This last bull was very beautiful, and reached such great public favor that at the dispersion sale of Charles Colling in 1810 he brought one thousand guineas ($5000), which was the highest price paid up to that time. Of Booth breeding, some of the most famous founders were White Strawberry, Anna, Isabella, Moss Rose, and Countess. The latter was grandam of the twins Necklace and Bracelet, two of the most famous show heifers of his- tory ; Bracelet became a remarkable breeder and founder of a tribe. Isabella as a show cow was "matchless," yet she also was a great breeder. The bulls Young Albion (15), Pilot (496), Julius Cassar (1143), Buck- ingham (3239), Crown Prince (10087), ^nd Windsor (14013) were leading Booth sires. In the herd of Thomas Bates foundation stock of eminence began with Daisy Bull (186), obtained from Charles Colling. In 1804 Bates bought the cow Duchess by the above bull, from which in 1805 he secured the bull calf Ketton (709), sired by Favorite. A granddaughter of Duchess, named Young Duchess, sired by Comet, was the ancestress of the Duchess tribe of Bates, his favorite family. The Matchem cow from which the Oxford tribe descends, the Princess cow by Favorite, and a cow known as Acklam Red Rose (Red Rose ist) from which descends the Cambridge Roses and American Rose of Sharons, were most important foundation dams in the Bates herd. Of the bulls which brought fame to Bates, the more conspicuous were 2d Hubback (1423) by The Earl (646), Belvedere (1706) Fig. 69. Pride of Morning (120551 J, by Star of Morning (121243).
