpool and at 
the Highland and Agricultural Society Show at Berwick. The 
following year she and her twin sister swept the boards at York, 
but Bracelet was defeated by Necklace at the Bristol Royal. In 
1843 Necklace was again the premier cow of the pair, winning 
first prize at Doncaster. These twins won over thirty-five class 
and championship honors. Necklace closed her showyard life 
by winning the gold medal against thirty-seven contestants at 
the Smithfield Show in 1846, this time being exhibited as a 
butcher’s animal. It was as a breeder that Bracelet particularly 
surpassed her noted twin. Her most noteworthy offspring was 
the bull Buckingham (3239) that proved an exceptional sire in 
the herd of Ricuarp BootH at Warlaby. A show bull of 
importance produced by Bracelet was the good Hamlet by 
Leonard, while her calf of 1842, the red bull Morning Star, 
was sold as a two-year-old to Louis Phillipe of France. Brace- 
let’s most noted daughter was the white show cow Birthday by 
Lord Stanley (4269). Birthday herself was a famous breeder 
and through her son, Lord George (10439), and his son, Second 
Duke of Athol (11376), became incorporated into the pedigrees 
of the famous Woodburn Duchesses of Airdrie (82).
