although put to good balls, as a last resort she 

 was coupled to this Grandson of Bolingbroke, 

 when a yearling, in 1795, and by him she had a 

 red-and-white heifer calf in the year 1796. This 

 calf Colling called " Lady." She had one-eighth

 Colling reared this heifer, and at maturity bred 

 her successively to his bulls Favorite (252), her

 tess, one-sixteenth Galloway, by Cupid; and 

 Laura, also one-sixteenth Galloway, by Favorite, 

 both of which proved fine cows. Her bull 

 calves were Washington (674), one-sixteenth 

 Galloway, by Favorite; also Major (397), one-

 Charles (592), one-sixteenth Galloway; the three 

 last ones by Comet (155). The two " alloy" 

 bulls, "Q'Callaghan's Son of Bolingbroke" 

 (469), and "Grandson of Bolingbroke" (280), as 

 well as the cows Lady and her daughters Coun- 

 tess and Laura and some of their descendants, 

 were recorded in Vol. I, E. H. B., many years
